This recipe I found on my friend Pickle’s site www.foodthoughtsofachefwannabe.com!  She calls it her funeral casserole!  Many call it tater tot casserole, but as I was assembling it I realized it really is the redneck version of a shepherd’s pie, so I renamed it hope she won’t be mad !  But not sure my kids …

OK so this is by no means an original recipe, yet having been a baker in my past life, and having that bakery be in a cafe that made this every day I do have a few helpful hints that might be liked by some of you!  While I used to think this meal was …

This is my pot luck go to!  All the yummy goodness of homemade lasagna with the swift easy prep of ravioli!  You can make this way ahead of time and freeze, or make it the same day it is up to you!!.  Feel free to adapt and change it is really the process that makes …

Ok, so I’m sure you have all noticed I have been absent from the website for a while, sorry!  Life has just seemed to taken over lately, but I am trying to balance better and posting some of what I have been doing in the kitchen !  This post is one of those things!  This …

Pinterest has become a great source for new ideas and recipes! This is my latest pin, it worked great for a last minute dinner idea when time and inspiration were in short supply!  This could not be easier and was universally liked by the entire tribe!  This came from quick-dish by tablespoon.com.  I changed up …

Saw this on  a facebook page, went right to it, and had to make it! It is from the Better Homes and Garden’s test kitchens.  Made it ahead of time and refrigerated it until about 1 hour before dinner and then popped it into the oven.  It was the perfect side to go with dinner.  …

This is a recipe that I saw on a fellow blogger’s site, and had to try! I made a few adaptations (of course) as I never seem to have all the right ingredients.  We love gyros, but the traditional lamb is harder to find, so this chicken recipe seemed right up our alley! I was …
