Whoo-hoo! Last week was the end of the school year for my kiddos! There’s always a sense of relief knowing that our schedules will be a little less busy now as we start settling into a more relaxing routine, but there’s also a little bit of sadness too. These kids are just growing up so fast! Where…
Buffalo Chicken Finger French Bread Pizza
My family loves pizza! On Saturdays or for a big game, it’s a fun family meal. Ordering out can get pretty expensive though, especially if you have a large family like ours. A few months ago, I was at the grocery store and I came across a marked down bakery cart. There were all sorts…
Inside Out Stuffed Shell Casserole
On Sundays I like to make some type of pasta meal for my family. We have more time to sit at the dinner table together and catch up over a nice dinner at the end of the weekend. I like to make a fresh salad and serve crusty bread along with the pasta, and…
Slow Cooker Spanish Chicken & Rice
It’s been cold, windy and overcast outside lately and I have been craving warm, comforting meals. It’s the end of fall, things are starting to look pretty brown and the trees are almost bare. My husband thinks I am crazy, but I love this part of fall! Sure it’s yucky outside, but it’s oh so…
Pipe Rigate Pasta with Vegetable Ragu
Sometimes a simple pasta meal with a glass of wine in the middle of the week is just what I need! This Pipe Rigate Pasta with Vegetable Ragu is a delicious week night meal that doesn’t take long to prepare. The Vegetable Ragu can simmer on the stove while you help the children with their…
Slow Cooker Cheesy Chicken & Rice Soup
This weekend I had a chance to catch up on my clothes shopping for my children. They had outgrown a lot of their warmer clothing and each one of them needed a few things for the upcoming winter. I made myself a hot cup of coffee, covered up with a warm blanket and went to…
Slow Cooker Vegetable Lasagna
The busy days of summer call for simple dinner recipes at our house. I am absolutely in love with making lasagna in the slow cooker. It couldn’t be easier! I love the fact that you can assemble your lasagna without the noodles being cooked. There is no need to buy special lasagna noodles either-…
Slow Cooker Chili Macaroni
We are heading into the beginning of spring, but it’s still a little cold in my neck of the woods so I am attempting to take the chill off with this great slow cooker meal. If you like chili, I think you will love this simple pasta variation. You can tweak the recipe a bit…
One Pot Goulash
I love comfort food that doesn’t take all day to make. This Goulash is easy to make and serves a large, hungry family. Because this freezes very well, if you have a smaller family, you can even get two meals out of this. Just store your left overs in a freezer friendly container and you’ll…
