No Bake. No Fuss. No Problem!

One of my favorite things to do as a mom is to cook with my kids. I started letting them help me in the kitchen from the time they could hold a wooden spoon. Finding recipes that are yummy to serve as well as easy enough to have your kids help out isn’t always easy but this one totally works.

Not only are you talking about measurements and teaching your kids to follow directions, you allow them to help serve someone else.

Being able to make something that others appreciate gives kids a real sense of accomplishment. The recipe we usually made involved layering a few ingredients in a pan and baking. This recipe is very similar. Only instead of baking, you just pop this pan in the fridge to set up!

In fact, don’t be surprised if your kids volunteer to bring dessert more often!

The fudge sauce is also great on ice cream so you might want to make an extra batch just to have on hand!

The simple taste of graham crackers, vanilla pudding and chocolate are a sure winner for any occasion or potluck gathering.

Quick Tip: The ingredients for this recipe is something you can keep on hand. Cool Whip can be frozen and thawed out in the fridge the day before you need to use it OR try this with real whipped cream.

Great alternative to potato salad or coleslaw.

I am not sure what it is about macaroni, but I always think of it as something to be served hot and with plenty of cheese.

This recipe has definitely caused me to stop and reconsider. With a variety of color and texture, it is full of all the things I love in a potato salad, without having all the hassle of boiling, peeling and cutting up the spuds.

When you have a bunch of kids you end up going to a lot of picnics and get-to-gethers. Sometimes the thought of making one more dish can be overwhelming. It is nice to have a handful of recipes that are easy to make and most likely you already have the basic ingredients on hand. This is one of those recipes.

Plus, if you have put your families’ favorite ingredients in this macaroni salad, chances are your kids will make sure they get a scoop on their plates before running off for their next activity.

A huge shout out to Jaclyn and Cooking Classy for this fun summer salad.

Fix it and Forget it! Now That Is The Ultimate Convenience

It takes a lot of juggling to keep up with everyone’s busy schedules. As a mom of six kids, I remember hectic days when it felt like we lived in the car!  And I know I am not the only one who wonders how she can be so busy and yet never feel like she never gets enough accomplished. Is that you?

I see you out there..nodding your head “Yes!”

While life can feel like a merry-go-round on warp speed, there are things that come up that we don’t want to miss. Life is too short not to live it the fullest.

The last thing you want to do after a long day is worry about what you are fixing for dinner. Time to pull out the crock pot! You can put this chicken in before you leave the house, so all you have to do is steam some rice and veggie and dinner is served!

Come One In and Pull Up A Plate!

There is nothing like having a big family and including extra people over to share a meal. There is laughter, several lively conversations, and lots of food. Sometimes my kids would have friends over, and when I started cooking dinner I noticed they would ask if there was anything they could do to help, which was an unspoken code for “That smells so amazing is it possible to stay for dinner?”

My mom had taught me from a young age that there was always room around the dining room table for one or two more. The big question is what can I make that everyone will like and will feed the masses without the huge messes! The key? Have a few great stand-by recipes just like this crowd-pleasing favorite.

Really, how can you go wrong with pasta?

This is also a perfect recipe to make when you are taking a meal to someone who needs a bit of help. It is easy to take over uncooked with instructions to pop into the oven.

You had me at Tater Tots!

Seriously, this casserole is as American as hot dogs and apple pie. Tater Tots, cheese, bacon and sour cream, what more could you want in a dish?

When we lived in the Midwest, this would have been a huge hit in the potluck line! Tater Tots are considered one of the major food essentials. Potlucks were usually loaded with either Jello-O salads or hot dishes that included a layer of these spud morsels.

The only place in town to get Mexican food was at Taco Johns, where they had Tater Tot Oles on the menu. Which is basically tater tots wrapped up in a tortilla with some taco seasoning and maybe catsup. While I think I might pass on that tater tot creation, this one looks too good to not give it a try.

Quick Tip: This Bacon Cheeseburger Tater Tot Casserole can be made ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen for later. You can also divide it between two 8×8-inch pans.

If I Had A Nickle For Every time I Shared This Casserole Recipe…

I love big family get-togethers! Whether it is a holiday, reunion, or just a time when we can all gather round the dining table there is nothing as hearty and nostalgic as a big pan of creamy scalloped potatoes. I usually have to make extra because we love them as left-overs!

The fact that you can make a huge dish is a relief because this is one our kids’ favorite way to fix potatoes and when you can buy a big bag of spuds fairly cheap, this also is budget friendly.

While scalloped potato dishes are not super fancy, there are a few basics that can set them apart from being boring to brilliantly prepared even for those just getting started in the kitchen.

The secret is in details.

This classic side dish that has been a standard next to honey glazed hams for as long as I can remember. Adding garlic and several varieties of cheese make this a perfect side dish for any occasion.

Quick Tip: Since this is a dish that takes a while to bake, make sure to put this in the oven in plenty of time. Let is set for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Voted One Of The Best Potluck Recipes Ever

I was so glad when I came across this recipe on the internet. I almost forgot about it.

I remember when we were visiting our friends, Bob and Ginger, and she fixed it for us along with a garden fresh salad and loaf of garlicky french bread. In fact, our kids even asked for a second helping.

Spaghetti is such a dinnertime staple, but being able to pop it in the oven and forget about it was something that really caught my attention, because instead of boiling spaghetti noodles as everyone was arriving, Ginger had the pan of piping hot goodness already in the oven so it was really easy to serve up hot after everyone gathered around the dining room table.

Getting together with Bob and Ginger felt more like we were with family instead of friends. And now, even though we live two time zones apart, I still think of them everytime I make this yummy meal!

This is one of those recipes that is easy to freeze for later, or to take to someone who may need a hot homecooked meal.

Quick Tip: It can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for a day or so before baking!
