Who doesn’t love a nice big bowl of homemade potato soup? I personally love it, but I don’t usually make it very often because the recipe I’ve been using for years, while extremely delicious, is kind of tedious and not exactly figure friendly. It involves baking potatoes, letting them cool, peeling them, cutting them, and […]
I first posted this recipe several months back, and it has been one of my more popular recipes. It’s for good reason – this is a dish that is really easy to throw together and is mouth-wateringly delicious. With the holidays coming up, I thought I’d repost it because it would be perfect if you […]
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 […]
We were having some family over recently to help with a house project, and I planned on cooking out for them. It was a busy weekend, so I wanted to make sides that would be easy and make a lot of food. Potato salad always seems to go over well, but the traditional, mayonnaise laden variety […]
Hold on to your socks, ladies… They’re about to be blown off! That’s right, you have a guest chef in your presence. I am, humbly and proudly, the husband of Cara, and she has humored me by letting me share with you one of my chefly secrets (to be honest, this recipe, as with most […]
Everyone has those recipes that are great for potlucks, and you use them time and time again. This is that recipe for me, and every time I take it somewhere new, people ask for the recipe. I mean, who doesn’t love cheesy potatoes? This recipe has an added bonus in that you put everything in […]
Garlic. Cheddar. Smashed Potatoes. Everything about that sounds delicious, right? I know, I love garlic and cheddar cheese too! Smashed potatoes are a really easy side dish that I’ve made over and over again, and honestly, I probably haven’t made them the same way twice. I threw together these easy redskin smashed potatoes with garlic […]
It’s officially grilling season! Officially declared by me, that is. We only have a charcoal grill at our house, so if we are going to grill something, it takes a decent time commitment. That’s why if we’re going to go through the trouble to get the grill ready, I usually want to cook as much […]
On weekends, Tim and I like to put together different variations of skillet scrambles using different meats, veggies, and cheeses. They are so quick and easy, made all in one pan, and you can make them millions of different ways. Tim loves eggs, so he’d eat them any which way. I decided to put something […]
As an adult, I have really grown to love sweet potatoes. I would not even eat them as a kid, but now it seems like I can’t get enough. Plus, they’re a superfood – they’re full of fiber, complex carbohydrates, protein,vitamins A and C, iron, and calcium. Between the delicious sweet and savory taste and the health benefits, what’s not […]
