I had planned on a nice homemade dinner for DH’s birthday, but after the day I had it just didn’t work out. Which I guess is a good thing [...]
Today I decided to cook Turkey Macaroni Casserole, a dish I found on Carries Cooking. Should be interesting.
As is always the case when recreating new meals, I encountered problems right off the bat.
First of all, when I went to make this dish I discovered that I did not in fact have macaroni in my pantry, [...]
As I mentioned before upon realizing that this blog has been running for over a year now, I made up my mind to make this next year even better! More organization with my original segments, as well as just more posting in general.
You may have noticed that my Culinary Catastrophes have been a bit scarce [...]
Tonight I served the kids an old standby, but a favorite nonetheless.
2 packages Ramen noodles (chicken flavored)
2 eggs thrown in with the noodles and then broken up as they cook
1 cup (or so) of frozen peas thrown in at the tail end of the noodles cooking.

It’s time for another attempt to create something new for me in the kitchen and to see what I end up with.
Today I’m making Bubble Pizza. Of course, this wouldn’t be my blog if I had all the necessary ingredients, my kids were willing to eat the ingredients or some part of me didn’t [...]

Well tonight I finally served the Mini Meat Loaf and Glazed Baby Carrots from my first escapade. I’m sorry to say that my efforts to steam the carrots resulted in over/undercooked (if that’s possible) and on my second 2 minutes of cooking I actually exploded one half of the bag! Good thing it was on [...]
Well, as a result of not freezing but leaving the Lasagna Rolls in the fridge, I ended up with very tough edges BUT I beat my 4 out of 5 family members objective. EVERYONE LOVED IT! My picky 5 year old ate the entire thing and my husband informed me that I should [...]
I was thinking that in my ongoing efforts to try to find better ideas of what to cook, that I would chronicle my journey. Remember this is not the blog of an expert but rather a first timer who was never very good at saving, spending less, making real meals, etc. Might as [...]
As I have mentioned before I have been following some cooking sites in the hopes that I can add some easy things to the dinner menu that my kids will actually eat!
Recently I came upon a few other recipe and cooking sites that have led me to even more. I started out building up [...]
