I’ve seen several recipes for these on Pinterest, and even though they looked good, I resisted initially because it called for a couple of ingredients I didn’t have. Well one of my friends at work has made them several times now, and I tasted hers one day and they were so good. So I decided […]

Lighter Lasagna Soup
It has been so cold here lately, I think I have saved at least a dozen soup recipes. I love soup this time of year. I saw a couple of recipes for lasagna soup and it just sounded so good to me. Since I’ve been pregnant, I’ve been craving foods with tomatoes or tomato sauce, […]
Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese with Caramelized Onions
It’s no secret that we love grilled cheese here at our house. But, I never make straight up grilled cheese with American cheese on white bread. Ever. I always mix it up with different breads, usually something really grainy with great texture, various cheeses, and other yummy fillings. This time, I went a pretty hearty […]
Savory Apple Bacon Sweet Potatoes
It’s hard to believe Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away! Surely I’m not the only one who has started thinking about what I’m going to take to our family get-togethers. I’ve mentioned before how much I love sweet potatoes. Don’t get me wrong – I love the sweet, buttery, brown sugary, pecan topped sweet […]

Glorious Guacamole – homemade guacamole recipe
I would like to take this opportunity to formally and publicly declare my love for guacamole. When I go to a Mexican restaurant, what I order has to meet certain requirements, and containing guacamole is one of them. It’s so creamy and delicious and really easy to make, too, so if you’ve never done it, […]
Easy Weeknight Dinner: Pesto Pasta with Spinach, Asparagus, and Cherry Tomatoes
I saw a recipe on Rachael Ray not that long ago that immediately made me think, “I should make that. It sounds really delicious and would be very easy.” Actually, Dr. Travis Stork from the TV show The Doctors was Rachael’s guest and it was his recipe, which they were touting as very healthy. It’s […]
Crock Pot Pulled Pork
Of all things barbecue, I’d have to say pulled pork is my absolute favorite. I especially love it on nachos at Busch stadium during a Cardinals game. Pulled pork is actually really, really easy to make and the crock pot is the perfect method of cooking. Since it cooks low and slow all day, it […]
Turkey, Feta, and Spinach Scramble
The other day I woke up and decided I wanted to make a skillet scramble for breakfast, so I opened the fridge to see what it had to offer. I saw some of the things we frequently have on hand that were nearing their end game. So I figured, why not throw them into my […]
