A Simple Sunday Dinner Menu

November 3, 2025November 2, 2025 RefreshHer2 Comments

I’m gearing up for a Ladies’ retreat next weekend, studying, reviewing and praying much, but in-between I’ve enjoyed being home to cook our meals. Since we were at our home church yesterday, I planned on having dinner here, rather than going out. To me, there’s nothing better than having a Sunday dinner nearly ready to enjoy after the morning church service. It helps to make the afternoon slower, and the fellowship with friends even sweeter.

Yesterday I had the blessing of hosting a young man who is coming from The Wilds to serve in our church. Dale and I loved getting to know him this summer when we were serving there, and now having him here in our church is a special blessing. His appreciation for a home cooked meal makes cooking a joy! We also invited another couple from our church to join us. I loved having all of them in our home and especially around our dining room table.

Those amber glasses were given to me by my mom and I love using them in the fall.

A Fall Road Trip & Family Recipes

October 20, 2025October 19, 2025 RefreshHer2 Comments

I had the blessing of making a trip to Kentucky this weekend to visit with my mom. The trip here was a beautiful fall drive through the Cumberland Gap. The trip on that route is always refreshing, but on Saturday the colors made me gasp! The curvy roads dotted with barns and silos were even prettier with the autumn colors as a backdrop. I’m thankful that the trip is an easy one. I enjoy listening to an audio book while I drive. It truly makes the time pass quickly. Then conversations with my girls and my husband also made the trip easier!

Not long after I arrived at my mom’s house she said, “Guess what we’re having for supper?” Many things popped into my head that she is known for, but before I had a time to start guessing she said, “Herbed Chicken!” Oh my, this recipe takes fried chicken up a sophisticated notch! The chicken breast is filled with an herbed cream cheese mixture and it’s heavenly! I haven’t made it for a couple of years, so I was excited about the supper meal coming in a few hours! I first shared the recipe here – a long time ago!

Delicious Veggie Stromboli Recipe for Busy Nights

March 17, 2025March 17, 2025 RefreshHerLeave a comment

Last week I shared a few new recipes I was anxious to try. I have an update about one that was super easy and also delicious! I made the Veggie Stromboli from Skinny Taste and we really enjoyed it. A stromboli is kind of like a rolled up pizza. Sometimes homemade stromboli’s and pizzas are labor intensive, but a packaged pizza crust made this come together quickly.

I found a package of pizza dough at Aldi – not in a can, but a plastic bag. It was on sale last week for .99! I’m so glad I found this for nights when I don’t want to make my own crust. This is great for a busy night! You won’t be skimping on flavor, just time!

Flavorful Baked Chicken Fajitas Ready in 25 Minutes

March 3, 2025March 2, 2025 RefreshHer4 Comments

I’m reposting an old recipe that is great when you need a delicious meal in a hurry. We love Mexican foods, and this dish is full of the kind of flavors we enjoy, plus it is very fast to make and is also a great do-ahead dish! That alone makes it a perfect pick for a busy day!

Typically, fajita meats are grilled, which gives them great flavor, but for a meal that needs to be on the table quickly, it’s not always the best way to go. I found this recipe on Chef in Training‘s web site (this is a great site!). She found it on another site…and so on and so on! There’s nothing new under the sun, but we must give credit where credit is due! =)
