Dinner
Baked Tilapia and Spinach
fish that’s been baked, broiled, blackened or fried is fine with me. It’s truly my favorite food, next to spinach, goat cheese, and dark chocolate. NO, there’s not any chocolate in this recipe…eww.
The other night, my husband called to report he was trapped in traffic and would pull over to grab Chik-Fil-A. [...]
Spicy Zucchini and Pasta
This is a quick and easy dinner that my husband and I scarfed down with pure glee. My kids wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole; my son takes his pasta with a traditional red sauce. And my daughter, well, let’s not go there.
This recipe was created only to bring two distinctly [...]
Roasted Roast, Sunday Lunch
This is a really easy, simple dinner recipe, we ate for Sunday lunch.
It was a cold Sunday morning and we slept in. We decided to do what we always do on Sunday mornings; lounge around drinking lattes, reading our favorite blogs. The kids were already glued to the SpongeBob marathon. There was a nice [...]
Steak and Salad Dinner
This is a beautiful and delicious meal made on the fly. Let me tell you, I had no plans to put this together. I was at the grocery store and happened to see they had boneless sirloin steaks on sale. I picked up one small steak (.88 pounds for $4.83) to feed [...]

Creamy Penne Pasta and Chicken
This creamy penne pasta and chicken was a HUGE HIT with the family, particularly my picky daughter. After two bites, my son asked if there was enough for leftovers. That should count for extra points, right?
The picture above shows the adult dinner; topped with sliced grape tomatoes and sprinkled with red pepper flakes. Naturally, [...]

Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas
There is nothing difficult about making REAL sour cream chicken enchiladas. Every phase of the preparation is really easy. They simply take time and a love for Tex-Mex cuisine. I highly recommend you make two batches of enchiladas; one to eat, one to freeze. This recipe will fill two 13×9 inch casserole dishes.
HERE'S ALL YOU [...]
Using Baked Penne As Pizza Toppings
This is what happens when I have one small pizza crust on hand and four people to feed. I felt like eating my favorite pizza toppings, but I knew my kids wouldn’t go for it. I ended up baking the kiddos their favorite cheese & ham pizza. My husband and I ate [...]

Rich & Meaty Lasagna
If you have a real butcher shop in your town, I HIGHLY recommend that you buy from them. Ever since my friend shared her batch of fresh, ground beef with me, I have been amazed at the difference in flavor compared to the meat at the large chain grocer.
My son, Max, asked me [...]

Black Bean Salad, Chicken Quesadillas
This meal was inspired from a Hunt's recipe I found while clipping coupons. Naturally, I didn't have everything the original recipe wanted me to use, so, I made due.
KID FRIENDLY Right up front, my kids ALWAYS want simple meals where ingredients are kept separated on the plate. So for them, I made simple chicken [...]
