To me, this is heaven on a plate. I absolutely love sauerkraut and dumplings. It's one of those weird meals that you have in your family that normal people have never heard of, and you either love it or hate it. I fall into the deep, passionate love category (as do my brothers, ...
If the weather holds out, it should be back to school like normal for us. Two weeks ago, we missed 2 days of school, and this past week we were out on Thursday and Friday. Unfortunately it was due to ice both times, so we didn't even get the joy of playing in the snow. It also means ...
I loved the chicken part of this recipe, though I did modify it a bit in the way I prepared it. I cubed the chicken and then marinated it. I put almost all of the marinade in the large skillet with the chicken and cooked it on high. The marinade kind of carmelized and made a nice ...
I'm making this one for the first time today. I've had to give up on using my crock pot during the week as I am gone too long during the day and all of my meals keep burning. I have to admit that it felt weird buying beer at the grocery store yesterday. I can't stand to drink beer ...

My computer training got cancelled because of a snow day. I wasn't prepared to cook, so I hadn't set anything out to thaw. I needed a quick, easy meal that I could make with stuff I had in the house, so Pasta Carbonara it was! My recipe is different than the traditional recipe that ...
Yes, I know this is not a normal post from me - it's not a recipe. But, aprons and recipes go hand-in-hand, so I think it's still appropriate. :)I stumbled on the Flirty Apron Swap last week and thought it would be really fun to participate. It will be a great way for me to force ...
I recently shared this blog with my brother who is the director of marketing for the New York City Center. It entertained him greatly and reminded him of his midwest roots. Apparently people who live in New York City don't cook in bulk and store things in the freezer to eat later. ...
My birthday is Monday and I turn 38. I think I'm supposed to feel old. I have a son in junior high for pete's sake! But, I really don't feel old. I still feel pretty young. :-) I have a lot of energy and I definitely don't act my age. Ask my son, he'll agree with me. Anyway, my ...
Very tasty side dish. Next time I make it I think I will cook the bacon and the cumin in with the rice for the 20 minutes so the flavors are absorbed more.Ingredients1 T olive oil3 cloves garlic, minced3/4 cup uncooked white rice1 1/2 cups water1 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin2 cans ...

I modified the original version of this recipe, which calls for Arugula. You just can't get arugula in Missouri, espcially during the winter. So, I subsitute spinich. I also just buy a bag of pre-cooked, no tail, devained shrimp from the freezer section in Wal Mart. It's much cheaper ...

This is a faster way to make chicken cordon bleu, but it still has the same great taste. (Not the best dinner photo - tastes much better than photo looks.)Ingredients4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts1/4 c butter, melted4 thin slices deli ham4T honey mustard4 thin slices swiss ...

We had a snow day today, and I was reminiscing about an old school cafeteria treat. When I was in school, my favorite school dessert was this chewy peanut butter bar. They were amazing! I know, it's hard to believe that a school cafeteria item can be good, but they really were. ...
This week is a "use what's in the freezer" week for me. Sometimes I get so excited planning my meals for the week that I forget to look at what I already have in the freezer, and I end up spending unnecessary money on groceries. So, this week I'm using what I already have. My menu ...
Last week I did fairly well on my menu. We ended up altering weekend plans, so I didn't make the salmon on Friday (we got a rotisserie chicken from Wal Mart instead) and our company is coming for the Super Bowl instead, so we didn't do steak and scallops on Saturday (just ate leftovers). ...

I saw different versions of this recipe on lots of people's lists last week, so I thought I would give them a try this week. They were very tasty and a nice alternative to normal meatloaf. Ingredients 1 lb lean ground beef (93/7) 1 box Stove Top Lower Sodium Chicken stuffing ...

Ok, so maybe everyone but me knows about this site already, but just in case you don't, I thought I would share. Super Cook is a recipe search engine. It asks you to submit ingredients that you have in your house, and then it finds recipes to match your ingredients. How cool is ...
