This is a recipe I make once or twice a year. New Year’s Day and Easter are the normal holidays I make it for.
I try to keep my eye open for sales as ham can be rather pricey, so can the honey. You could add sliced pineapples to the ham before you glaze it if you like. Continue reading “Brown Sugar & Honey Glazed Ham”
Mmmmm… I love homemade mashed potatoes. I use my hand masher to make mine but feel free to use a mixer, if you like. You can adjust the milk, butter, and seasonings to get these to your liking. Sometimes we use red-skinned potatoes and leave the skins on for something just a little different. We also like to add a few sauteed onions when we do this… yummy!
Need an alternative to mashed potatoes? Try these Super Yummy Caulitaters… many of our kids actually prefer these over regular mashed potatoes now!
This is our basic meal plan for the week. Sometimes we will switch the days around if I forgot to set something out or put something in the crock pot. Please feel free to use this or change it around to suit your family’s needs.
I do have ‘Snacks/Desserts’ listed as well. I always try to keep a bowl of fresh fruit out on the counter or table for the kids to snack on. Sometimes I will make a special snack or treat for us to enjoy.

This has got to be my number one favorite meatloaf recipe. We usually serve it with mashed potatoes and steamed veggies. The whole family enjoys this one and even likes to have meatloaf sandwiches if there are leftovers. Sometimes I add a pack of Lipton Onion Soup Mix to this. Continue reading “Upside-Down Meatloaf”
My kids love pizza but with so many kids it can get rather expensive. This is a treat they like and it doesn’t cost me an arm or a leg to make. Add a salad to make it a filling meal.
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Spray 13×9-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, mix the Bisquick and milk until soft dough forms.
Drop half of the dough by spoonfuls evenly in the bottom of the baking dish (dough will not completely cover the bottom of the dish).
Drizzle about 1 cup pizza sauce over dough.
Arrange half of the pepperoni slices evenly over sauce.
Top with 1 cup of cheese.
Repeat layers with remaining dough, pizza sauce, pepperoni, and cheese.
Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown, biscuits in the center are cooked, and cheese in the center is bubbly.
