Yes, you read that right. Honeynut squash is a butternut squash’s little brother/ sister. It’s delicious and depending on how you top it, it can be also eaten if you are following the Paleo or Whole 30 diet.
So where did I find this beauty? When I was at Trader Joe’s, they had the honeynut squash for 99 cents so Mom and I decided to each buy some because we were intrigued.

I decided to create a new potato casserole for our Sunday dinner. My mother-in-law told me that she loved it as she scooped up a second helping of the casserole. So I think it’s a winner in my book.

Last week I didn’t share a recipe with you. I was still trying to figure out the new gluten free diet I’ve been on the last two weeks. Continue reading “Cauliflower “Mac” and Cheese (Gluten Free)”
I’m going to try to post a new recipe every Tuesday. At least that is my goal. Let’s hope I can reach the target. It all depends on what happens in my life. As you know life happens.

Welcome to Day 23 of 31 Days of Slow Cooking.
Yesterday we got early to finish the rest of the Donut trail. We were successful this time.
Now Hubby is going to get my free shirt for completing the Donut Trail.
During the next few days, I’m going to be sharing some of the photos from the Donut Trail. If you are ever in Butler County, Ohio, this is one trail you should do. It took us two mornings to get it completed.
Butler County is located just south of Dayton and just north of Cincinnati.
Our first stop took us back to the donut shop located next to the pumpkin farm. In the small town, there is an antiques shop. While we were waiting at the light, I was able to capture this shot.
The first stop – The Wee One was willing to pose by the sign.
Afterwards we traveled to Hamilton, Ohio. Hamilton is known for two things. It’s the birthplace of Robert McCloskey who is the author of Make Room for Ducklings and Homer Price. Also the high school is where President George W. Bush signed the No Child Left Behind Act in 2004.
This is Mimi’s Donut Shop. She had cool seats that were recycled barber chairs. The Wee One was a brat so he did not get out of the car.
Then we drove to Kelly’s Donut shop. We ended driving up and down the street looking for this shop. Hubby was suppose to turn left instead he turned right. That’s why we couldn’t find the shop.
The Wee One got out at this stop. He wanted a bouncy ball from the gum ball machine instead of a donut. We allowed him to get that ball.
Across the street from Kelly’s was a prepatory school. They had some cool statues so Hubby stopped so that I could get some photos. The Wee One refused to get out, but the Imaginative One was more than willing to pose for me.
Join me tomorrow for the rest of the photos from the Donut Trail.

This recipe is simple to cook up and is also delicious. To me that is what makes a recipe a winner.

These carrots are made using the same process as my brown sugar carrots. However, I changed the recipe just a little bit because we were eating an Asian main dish. Continue reading “Honey Ginger Carrots”
The Imaginative One turned 13 last month. A tradition in our house is for me to cook one of the birthday boy’s favorite meals for their birthday. We had the Imaginative One’s dinner the day after his birthday because we had planned to be out on his birthday. Continue reading “Cheesy Orzo Pasta (Simple Side Dish)”
I started back to work last Wednesday. Since I know life can get crazy when I’m at work, I decided I needed to make some freezer meals. I cooked up some hamburger in the slow cooker. Some of the cooked up hamburger became taco meat for the freezer. The Wee One loves tacos so he’s going to be super excited to have tacos in the freezer. Continue reading “Asian Cole Slaw”
I found this recipe a few months ago. Since then, I’ve made it several times for our Sunday dinners.
