This recipe came about after I found a recipe in my FaceBook feed for Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. After reading through the recipe I decided I wanted to try something different. So after looking at a few different ideas. playing with the batter and filling, and lots of taste testing this was the winner here. Continue reading “Cinnamon Roll Pancakes”
I think this is one of my favorite meals. I remember learning how to make this on a wood cookstove!
You can make it by itself with sausage or bacon to give it extra flavor. It is delicious over biscuits, toast, Salisbury steak, scrambled eggs and just about anything else your little heart could imagine.
Use your favorite biscuit recipe or buy some of the ‘whack ’em on the counter’ biscuits. I have used the Emergency Rolls, 7 Up Biscuits, toast, and even the 30 minute Rolls for this meal. Continue reading “Biscuits ‘N Gravy”
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 week I have a couple of new/old and forgotten recipes to try. I will mark them with a ** so you will know which ones they are.

This is an oldie but goodie. My older kids loved this when they were younger. I think I have a couple of other variations that rotate through my menu plan but this was the first attempt at a chicken casserole that I made.
A lot of the older recipes I have are ones that were passed down or ones that I scribbled down on scraps of paper. These come from family and friends. Many of them come from dinners at our old church. They back good memories for me and I hope my kids will also be able to associate good memories to good food.

A friend invited me over for lunch one day and served this wonderful concoction. I’m not sure if this is close to her recipe or not but this stuff is good, really good. You can also make this on the stovetop if you don’t have a crockpot.
We like to serve this over rice to make it stretch a little bit further. Continue reading “Crockpot Taco Soup”
