It’s so hard to believe that it is nearly Thanksgiving. Seems like just yesterday we were ringing in 2015. This year has flown by so fast and now it’s time to start celebrating the holidays!
This year, for the first time, I’m cooking Thanksgiving Dinner for my family. We aren’t traveling this year and The Kid gets to stay home, so I thought I’d do it up right for the three of us! Continue reading »

I made an easy casserole dish tonight and I actually used frozen chicken instead of canned… Whoop Whoop! Although, I think you could substitute the canned meat just fine. If you do, be sure and drain the juices off thoroughly when opening the can, or your dish could be a little on the soggy side.
Here is what’s “On Tonight’s Plate…”

My mom’s Sloppy Joes!
I typically break out a can of Manwich if I have a craving for Sloppy Joes, but as The Kid so eloquently puts it, “MiMi’s is better”. So, I’m leaving the canned stuff in the pantry and making it the way my mom does!
Guess what… only 3 ingredients!
Ingredients:
1 pound ground chuck/beef
1-8oz. can Hunt’s Tomato Sauce (Basil, Garlic & Oregano variety)
2/3 cup water
Directions:
1. Brown meat and drain off the fat.
2. Add Tomato Sauce and water.
3. Stir and let simmer, uncovered, for about 30 minutes.
Serve on a regular hamburger bun or slider.
That’s it! I also heated up some frozen fries for old time’s sake. Mom used to serve tater tots, but I couldn’t find a bag smaller than the family size at Wally-World yesterday, so we got seasoned curly fries. The Kid was in Sloppy Joe heaven!
This meat mixture freezes well and also makes a yummy spaghetti sauce!

I’ve got a couple pictures for you today…
The first is, of course, our precious bull terriers, Macy and Rossi…
We’ve had Rossi for nearly 2 years. It’s taken this long for these puppies to want to be so close! I’m sure it doesn’t hurt that they’re both trying to be as close to the Hubs as they can get! They are such sweet doggies!
Up next, On Tonight’s Plate…
I’ve made this dish before, but it’s been several months. I’d forgotten how easy it is and how much I love it! Here’s how to make Provolone Chicken…
Ingredients:
3 or 4 chicken breasts
Sliced provolone cheese
1 envelope Italian Dressing mix
1 stick of butter
Directions:
Melt the butter and stir in the Italian dressing mix to make a coating.
Dip the chicken in the butter mix and turn to coat.
Place chicken on foil lined baking sheet and bake in a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes until cooked through.
Place one slice of provolone cheese on each chicken breast and bake for 5 more minutes until the cheese is melted.
That’s it! It’s so good!
Until next time…
Happy Blogging!
