Here’s an easy weeknight dinner you might enjoy.  This is a pretty easy fix that you can make anytime during the day and hold in the fridge until you are ready to cook your meal.  Here’s a great tidbit for you too, when making a casserole of any kind, make an extra one and freeze it. Just cook and enjoy within 2 months.  Italian Chicken Roll-Ups  Boneless skinless chicken breast halves Thinly sliced deli ham Sliced Provolone cheese 2/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese ¼ cup minced parsley ½ cup milkFlatten chicken to ¼” thickness.  Place a slice of ham and half slice of …

We recently took a quick trip to visit my husband’s grandmother who lives in South Georgia (and is the reigning chief chef in the family) and she made Grandma’s Famous Homemade Waffles for breakfast.  That got me thinking about how these days most of us probably don’t make homemade anything for breakfast. We grab some frozen boxed items, microwave them and feed everyone on the way out the door.  I know I am guilty of that and sometimes I don’t feel too good about it, especially when 1-2 hours after breakfast the kids are complaining about how hungry they are and I know it is because they ate …

Is it still snowing outside in our hometown of Dacula? Are you stuck in the house? Kids home from school?  If so, what better to do than have a cookie baking afternoon with the family.  If you didn’t get snowed in how about baking anyway and surprise the kids when they get home from school.  I personally have never been too proud of my cookie making skills unless of course I use the quick and easy pre-made dough from the grocery store and even then it helps if it is already cut into cookie shapes. However, this holiday season we got a wild hair over at our house and we went on a cookie baking…

Now that the holidays have passed, it's time to buckle down and get back in the daily swing of things.  I am always looking for quick fixes for dinners that everyone will eat and enjoy.  Just this weekend we tried out some messy, but yummy Chicken Parmigiana sandwiches that were a hit at my house.  I fried up some fresh chicken, however this is a great recipe if you have some leftover chicken from a previous meal. In fact, using leftover chicken you have on hand makes this a super quick meal. Just warm up your chicken, heat your spaghetti sauce and voila, you are ready.  For a really quick …

If you knew my husband, he would surely tell you a recent "Momma Said" story.  A "Momma Said" story is about something my mother tells me (usually something she doesn't intend for me to repeat) and then I repeat it over and over saying, "Well, Momma said ..." These stories typically lead to lots of squirming on my part, but here is one I don't think she would mind me repeating: Momma said that if you eat the right dishes on New Year's Day you will prosper financially in the New Year.  Now I don't know about everyone else, but, with the economy in its current state and after my most recent …

Christmas will be here before you know it - five days and counting now.  Christmas trees are up, stockings are hung, Christmas cards are in the mail and before long we will all be making our lists of what to cook for our big Christmas dinners.  If your family is anything like mine, you probably have all the tried and true recipes that help make your Christmas dinner a familiar and warm time for loved ones to gather and enjoy the holiday together. But what about Christmas morning? You know the time I am talking about - before the big dinner at Grandma's house. Everyone wakes up excited to see…
