Then gather your three ingredients for s'mores. Just … [Read more...]

Cilantro-Lime Chicken Casserole

June 12, 2012 by Alea 17 Comments

Do you ever start out to make one dish and then end up making something entirely different? I started out to make a lemon chicken casserole with green beans and new potatoes, but then remembered that I had used all the lemons making lemonade. I decided to substitute limes, but then that meant I had to change up the spices. Once I had changed the spices, I decided I needed to … [Read more...]

Slow Cooker Freezer Recipes E-Cookbook

June 11, 2012 by Jenn K 1 Comment

I love, love, love the slow cooker freezer packs. They save my day, sometimes even my week.

Also, no recipe from me tonight.) I love knowing that I can prepare a few meals that the boys … [Read more...]

Sweet Kielbasa Skillet

June 7, 2012 by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom 3 Comments

Winner winner sausage dinner! When I told my husband I was making turkey kielbasa for dinner, he wasn't thrilled. Once he tasted it, he went back 3 times! This is a great basic summertime recipe, because you can add anything from the garden to it. Throw in different veggies each time you make it and it'll never get boring! This can add a little to the cost if you don't have … [Read more...]

Chicken, Pineapple, Pepper Kebabs

June 4, 2012 by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom 3 Comments

This weekend I was really craving some teriyaki kebabs...I knew I had the canned pineapple (new coupon out for Dole...save and use with $1 sale for $.50 cans!), the chicken and we had a few peppers in the fridge that we didn't use last week. So I thought teriyaki kebabs would be perfect. I figured I had some teriyaki sauce on hand...because I usually keep some, "just in … [Read more...]

Pistachio Pudding Parfaits

May 30, 2012 by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom 12 Comments

This one is for my husband. He went to the grocery store recently on a hunt for pistachio ice cream...he doesn't do this often...but he was really craving it, so he went. But he returned home with some kind of "neopolitan," although it wasn't neopolitan, per say. It was a combination of something, something and pistachio. And he proceeded to then only eat the green pistachio … [Read more...]
