HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!!! Let me start by saying there is nothing wrong with using some pre-packaged items from pantry. I have a few staples that I use, albeit probably not very often but not because I don’t want to, I really kind of forget to open the cupboard. We are meat and potato kind of people so I sometimes space that I have rice in … Continue reading Rice Pilaf plus plus
I am going to start this by asking you to make this!!! Demanding is a little harsh but damn this is amazing even cold the next day! Just saying as a Mom that if my kids wanted to make this for me next weekend for Mothers day it would be a good day!!!! A couple of weekends ago it was finally gorgeous out – a … Continue reading Marinated skirt or flank steak
I have heard a lot lately from people really interested in quick easy meals. I too really like it when you can throw together something quick and easy but doesn’t taste like you just threw some things on a plate. While we do like an occasional hotdog, beans and fries dinner; we for the most part want a little more love for dinner. Even though … Continue reading Easiest Pork Shoulder – slow cooker
This week my kitchen was pretty quiet; which is my way of saying that I didn’t make anything exciting that I felt I HAD to share with you. That doesn’t mean we didn’t eat it’s more how I would say “no brainer” meals were had this week. What I mean by that is whatever was simple, quick and not a lot of ingredients. Any shortcut … Continue reading Slow Cooker Chicken Thighs
I think I have finally found something I am passionate about. I mean truly passionate about. I love playing golf, I love gardening, I love traveling and exploring; but what gets me really excited is food. It only took me around 20 years to figure out that I get super excited about the experience of and being around food. I mean it has not always … Continue reading Creamy Garlic Chicken
I was looking around for a quick but delicious dessert to serve after Easter dinner. It was a small gathering but I still wanted something special for the day. I am going to warn you that this was so delightful that you will only want to make it if there is a crowd; only so you don’t eat the whole thing yourself. Baring you like … Continue reading no-bake cheesecake bananas & brown sugar
Happy Easter! Meal prep is such a buzz word all over the internet, it seems there are hundreds of ideas out there that people are sharing. I do like the idea behind it but I don’t think one size fits all and are you going to plan/eat the same thing every single day? Probably not! Could you for a couple or a few day I … Continue reading Macro friendly weekly Frittata
Last week I unfortunately ate WAY too much of the Texas sheet cake I blogged about; it was SO good I’m going to have to hold off on making it again anytime soon, eventually it is going to be shorts season again; once all this snow melts. My husband has a childhood memory of chicken divan, he never calls it chicken divan it’s always my … Continue reading Chicken Divan – a little lighter
I briefly looked into why this is called Texas sheet cake but there was no evidence to where or when this originally got it’s name that I could find. I did share this recipe a few years ago but I thought it needed to make another appearance. I honestly do not care what it is called or where it came from but thank you to … Continue reading Texas Sheet Cake
I don’t know about you but I have already been thinking about the plants I am going to put in my garden this year. It might have had something to do with the warm February we had but them mother nature had a different plan and decided we really needed another foot of snow. If nothing else it was absolutely beautiful around here. I literally … Continue reading Cabbage Soup – EASY
