My mom’s neighbor & friend gave her this recipe.  We’re the first to admit that it sounds skeptical.  In fact, the word document of the recipe ends with “I’m skeptical….”.  But she tried it out, and it’s GOOD.  Even Zach ate it.  Which isn’t as high praise as saying Dylan ate it, but still.  That’s [...]

Everybody knows the Crock Pot of the ’70s has been reborn as the slow cooker of the ’00s, and every busy parent/cook/homemaker must have one. If you don’t, get one, or you can do this recipe in a pot on the stove as long as you don’t mind having stuff cooking on your stove for [...]

I’m participating in a blog challenge where you have to cook/bake one new recipe each week for 8 weeks, and each week has a theme.  This past week’s theme was “Holiday” favorites.  That’s open to major interpretation!  I thought about holidays and tradition, and then I came up with genius!  My family is jewish, and you [...]

I made this for a vegetarian friend who was visiting last year and it is easily one of the simplest, most delicious meat-free dishes I’ve ever had. You are literally opening packages and cans and dumping them into a saucepot, but the combination of the flavors and textures gives it more of a homemade feel.  [...]

My husband’s picky eating is not restricted to kinds of foods. It also extends to brands. For instance, the only spaghetti sauce he will be happy with (other than homemade) is Prego regular. Doesn’t matter what’s on sale or what I have a coupon for. Prego only. And Prego’s fine, but it’s a little meh [...]

I was perplexed the other night when faced with the prospect of cooking dinner for some Vegetarian friends.  We don’t do a lot of vegetarian around here.  My husband doesn’t eat many vegetables, so finding something that could please everyone made me a bit stressy.  I called out to the Twitterz and had some interesting [...]

This is a great catch-all dish. You can eat it on it’s own or use it as taco or burrito filling. It also freezes very well. Quick word of warning — it makes  A TON. When I make it for my family, I usually just use 4 chicken breasts and that is plenty (But keep [...]

This is a family favorite. I usually grill these burgers on the Weber grill. If you use propane, grill on lower heat. Warning: All ingredients in this dish are estimates! If you like bacon you will love these!
Serves 5-7
3 pounds of hamburger
6-8 slices of bacon, cooked and chopped
mayo (not miracle whip)
Shredded cheddar cheese
Favorite grill seasoning- [...]

I love all things warm and gooey with cheese, especially when they are pressed into a little hand held packages like these.

I never thought much of these until I started making them up for apps when having guests and they were a bit hit. They are actually pretty good reheated in the oven, so I like to make a bunch and keep them in the fridge for quick snacks.

When I was living at home, there was one thing that my Dad would make for dinner that would make me run home, no matter where I was or what I was doing. So, when I moved out to live with my boyfriend (now fiance), I knew that I needed to steal the recipe and [...]
