Beef Goulash
Do you remember eating Goulash made with ground beef and elbow macaroni as a kid? It was a very popular dish in the 70s. It’s easy to make, tasty and very frugal. It’s one of our go-to meals when we don’t know what to cook. I love the fact that I basically just need to […]

Enchiladas is one of my favorite comfort foods and we have it on the menu quite often. The recipe below makes a nice big pan of beef and bean enchiladas. There is usually enough for dinner and a few leftovers for lunch. You can make them with the corn tortillas as suggested, or replace them […]

We love good barbecue around here. I used to head down to a little restaurant down the road to pick up a pound or two … until I figured out how easy it is to make my own. Look for pork roasts to go on sale and stock up when you can. You can freeze […]

Continue readingCreole Dirty Rice Recipe
This is a traditional dirty rice recipe that calls for liver. You can use either chicken or beef liver for it. Or if that isn’t your thing, replace the liver with a bit of sausage. This makes a nice one dish meal that’s filling and frugal. It’s also a great way to use up leftover […]
Continue readingCrockpot Ham and Potato Casserole
I love this dish because it’s so simple and very tasty. If you’re not a big fan of mushrooms, use any “Cream of…” type soup. One year I made this with some cream of broccoli soup and added a little chopped up broccoli to the mix as well and it turned out really good. This […]

Continue readingOld Sauerbraten Recipe
When I go to Germany to visit my family, I always love to spend time sitting around the kitchen table talking about old recipes. Even though we all have tweaked the recipes to fit more modern methods (even my grandmother), there are some authentic recipes that are just fun to read about, even if we […]

Just because the weather is getting warmer doesn’t mean my family won’t appreciate a hearty dinner. This grilled dinner is easy to make because it only takes 5 ingredients and is very filling and delicious. The coleslaw with Italian dressing is a good take on the classic combination of Kielbasa with sauerkraut. You can either […]

This is such a fun meal. You’re actually making a “mini pot roast” in an aluminum foil packet on the grill. Isn’t it great making hearty meals we love without heating up the kitchen? Check out this simple recipe and try it out on your hungry family. 1 lb. beef stew meat, cut into 1 […]
Continue readingBarbecued Pork Dinner – A Meal In A Bag
Making a hearty meal on the grill is easy when you have the know how. Rather than standing at the grill, turning meat and vegetables over and over and over again, why not throw it all together? Not only is it easy, but the meat gets so tender and juicy cooking with the vegetables. And […]
Continue readingGrilled Teriyaki Pork Tenders Bundled With Veggies
When the weather gets nice enough to grill out, I usually choose this for our first family meal. The reason is because it’s easy to do and so tasty. Another reason I make this recipe often is because pork tenderloin is actually a very reasonably priced meat. Considering there is no bone, you’re paying for […]
Continue readingEat All Week Off Of One Ham
You can eat all week off of one ham. Purchase one good sized ham, then: 1. Slice off the good portions to be used for ham sandwiches. The ham sandwiches are one meal. 2. Hunk up the rest of the meat that is on the bone. Place the ham chunks and bone in a large […]
