I haven’t been planning ahead with meals here lately. Each weekend I buy a few staples that I know we’ll need for the week and then work with whatever else we have in our freezer and pantry. This has been mostly a fun approach to use because it feels like I’m saving money when I’m…
Impossibly Easy Cheeseburger Pie
This is one of those meals that doesn’t look amazing but tastes delicious. I also believe that adding pie at the end of the name makes anything sound better. This is a classic Bisquick recipe that can generally be found right on the box. We added in some mixed vegetables – I may have been…
Peanut Butter Thai Noodles
I’m a sucker for peanut sauce and like trying different versions of it. That’s what made this recipe catch my eye. The recipe itself is from Taste of Home in their Quick & Light cookbook from Spring 2015. Yes, it true. I’m a cookbook hoarder. I buy them and read them for years. Our house…

Happy Mother’s Day weekend to all of my family and friends. If you’re looking for a recipe to make breakfast for your Mom tomorrow – this might just be the ticket. You could add some fresh fruit to the side and it would be a perfect way to start the day. This is an “Impossibly…

Chicken Cordon Blue Casserole
One of the first meals my husband made for me when we were dating was chicken cordon blue. I remember being impressed with his cooking skills and over the years – I’ve appreciated how he always loved to go the extra mile to make things delicious. I had him in mind while I was making…
Super Speedy Mexican Rice
I’m sure you’ve noticed over the last year reading my different posts that we eat a lot of Mexican food. It’s true. We do. It’s our go-to flavor profile in our house. I’ve been on the lookout for a recipe for Mexican rice because the kids love it and found one that was so stinking…
Hamburger Sammies
This recipe is a twist on one I posted not that long ago. (For the ham version – take a look back at my January 10, 2018 post.) This change-up was inspired by my son who really likes the ham ones but we didn’t have any ham on hand. Adding the green chiles to the…
