What do you do when you are stranded at home in an ice storm? You make the most sweetest, scrumptious breakfast ever. Then you sit back and enjoy the beautiful ice hanging from the trees. When life throws you lemons, you make caramel apple French toast. I bet you think I love this French toast, … [Read more…]
Pasta dishes are our go-to Wednesday meals. I usually gravitate towards spaghetti, because it’s quick and easy. But this little meal is just as simple as making spaghetti, and the flavor is scrump-de-licious. (If my proofreading team is checking this, yes that’s a real word. Trust me.) Everyone in my family loves chicken and combined … [Read more…]
A couple of weeks ago, I went to our local bakery. I was craving pumpkin donuts. Everything I’ve seen lately was pumpkin flavored so I was sure they would have pumpkin donuts. But nope, no pumpkin donuts there. I’m telling you, I had to have some pumpkin donuts. My husband recently bought me some awesome … [Read more…]
I bought two cute little pumpkins to do a test run of pumpkin puree in the instant pot. But for some reason the oven called their name, and I switched to my old-faithful, easy, roasted version. Yes, fresh pumpkin puree is quite easy to make. You basically cut the pumpkin in half, remove the seeds along with the … [Read more…]
Tonight I didn’t have dinner planned. Although I had just went to the market and spent a fortune, it still felt like I didn’t have a thing to make. Well, at least nothing I could make fast and fill up three hungry guys and one hungry gal in a hurry. No wait…ground beef stroganoff with noodles, that’s the … [Read more…]
I jumped on the instant pot band wagon. I know, I know, I’m a little late with coming on board. But if something could promise to speed up the cooking process, provide healthy meals, redefine the one-pot meal, help to go green and on top of that be a 7 in 1 cooker, what did … [Read more…]
Easy, fast and tasty has become my new motto for meals. These days it’s so easy to turn to eating out when you’re tired or in a hurry. But I’ve found just having a few key ingredients on hand, makes dinner a cinch. If you know what to prepare, that’s half the battle. Also when you can have … [Read more…]
I had a friend who told me she never had tacos for dinner while she was growing up. Her mother always made elegant meals. You know the kind of meals I’m talking about….with the white napkins, fine china and all the silverware. While I was envious of the Mrs. Cleaver type, I look back now and realize, sometimes you … [Read more…]
The first time I was introduced to shepherd’s pie was in Disney World at the Raglan Road Iris Pub. My husband ordered it, and when it arrived it was a HUGE portion and full of rich ground lamb. (not sure if he knew that or not, but he loved it.) He’s amazed that I … [Read more…]
I’m thinking blue jeans must have been the greatest clothing invention of all time. They are down right comfortable. They can be dressed up or down. I live in blue jeans! Blah, blah, blah, enough ranting about fashion (if that’s what you call it). Let me tell you why I think ground beef was the … [Read more…]
