This is a recipe that my grandma used and I made these cookies with my mom when I was a little girl. Now I make them with my girls. Every year I forget with the first batch to put sprinkles on the cookies BEFORE they get baked. I haven’t made these yet this year but […]
Creme De Menthe Cake
This is one of my favorite cakes to make but more importantly one of my favorite to EAT! I am not a huge mint/chocolate fan, it’s ok, sometimes I like eating but I don’t crave York Peppermint Patties or Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. This cake is a hit every time I make it. I […]
Meal Plan Oct. 8th to Oct. 21st
I am so not in the mood for meal planning but it must be done as tomorrow is grocery shopping day. Somehow I ended up with extra meals leftover from the last meal plan. Here it is….1. Grilling out with our neighbors – brats/hot dogs and potato salad2. Grilling again- chicken, baked potatoes and corn […]
Cooking in the crockot – Lasagna
I was hoping to have a new meal to share earlier in the week but this week has just been flying by! Maybe the birth of my niece on Monday threw things out the door, not really sure but what a great reason to have your week go haywire! Anyways, this wasn’t on my menu […]

Ham Balls
I first tried ham balls when I did a dinner exchange with some friends. I was not very excited to receive ham balls as a meal, I thought they sounded disgusting. Well let me tell you, they are wonderful! They remind me of bacon a little bit. So, don’t let the name gross you out! […]
Mexi-chicken Casserole

Pasties
For those of you who don’t know what pasties are, check out this link to find out more. Growing up in Upper Michigan my husband and I both ate pasties in our homes. I have my mom’s pasty crust recipe below but usually for the sake of time and my sanity, I just use refrigerated […]
Meal plan Sept. 10th-Sept. 23rd
Fall is in the air, it’s been much cooler here, only mid 60’s most days. I love fall, the leaves changing colors, the warm soups in the crockpot and jeans with sweaters. I picked up 35 pounds of ground beef on sale for .99 cents a few weeks ago and browned most of it in […]
