Hello Friends, I hope you are winding down from a very productive day. Tonight’s dinner was an easy breezy crockpot meal – beef stew.
Ingredients:
Beef (any cut); carrots; potatoes; onion; McCormick Slow Cooker seasoning, water, cooking spray
Spray inside of crock pot with cooking spray or use a crockpot liner; place in beef, you can cube cut it but it becomes so tender it falls apart
Cut carrots, potatoes and onions then place on top of beef
Mix seasoning into 1 1/3 cup of warm water and pour over veggies and beef
I set my crockpot to low, allowing 8 hours of cooking time, placed cover on crockpot and went to work
Returned home to a fully cooked meal and clean up was a breeze (my men did it)!
Have a fantabulous night – Smooches

In our house cold weather signals the time for a hardy and healthy winter soup! My grandmother (RIP Mama), used to make the best homemade vegetable soups, I can still taste the seasoned carrots, tomatoes, onions, celery and of course the soup bone with marrow. I was looking for new recipes and came across one that included kale which is my favorite vegetable.
Ingredients:
kale, soup beans, canned tomatoes, garlic, frozen veggies and soup stock.
I was going to use the smoked turkey necks but there wasn’t enough room in the pot. I had to use a larger crock pot because the bag of beans which had soaked overnight really expanded and I didn’t want to discard any of them. After spraying the crock pot with cooking spray I poured in the frozen veggies, beans, tomatoes, a spoonful of garlic and then topped with handfuls of kale. One packet of the homestyle stock was dissolved in warm water enough to cover the beans.
Cooked on low for 8-10 hours.
I came home to a house smelling GOOD and a fully prepared dinner! This soup was healthy, delicious and very filling, hubby topped his with a little Goat Cheese and I added a piece of brown bread (carbs are my down fall) and hot sauce!

I cook chicken so often that I’m afraid one day we’ll sprout feathers! We like chicken, it’s quick, easy to prepare, and cheap but sometimes it can be BORING. Yesterday I came across a recipe by Caramelpotatoes.com and since I had all the ingredients I decided to give it a try.
Ingredients:
1.5 lbs chicken tenders ( I cut up chicken breasts into chunks)
1 egg
1/2 can sweetened condensed milk (I used unsweetened coconut milk)
1 1/4 cups coconut
1 cup bread crumbs or Panko (I used both)
1/2 cup melted butter
Preheated the oven to 400~
Used parchment paper to line baking sheet
Cut up chicken breasts into chunks
Egg and coconut milk on one side
Coconut and Panko on the other side
Dipped chicken into egg/milk mixture
Coat both sides of chicken in crumbs and coconut
- Placed chicken on baking sheet covered with parchment paper

I am still trying to come to grips with the fact that my oldest son is now 20 years old. Although he had been diagnosed as being mentally challenged there are so many things that he can do and does well, including driving. His birthday gift was a Tom Tom GPS from Best Buy to give him more comfort when driving to new destinations. Expanding his world giving him more freedom and us a sense of security made it the best gift, although he probably would have preferred a splash party like the ones he had when he was younger!
His choice for dinner was Ruby Tuesdays and I had a $10.00 gift card so of course it was a good choice for me as well!

Heeeeeelllllllloooooooo Summer!!!!!
Tonight’s easy breezy meal is Kraft Pasta Salad with tuna. This Is a good summer meal that is quick to prepare giving you more time after dinner to swim, walk or just relax. I used coupons when they were on sale at Food Lion paying less than $1.00 a box. I like adding fresh fruit which is a good compliment to the pasta.

I love to cook dinner for my men but because I have such a long commute from Pennsylvania I am always on the lookout for easy, breezy dinner ideas. Crock pot cooking is definitely my all time favorite but I don’t mind firing up the grill or even the oven during the summer. Last night’s meal was definitely easy, breezy using chicken breasts and Kraft Fresh Take mix. In our house, no meal is complete without a starch and a veggie, I chose Zatarains rice, steamed broccoli and Marie Callenders Cheddar biscuits.

Tonight’s easy breezy crockpot meal contained only 5 ingredients
Chicken legs w thighs// mushrooms // stewed tomatoes // tomato paste // McCormick Italian Herb Seasoning
I used a crockpot liner to make clean up easier then put chicken and mushrooms into crockpot.
Mixed seasoning, tomatoes, and paste.
Poured mixture over the chicken and mushrooms, covered and cooked on high for 4 hours. I was home today but if I had gone to work I would have set it on low to cook for 8 hours.
Dinner is served!
Don’t forget to recycle.
