Slow Cooker Chicken Teriyaki The kids have found a new favorite meal at school during "Hot Lunch", Chicken Teriyaki. This isn't something I've ever made before, so I started looking around for a recipe, since they think the school doesn't serve it often enough. I came across a Freezer Cooking post on Ring Around the Rosies that looked like it contained ingredients the boys love, so I thought I'd ...
Loaded Roasted Potatoes and Chicken
I don't generally take pictures the first time I try out a new recipe. Often, I need to make changes to suit my family's preferences, and sometimes it takes a few times of making a dish to really get it just right. This recipe, inspired by Cook Lisa Cook's Loaded Potato and Buffalo Chicken Recipe is no exception. I can't tolerate hot sauce, not even a little, it kills my tummy. So, I knew I wanted ...
Menu Plan Monday
Some of these recipes I have already posted on one blog or another, and have the posts up with pictures. The one from last Friday was actually my first post on this blog, and I just realized last week it had no pictures! I haven't checked the Sim Card in the camera, but I did photograph each step (and Sat/Sun recipes too) so after I run some errands today I'll try to get started uploading those. ...
New York Style Cherry Cheesecake
Nick has been asking me to make a New York Style Cherry Cheesecake for weeks, since I first made a Sopapilla Cheesecake for our friend Sean's birthday. I don't know why, but I've always been too intimidated to make Cheesecake. I finally gave in and started searching for recipes. The one that sounded best to me was over at Honey and Butter. It looked easy enough to do, and she said no cracks, no ...
Cream Cheese Scrambled Eggs
It's national egg month, and in honor of that I made Cream Cheese Scrambled Eggs for Brunch today. I may be the pickiest egg eater on the planet, aside from eggs that are included in a recipe, I'll only eat Scrambled Eggs, and I have to be the one to cook them. I like my eggs dry, and in itty bitty pieces. I have tried to eat them out before, but people look at you weird when you order your eggs ...
No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
One of the kids favorite cookie recipes for me to make, are No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies. These are also known as: Preacher Cookies, No Bake Sunbutter Cookies, No Bake Oatmeal Cookies, No Bake Chocolate Cookies, No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies, No Bake Nutella Cookies, and infamously (probably only to us) as Poop Cookies. Why that? Because of the oatmeal in these cookies that helps with ...
Oatmeal Cookie Recipe Roundup – 8 Great Recipes!
January is National Oatmeal Month, so I thought this would be a great time to round up some of my favorite Oatmeal Cookie Recipes to share with you :) *Updated: Some of the blogs that created a couple of the original cookie recipes I shared with you are now defunct, so I replaced those broken links with new Oatmeal Cookie Recipes I've found and bookmarked since then. I hope you enjoy, and ...
Menu Plan Monday
I know I am posting this Menu Plan Monday a bit early, but I am trying to start planning now for the New Year while we are snowed in today :) I had a friend visit recently who got tickled to see that I normally use my Google Calendar to plan my menu's. It works well for me because I can put things into a rotation - schedule to repeat monthly, 2 months, 3 months, etc. so we aren't eating the same ...
Taco Pasta Bake
Taco Pasta Bake: My family loves Tacos, and Pasta, so I thought that combining the two into a Taco Pasta Bake would be a huge hit, and it was! Here is how I put this recipe together: First, I browned just over a pound of ground beef. The amount doesn't have to be exact, my local store never sells exactly one pound. This one was probably closer to 1.25 pounds. While it's browning, I place my small ...
Jello Pudding 3 Layer Pie
JELLO Pudding 3 Layer Pie Jello Pudding 3 Layer Pie is one of my kids favorite desserts to have. It's very easy to make, and only requires 4 ingredients. My kids request this dessert for every holiday dinner. It's so simple to make, that they now make it themselves :) It requires no cooking, just some mixing, so it's really the easiest pie recipe I've ever come across. ...
