Main Dish

Life with kids is hectic, add to that a full-time job, farm and all of the other things quick and easy meals are the only kind we’ve got time for.  

Craving an entree with Pork, Beef or Chicken? We have so many delicious options to choose from and several that are made in a Slow Cooker.

Casseroles make life easier for use. Sliders make great party food and mealtime more fun! While our meals with Pasta and Kielbasa are a few meals that we serve regularly without any complaints.

Tasty and beautiful give this  Sausage, Peppers, Onions & Potatoes Skillet meal or easy Sheet Pan meal a try! Our Taco Meatloaf makes a big batch that freezes and reheats well. 

Please let me know if there is a particular type of recipe that you are looking for and maybe we have a classic that could be shared or maybe we can develop a new one!
