This recipe reminds me of the tomato dumplings my mom-mom used to make when I was little. Oh, how I loved those! This is a meal that just kinda changes up things every once in a while and it won’t be a meal that is for everyone. We really enjoy it here though. Continue reading “Tomato Gravy”
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”
