Chicken or Turkey Pot Pie

Wondering what to do with that leftover turkey?  There’s nothing better than a homemade chicken (or turkey) pot pie. Especially when you have leftover turkey that is already cooked!

The kids were home from college for the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend and this is one dish that my oldest always requests.  You can add whatever vegetables your [...]

Cook Once Eat Twice | Boneless Chicken

Here’s one of our favorites.  This really isn’t a “recipe” per se… it’s more of a “technique (and that’s stretching it too!).
I started making this when I was at the grocery and found a large package of boneless skinless chicken breasts at a great price in “it’s marked down – use it today” section.  Knowing [...]

Chicken Fajita Pizza

This is a great recipe that is “somewhat” low fat… well, lower fat than a pepperoni pizza!  I made this as the “adult” pizza and used the second crust to make a pepperoni pizza for the kids.  This was a real winner and I will definitely be making this again.

I started with cubed chicken that [...]

Oh So Simple! Roast Beef

Here in Ohio, we have seen some snow this winter. A lot of snow. Mountains of snow. So much snow that I am sick of it. And I don’t get there too often. I actually love winter and snow. Maybe it’s because I can wear lots of layers to hide [...]

A Simple Dinner

Valerie Bertinelli is featured on a recent Jenny Craig commercial and she is almost in tears as she admits that this year her New Years Resolutions did not have to include her weight.  Mine didn’t either.  But then I ate like a pig over the Holidays.  And gained five pounds.  And can hardly fit into [...]

Pizza Dough

I really hate to defrost meat in the microwave.  I guess it’s because I actually end up cooking the meat in the microwave.  I have not perfected the whole defrost thing.  So, my favorite way to defrost is to take it out a few days early and plop it in the fridge.  Actually, my favorite [...]

Depression Era Cooking

I recently found this video and thought it was just too good not to share.  91 year old Clara lived through the Great Depression and has quite a memory!  She details how the bootleggers rented garages to make whiskey, how she had to quit high school due to lack of proper clothing, and she does [...]

Reuben Sandwiches (aka Reuben Loaf)

I hate that we call this sandwich “Reuben Loaf”.  The Loaf part makes me think of the oh so tasty processed turkey loaf  they used to serve in the school cafeterias at Thanksgiving.  This is so much better than that!  We really do have to get it a new name.
This is an old recipe I [...]
