Happy New Year! Depending on what you did on your last night of 2016 you might be looking for a nice and greasy hangover breakfast; maybe bacon & eggs along with some pancakes might work or if you can find it a cheeseburger and fries – I am open to either plus I wouldn’t say no to a slice of cold pizza. Or if you are a … Continue reading Prime Rib Leftover Soup
Firstly I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthy Holiday! Time has a way of clicking by pretty quickly. We are coming up on closing out 2016 but we still have a little time to enjoy not only our family and friends but some yummy food! These last couple of months of the year people seem to bring out … Continue reading Maple-Roasted Carrot Salad
I would assume that you have already planned what you are serving for Christmas dinner next week. We are a very small group this year so it makes it pretty easy to know what I am serving. The scrumptious garlic herb Roast Beef. It is far more affordable when there are just a few versus a large crowd. If we were having more people I … Continue reading Christmas Garlic Herb Ribeye Roast
Last week my coworkers very kindly made me some treats for my birthday. One of the treats was pumpkin spiced muffins with a cream cheese frosting. They were in my opinion just plain awesome. I believe the exact words out of my mouth were “where have these been all my life?” Super moist, not too much pumpkin flavor and just the right amount of spice. … Continue reading Pumpkin Spiced Muffins
Tis the season for craziness – I’ve always wondered why we; I assume we and it’s not just me. Try to fit a few months worth of shopping, baking and cooking into 3 +/- weeks. I always say I am going to start earlier, not do so much, not spend so much, simplify simplify simplify. I make lists; check them twice, OK at least a … Continue reading Christmas Sugar Cookie
I hope everyone that celebrates Thanksgiving had a wonderful day! As usual I made more food than anyone can consume in a 4 day weekend and now I am looking for room in my freezer so nothing goes bad. I also broke the unwritten “don’t stress out and make something new rule” well it actually might be written somewhere, I heard it all over the … Continue reading Easy delicious turkey stock / soup
By now you should know if you are cooking or just eating for Thanksgiving. I have hosted Thanksgiving at my home for at least the last 13 years straight. We have been as few as 7 to as many as 23. Over the years I have only changed a few things to try to make it easier on me and in return on everyone that … Continue reading Garlic & Herb Compound Butter
The holiday season is upon us; which is quite apparent if you have ventured into pretty much ANY store. Just this last weekend there was Christmas music playing at my local craft store while I was picking up stuff for my Thanksgiving table centerpiece. Let the games begin! And just because you have a huge list of things to get done on the weekends doesn’t … Continue reading Crockpot Chicken Chili
Tis the season for fresh apple cider! I am not a huge fan of drinking cold apple cider, I do like warm cider and cooking with cider is delicious. My guys were working a few towns away and went by a cafe in the middle of nowhere that made cider doughnuts that they raved about. Of course it took them a few months to actually … Continue reading Apple Cider Doughnuts
Soup is on and I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it – sorry you’ll be humming that for the rest of the day…hehehe Earlier this month we were invited to a soup party. This is our second time attending; last year I brought lobster bisque; only because my husband was bragging about it to the host. Unfortunately I am sworn to secrecy with … Continue reading Soup is On! Cheeseburger Soup
