Well, it’s Sandra Lee time again.  And, the title says it all.  I had big plans for this post.  I also had some pre-conceived notions about this meal.  My big plans were that I was going to let the little darlings help me cook.  They beg all the time to help me in the kitchen and I am just too darn Lazy to let them.  When they help in the kitchen, it makes a bigger mess for me to clean up.  …

Beef Stroganoff was something that my Mom made  quite often when we were growing up.  I have only made it a few times and I’ve been trying to figure out why.  I’m torn between I forget about it and all that sour cream is not good for a girl’s figure, but, nonetheless I made it today.

My Mom’s recipe was actually hamburger stroganoff and it called for lots of things I’m too lazy to go get out of my pantry…it’s such a long 3 steps from my crockpot to the pantry.  …

When I was cutting up all that chicken the other night in preparation for our Sandra Lee day I had a few extra chicken breasts thawed out so I started thinking about dinner for the next night. I wanted to put them in the crock pot so I could just plug it in the next morning and know that dinner would be ready. I looked through a few cook books and couldn’t find a recipe that sounded good. I also couldn’t find one that would not require me going to …

This is what my kids named last night.  It was indeed Lazy!  We are blessed to have a swimming pool in our backyard.  We all put on our suits and yes Mom got her hair wet. 

I bought pre-packaged seasoned fajita meat from my local Kroger store.  I also purchased the pre-made guacamole, fresh salsa and cheese dip.  My kids love any food they can dip!  The best part about this meal is that Big D is in charge of the grill so he does most of work.  All I had …

If you are like me, you are always searching for creative ways to serve chicken for dinner.  I have served rotisserie chicken from Wal-Mart so much that I have been asked not to serve it again.  (same holds true for Stouffer’s Lasagna!)  My good friend, Amy, gave me the easiest dinner idea and my family loves it. 

Buy one whole chicken.  Wash it.  Clean its guts out, etc.  Place in crock-pot.

Sprinkle with Lowery’s Seasoning Salt.  (or lemon herb seasoning, or whatever sounds good)

Pour baby carrots and frozen green beans on top.

It’s cooking week this week at Lazy Moms.  I would love to show you a fabulous meal I prepared this weekend, but there are none.  I can show you this pizza that I ordered.  That’s my Lazy Mom tip for the day!  But, this blog got me thinking…

I really do like to cook.  Why don’t I do it more often?  I have a love/hate relationship with cooking.  My Mom was a wonderful cook.  I use the past tense although she is still alive.  She used to cook the most wonderful …

Today I am cooking my first ever batch of baked beans.  I know most of you find this simply amazing, but let me tell you why:

1.  I hate beans

2.  Because I hate beans I don’t want to touch them, look at them, or smell them.

Alas, I am growing up.  I will be 35 years old this summer and decided it was time to conquer my fears.  That, and the fact that I am having my Aunt and cousins over for dinner tonight.  We are having burgers …

This morning I am cooking a recipe submitted by Melissa H.  In fact, it even made it into our poll.  Here is her recipe:

Crock pot – pot roast (tastes like prime rib) 1 roast (rump, shoulder, etc… I find that it doesn’t matter) 1 package of dry italian dressing 1 cup of au jous 5 beef bullion cubes 2 + cups of water (fill crock pot 1/2 way up with water) Cook in crock pot on low heat for at least 8 hrs. This is great to start …
