These are some recipes that I’ve made lately that are way better for you than what I would have typically eaten a few months ago.  I got pretty lazy about taking care of myself, and it shows.  I’m getting back on track, and it’s for a host of reasons.  If I’m going to be completely [...]

This recipe is a family favorite.  I’ve been making Chicken Dorito Casserole since I was a very young child.  I specifically remember hand grating the cheese from a big block of cheddar. I love this dish fresh out of the oven or even as leftovers.  We don’t usually have much left over, but I’m kind [...]

I was inspired by pictures of White Chili I’ve seen here and there on the net since cooler weather has arrived.  I’ve looked at recipe after recipe to see if I could find one that would suit my craving.  They all had “chili” flavors such a cumin, and that’s just not exactly the flavor I [...]

I think everyone has their own version of this soup, and really, I rarely make it the same way twice.  I would say the below recipe is typically what it is like. I love that the hardest part of this soup is opening the cans or maybe draining the grease off the meat! When I [...]

Last week at the grocery store, I got a great deal on barbecue sauce and ground beef, so I just knew I was going to make sloppy joes. You may be confused by the barbecue sauce, or maybe you’re like me, and that’s the way you’ve always had them.  I’m always a little thrown off [...]

These are a quick and delicious way to eat meatloaf!  Cooking them in a muffin tin drastically cuts down on the cooking time, plus you get a nice crusty exterior on each one.  Plus, cooking them in the muffin tin makes ready-made servings! Instead of chopping veggies, I use a chunky salsa or picante sauce [...]

I had a bag of spinach in the fridge that I knew I needed to use soon.  I didn’t want it to go bad before I could think of a dish to make with it!  We can’t be having that! I finally decided to go the salad route instead of cooking it.  Last night I [...]

These are my favorite biscuits.  They’re buttery, cheesy, quick to make, and quicker to disappear. When they’re warm, they melt in your mouth.  Then you sigh, and take another bite…and another…until they’re all gone.  Then you look at your platter and wonder where all your biscuits went.  Oh, right. Yesterday we had them for breakfast. [...]

This dish came about from me experimenting in the kitchen.  I like Sweet and Sour Chicken that you’d get from a Chinese restaurant, but I prefer when the chicken isn’t breaded and fried (Shocker – a Southerner preferring something NOT fried.) So I went into this experiment with the vision of chicken coated in my [...]

Sometimes, I have a craving. Sometimes, I can’t figure out exactly what my craving is. Does anyone else have that problem?  I know I want something, but I’m not exactly sure what it is.  That’s usually when I start combining ideas to satisfy the craving. A picture of lasagna roll ups has been floating around, [...]
