How are you adjusting to the kids being back in school? Have you found your new normal?  

Are you smarter than a fifth grader? How many peanut butter and jelly sandwiches have you made so far? My pantry seems to run of out snacks before mid-week.

Coming home from work, nothing is better than preparing an easy meal, from start to finish for the family.  If you are lucky, you might have some leftovers.

Tips on making Cheesy Chicken and Rice Casserole

  • I loved using Marble Jack shredded cheese, but use your favorite
  • Add your favorite vegetables, like peas or brocolli.
  • Use a rotisseri chicken and shred, this will cut down cooking and prepping time.

Crock Pot Cowboy Hamburger Soup

Crock Pot Cowboy Hamburger Soup

Posted by Wednesday, September 09, 2020
Crock Pot Cowboy Hamburger Soup is a hearty dish.  There will be plenty of leftovers for your family.  I love that the ingredients in this soup came from our garden and the beef came from a local farmer. 




We planted a big garden this spring.  We have spent a lot of weekends canning green beans, tomato juice, stewed tomatoes, sweet corn. It was a lot of work, but worth it in the end.  We have a lot of canned goods to enjoy this winter.  I love adding tomato juice and stewed tomatoes.

Edith's Breakfast Casserole

Edith's Breakfast Casserole

Posted by Sunday, September 01, 2019
I love an easy breakfast idea that comes together quickly!  Edith's Breakfast Casserole is simple, and with a few ingredients, you will have breakfast prepared for the next morning.  




Edith's Breakfast Casserole is a family recipe passed on a few generations.  Edith is my Grandmother Patty's sister in law.  My mom said they use to go to Edith's house for Thanksgiving when they were growing up.
It is nice to have family recipes. First of all, I love to see how they cooked for their families.  It is very similar to what we do.  Second, I love keeping things in the family and sharing it with my kids. 




Everything is prepared the night before and sets up nicely in the refrigerator.  You should have all ingredients on hand, this is a very easy recipe.  I always make sure I have eggs on hand.  It only takes one time of running out of eggs, and you don't want that to happen again.

I was curious when I saw the recipe requested dry mustard.  Dry mustard brings more flavor to the recipe.  Dry mustard is also great in soups and sauces.  I encourage you to try it!

Cheesy Ham Hashbrown Casserole is a great combination of cheese, meat, and hashbrowns into a casserole everyone would love for a cookout, picnic or leftover ham!


This is another great recipe from my mom.  If I keep sharing all her recipes, everything will be named Nana's Soup, Nana's Cookies, Nana's Meatballs, etc.  She knows what works the best and said this is a great casserole to take to work for pitch-in lunches.


Cheesy Ham Hashbrown Casserole is an easy recipe to throw together.  Being a busy mom, I can appreciate recipes like this that have so much great flavor.  9x13 pans are great to have around, and it's lots of food.  Husband loves to take leftovers to work the next day.


Casseroles are very convenient and combine flavor and texture into a great meal.
