I just love crockpot meals that you can throw together in a few minutes, dump in the cooker, and walk away. I don’t remember where I found the original recipe for this but I have changed it around a little to make it work better for my family. Continue reading “Fix-It and Forget-It Crockpot Chicken”
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.

I don’t know where I found the original recipe for this but it has been a hit here for sure. Serve it with a salad to round out the meal. My kids really like to use ranch on this as well. Continue reading “Cheesy Chicken and Potatoes Casserole”
This is a favorite of my second oldest. It is pretty simple to make and you can add a variety of meats and/or toppings to it to make it even better. I usually serve this with a simple salad to complete the meal. Continue reading “Popover Pizza”
This is an easy dessert that my whole family loves, especially grandpa. There are so many different variations of banana pudding that I usually just make it the easiest way I can.
The kids really enjoy helping to put this together and sometimes add a few sprinkles to the top to make it extra special. They can slice the bananas with a butter knife and layout the vanilla wafers. I just have to keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t eat all of the cookies. I also like to put the pudding mix and milk in a container with a tight lid and let them take turns shaking the pudding. Continue reading “Easy Banana Pudding”
