  • Pressure Cooker BBQ Chicken Wings

    During January, I was sick for half of the month.  When I was sick, I was not hungry for any food.  Toward the end of my sickness, I craved BBQ chicken wings.  I sent Hubby out to get me some frozen chicken wings so I could cook them up in the pressure cooker.  They were…

  • Balsamic Chicken and Potatoes (Sheet Pan Meal)

    This sheet pan was so yummy!  The leftovers were even better the next day. These past few weeks have been off and on with great meals.  I’ve been so busy writing Individualized Educational Plans (IEPs), teaching, and being sick that I’ve cooked meals that haven’t been stellar. Last Wednesday, I left work on time and…

  • Ten Quick and Easy Meals for Busy Families

    As a busy family, I often struggle with figuring out what to feed the family.  So I came up with a list of possible meals that are easy to put together. On days the Wee One or the Imaginative One asks me what’s for supper, I can show them this list.  Then they can choose…

  • 7 up Pork Chops

    I originally posted this recipe in September of 2010.  However, I did not have a picture of the pork chops.  Since we had them for dinner tonight, I made sure to take a picture of the chops. Last night I baked these pork chops.  Hubby ended up being called into work early so he came…

  • Mom, What’s For Dinner? – February 15, 2016

    This week’s a weird week for us. I was supposed to have parent teachers conferences last Tuesday.  We had a snow day on Tuesday, so we had to reschedule the conferences until this Tuesday.  Hubby is in charge of dinner.  I put sausage on the menu, but more than likely, he’s going to serve them…

  • Cherry Cake with Cherry Buttercream Frosting

    I have another Valentine’s Day recipe.  This one is for dessert.  If you have the ingredients on hand, it’s easy to put this cake together. Warning:  It has a very cherry flavor, especially in the frosting.  If you don’t want that much cherry flavor, don’t use the Kool-Aid in the buttercream frosting.  Instead, use red…

  • Chocolate Covered Strawberry Granola

    Happy Valentine’s Day! I’ve been in the mood for homemade granola, so I decided to experiment.  With Valentine’s Day approaching, I thought chocolate-covered strawberry granola would be a great version.

  • I have Valentine’s Day present for you. I’m giving you a free slow cooker menu plan. All recipes are from this blog or my slow cooker blog. I sometimes have problems with menu planning, so I thought this would help you. If you click on the menu, it will take you to a Google doc…

  • This week I finished going through all the recipes on this blog.  I’ve created a spreadsheet with all the recipes and links to the recipes.  Then I broke them down into categories.

  • Pressure Cooker Mac and Cheese

    One of my favorite comfort food is macaroni and cheese.  I have shared my favorite slow cooker mac and cheese, healthier mac and cheese, and makeover mac and cheese.  Now I’ve found another favorite macaroni and cheese. This recipe takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish.  Yum! I use an electric pressure cooker. Pressure…
