  • Recipe – Chinese Burger Patties

    As promised, here is the recipe for Chinese Burger Patties.  Grocery prices in our part of the country have risen significantly in the last three weeks or so.  Now, more than ever, finding new ways to dress up plain ol’ hamburger is a blessing.  These are quick and easy to make, and are juicy and […]

  • Slow Cooked Chili – Fast, Easy and Delicious!

    While this may not be the recipe for chili connoisseurs, it’s definitely the chili recipe for a busy family! My husband particularly likes this recipe, too, so all the better. It’s got enough kick to be called chili, yet isn’t too spicy for my little guy. Or for me. I’m such a lightweight these days when it comes […]

  • Cowboy Casserole Recipe

    We’ve been making this casserole for years. It’s a great one for the boys, but I think that has more to do with the name than anything else! It’s a snap to put together and re-heats well.  It’s a good one to make up early in the day and then put in the crockpot to cook on […]

  • Pork Chop and Potato Dish Recipe

    I came up with this dish on a whim while I was making up my menu plan the other day. Seasoned, browned pork chops cooked in the oven over a dish of old-fashioned scalloped potatoes (just like Mom used to make). Comfort food at its finest! This doesn’t take a lot of time to put […]

  • Kathy’s Taco Soup

    This was on our menu for Sunday lunch yesterday, but we had it for lunch today instead. Is it ever good!  This is a good, hearty, filling soup, and not at all too spicy. I love just filling the crockpot and letting it cook all day!  My blogging buddy, Kathy, graciously shared this recipe with […]

  • Hamburger Patties With Mushroom Gravy And Why They’re a Favorite Here

    I have been hesitant to share this recipe.  It’s just such an easy thing, and really not at all anything special.  However, it is a family favorite, and a dish that has saved me on many a busy day.  The prep time is less than 10 minutes, moving slowly; and it bakes in the oven for about an hour, which […]

  • Cheeseburger Soup

    This is a good, hearty soup, inspired by everyone’s favorite – the cheeseburger! It would be a great supper time soup, paired with bread. We enjoyed it for a filling lunch with the left over corn bread from last night’s dinner. My boys both like this soup, too (which is important to note as Will is not a […]

  • Chicken Waldorf Salad

    This sweet chicken salad is especially good paired with whole wheat rolls.  Cut the ingredients finely to serve on sliced bread, and a bit more coarsely if you’re going to serve it over greens as a main dish salad. This is especially delicious served in whole grain Pita pockets. CHICKEN-WALDORF SALAD 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, […]

  • Mexican Cornbread Casserole

    Mexican Corn Bread Casserole is a great dish for family dinner or to take to a potluck. Flavorful, and not too spicy, the ground beef, corn, cheese and chilies contrast nicely with the sweet cornbread topping. This is a recipe I’m often asked to share. This recipe serves 4-5, but doubles well to serve up […]

  • Mexican Short Ribs

    Mexican Short Ribs – These are so tender and flavorful! I served these last night with corn on the cob fresh from the garden, and some steamed broccoli. It would be equally good as the anchor for a Mexican supper including spanish rice, refried beans and tortillas. It’s quick to put together, and smells great cooking […]
