Swedish Meatball
This swedish meatball recipe is a favorite easy appetizer! Form into mini meatballs and serve on toothpicks smothered in a swedish meatball sauce recipe made from the pan drippings.
Happy New Year! We had a wonderful party with friends for our New Years Eve party last night. We ate great food and played a very entertaining game of Bingo with prizes. The best prize of the night was a Star Wars calendar that both most boys and girls wanted!
One of the appetizers was Swedish Meatballs. ...
Chili Cheese Fries
Loaded fries are a favorite of ours. There are so many different ways to do this. One variety we like is Chili Cheese Fries. This is an easy recipe because once the fries are cooked they are transferred to a plate and loaded up with toppings. Don't forget the cheese, lots of cheese because the more gooey the better. We don't eat these all the time so its ok to have some extra cheese! We eat these for a lazy lunch meal or a rare after school snack when we are running out the door for activities ...
Taco Skillet Dinner
Our busy season has already started! We have soccer, piano, volleyball and gymnastics at night during the week making it hard for dinner.

This taco skillet dinner is so versatile. It can be eaten on a bed of ...

Memorial Day is a days away which means it is BBQ season. I love food straight from the grill. Easy recipes seem to be abundant when you are cooking on the grill. If it comes from my garden it is even better. This Steak Dry Rub Recipe is no different. It takes a few minutes to mix the rub but then the rest of the time is waiting for the marinating and grilling.
Next time you are at the store pick up your favorite steak. The steak dry rub recipe takes only a few minutes, but you ...
Fire Wire Beef Kabobs
Labor Day is just a few days away and that means more grilling! While I do not let my Little Chefs grill I still believe they can participate in the preparation of the meal. This week we are offering you a Labor Day BBQ Meal.

Summer BBQ's are in full swing!!! And Sunday night dinners, for most families have the traditional post roast and potatoes, not at our house - We prefer STEAK!

Neely’s Pigs in a Blanket
Pigs in a Blanket is not a new recipe but we have never made them. This recipe perfect for my Little Chefs. Store bought crescent rolls were cut into thirds. Little Chef A cut them in all different shapes and sizes trying her hardest to make thirds.
Each third were brushed with dijon mustard then rolled in a cocktail frank. Some were rolled tighter then others but none of them unrolled so we were good. We decided it would be easier to brush the dough right after rolling out ...
Beef Stroganoff
Who doesn't like crock pot recipes? You throw everything in at breakfast, go throughout your day and when you are hungry for dinner it is waiting for you! When things get busy around my house I always think I should ONLY cook crock pot meals. No matter what happens at least part of the dinner is made. If we don't have time to make the sides at least there is something instead of a drive through window! Still, it seems easier to push through to completion when the main part is done.

Five Little Chefs - Seared Rib Eye, Salsa Verde, Dirty Rice
Before starting this recipe Little Chef Dad said, "So what kind of pain and suffering are you doing tonight?" He knows first hand how much patience this requires and how close to breaking I sometimes get. That and the dishes, oh the dishes! How many loads in the dishwasher will we do today is another common question. Little Chef A is very good at drying all the dishes I wash by hand. She sticks with it until they are done which I ...

Five Little Chefs - Beef Skewers with Cherry Tomatoes and Parsley Sauce
Little Chef A looked through her Giada At Home cookbook and marked some recipes she wanted to try including Beef Skewers with Cherry Tomatoes and Parsley Sauce. Little Chef C was the one who went shopping with me. She was so excited to mark things off the list when they were put in our cart!
The first ingredient that went into the food processor was the parsley. Little Chef A twisted and pulled it apart. ...
