Sausage Breakfast Burritos

My youngest daughter’s favorite fast food breakfast is a McDonald’s sausage burrito with a Mocha Frappe to drink. I decided that I would try to create a knock off recipe and this is what I came up with. It’s not exactly the same, (mostly because I tend to put more of the good stuff in …

Skillet Pizza Pasta

If your family is like mine, they LOVE pizza! When I saw an idea for a similar recipe, I knew I would have to tweak it and make it for dinner last week. I thought it was exceptionally good! The only complaint from my family is that it needed MORE cheese and MORE pepperoni. They …

Grilled Chicken Bacon Sliders

I am SO happy to be on spring break! I’ve been on a non-stop cooking/blogging marathon! It’s great to have the time to catch up on projects, watch cooking shows, peruse recipes on blogs, and play on Pinterest! I love little sliders, though I’ve hardly ever made them at home. I got this recipe from …

Mexican Chicken Casserole

Quite often, my family spends Thanksgiving week at my sister’s house in Missouri. Jan is a great cook and has shared a number of recipes with me through the years. We usually arrive on Tuesday evening and stay until Friday or Saturday. Since we spend all day cooking together on Wednesday , Jan usually has …

Chicken Gnocchi Soup

Fairly often, my youngest daughter lets me know that we need to have a “girl’s day” together. This typically means that we will go visit her favorite craft stores, shop for clothes (for her), and eat lunch out at her favorite Italian restaurant. She’s twelve years old now and I love that she enjoys hanging …

Mediterranean Pasta

Since going back to full time teaching this year, I have not had the time to play in the kitchen creating recipes like I was doing. However, this weekend when I was home with my young, pasta loving daughter, I decided to get creative. We both love pasta and have no issue going …

Chicken Picata

A few weeks ago, I went with some of my friends to dinner at a local restaurant. I had never eaten chicken picata before, but when one of my friends ordered it, I decided to give it a try too. Well, I was glad I did! I really liked it! It had a just …

Brown Sugar Glazed Meatloaf

Every time I serve meatloaf at my house, I can count on one particular comment. You may be thinking that it is something about how much my family loves meatloaf, but it is not. I hear, “Meatloaf, beet loaf, I hate meatloaf”. Remember that line from the movie Christmas Story? Well say what they …

Cavatini

In the year 2001, I collected recipes from church friends and put those together in a cookbook that was used to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. My friend Lori has a daughter with CF, so she is always looking for ways to raise money to contribute for research. I asked everyone to …

Maple Dijon Chicken

Three weeks into the semester and already those days of pre-planned weekly menus and shopping lists are a just a distant memory. Grad school is keeping us both BUSY! It’s a very happy busy though. I absolutely love what I’m doing! (What am I doing?) A lot. 17 hours of classes, covering fascinating topics like …
