  • Mom, What’s For Dinner – Week of March 7

    This weekend, I got a cool pan to make my baked pancakes in.  Instead of the pancake being in a rectangular shape, it makes little silver dollar pancakes.  Believe me it was so much easier to get a breakfast for dinner meal on the table.  I made up the batter of the pancakes and then…

  • Pickled Beet Eggs

    One of my favorite ways to eat eggs is pickled beet eggs.  Yum! They need to sit in the brine for enough time.  If they don’t, I won’t eat them.  My grandma B. used to just pass the hard boiled eggs in the brine and then pass them off as pickled beet eggs.  Yuck!

  • I have a confession.  No matter what, I cannot make hard boiled eggs the conventional way.  The eggs’ yolks don’t fully cook. I have an egg cooker that I use at times.  However, I didn’t want to use the egg cooker when I was cooking up the eggs my sons were going to dye using Kool…

  • Aunt Missy’s Easy Skillet Chicken Parmesan

    A few years ago, my aunt sent me a little stand up photo album with family favorite recipes.  When I was menu planning this week, I decided to check out those recipes.  I ended up choosing to make her chicken Parmesan.  It’s a one skillet recipe and done in less than 30 minutes.  Score! I…

  • Baked Pancake

    Sometimes we want pancakes, but I don’t feel like flipping the pancakes.  I like this alternative so does my family.  You can add different toppings to the batter.  We topped half of the pancake batter with chocolate chips.  The other half we left plain. The Imaginative One said the only real difference between baked and…

  • Lawnmower Tacos

    The Wee One loves tacos so when I saw this recipe, I decided we needed to try this recipe.  Hubby loved it which is a great thing because he typically only likes Fritos and I used tortilla chips. It’s called lawnmower tacos because it basically looks like a lawnmower ran over the meal.  It might…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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.
