  • I found this recipe right after my hubby, and I got married.  It was in our regular main dish rotation for a few years.  The ranch chicken legs were also a go-to recipe for when I entertained family members.  During the past few years, I have made it infrequently.  So when I found chicken legs…

  • I had a coupon for the new Philadelphia cooking creme, and they were also on sale this week, so I decided to try them.  Since I had never made a pot pie, I decided to try it using the cooking creme.  It ended up being delicious.  My hubby gobbled it up, which is saying a…

  • Another recipe I found on the Menus4Moms website.  It is easy to put together, especially if you use taco-seasoned ground beef that you have already cooked and then frozen. My picky hubby was surprised with how delicious this recipe was and how it didn’t taste too taco.  He does not like some spices used in…

  • Sloppy Joes on a pizza?!?!  Sounds weird, huh?!?!  Guess what, the taste is out of this world.  Hubby and I both enjoyed the pizza. Last week, I made sloppy Joe’s for dinner one night and then froze the leftovers with a plan to use the sloppy Joe on a pizza.  I used store-bought pizza dough…

  • Thursday was the Chinese New Year. We are currently in the year of the rabbit. Anyway, I decided it would be appropriate to have a Chinese-type meal for supper to “celebrate” the new year. Since it had been on the menu for the previous week but had not been made, I decided to make it.…

  • I found this recipe about twoish years ago while watching the Food Network.  The show was Quick Fix Meals with Robin Miller.  She had a lot of good ideas and recipes.  One of the best recipes I got from watching her show was a recipe for chicken stew with parsley dumplings which is now one of…

  • Sometimes you have good meals.  There are times you have so-so meals.  And then there are the times when you hit it out of the ballpark.  Tonight was one of those nights.  My hubby could not stop talking about our dinner tonight and how good it was. While planning our January meals, I found this…

  • When it’s a work day, I often want easy meals because I need to have dinner soon after I get home before hubby goes to work.  This recipe is super easy because it cooks while I’m at work.  The smells that meet me at the door are divine and make my stomach rumble in anticipation…

  • This is a simple 15-minute meal if you used already-cooked chicken or pork!  When my hubby tasted it, he told me it was better than the sweet and sour chicken you get in Chinese restaurants.  Now that’s saying a lot. (There is no picture because as soon as it was finished cooking, my hubby had…

  • Pinto Beans and Ham

    Last winter, I found this recipe and cooked it several times.  The last time I made it, both boys gave it a thumbs up.  I enjoy this recipe because it makes a lot, stretches a buck, and is made in the crockpot. Pinto Beans and Ham Stars of the recipe: Steps: I serve mine with Northern…
