I’m always on the lookout for new casserole recipes, and this one is fantastic. It combines the flavors of a loaded baked potato with chicken to make it perfect as a main dish. While it takes a little while to bake, the prep work is simple and straightforward. This is definitely a dish that will […]
Deviled Eggs
Easter is just around the corner, and it seems one of the most popular side dishes for Easter dinner is deviled eggs. Now it may seem odd to serve something with the word devil in the name on the day we celebrate the risen Jesus, but the term comes from the addition of spices, such […]
Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken
This dish is ideal for those busy Christmas shopping days. Put this on in the morning and come back to dinner! There are so many ways to serve this chicken. Try putting it in flour burritos, placing them in a pan, sprinkling with cheese and broiling until the cheese is melted. Then serve with shredded […]
Sweet Potato Casserole
This has become one of my most requested recipes, so I will share it again before this Thanksgiving. As Thanksgiving approaches, I would like to share one of my favorite holiday recipes. Many family traditions seem to center around food, and mine are no different. One dish I remember during the holidays when I was […]
Saucy Hot Ham and Cheese Sliders
I’ve eaten these sliders before, but never made them myself until this weekend. My daughter was attending the end of season soccer party, and I needed a good finger food for the girls. This recipe was perfect! I came home with an empty pan, which meant they loved them. This will definitely be my go-to […]
Encore: Pumpkin Bread with Streusel Filling
Fall is my favorite time of year for food. Dishes made with apples, pumpkin, sweet potatoes and flavored with cinnamon and vanilla simply make me smile. Add some whipped cream, ice cream or marshmallows and it only gets better. Here is one of my favorite pumpkin dishes. Enjoy it plain or add the streusel filling […]
Cheesy Chicken Tortilla Soup
The weather is beginning to get cooler, and when thinking about food, that means one thing to me. Soup! This past week I pulled out my go-to chicken tortilla soup recipe. Of course, like most any recipe I tend to make, I changed a couple things based on what I had on hand, and it […]
Overnight Slow Cooker Oatmeal
Oatmeal is one of my favorite breakfasts. It doesn’t have to be cold outside for me to enjoy a big, steaming bowl of it. And it’s amazingly wonderful to wake up to it ready to eat in the slow cooker. It may seem like a lot of liquid in this recipe for the amount of […]
Chocolate Chip Muffins
My daughter has had several sleepovers lately, and I’m always trying to decide what to feed the girls in the morning. My go to recipe has become chocolate chip muffins. I know, I know, they’re more like dessert than breakfast, but we don’t have them very often so I consider it an okay splurge. And […]
Shrimp Po’ Boys
Recently, I was looking at a friend’s news feed on Facebook when she visited New Orleans. Oh, how I love the food of that city! The beignets, red beans and rice, and bread pudding with rum sauce are enough to keep me happy for a long time. Throw in some shrimp po’ boys and my […]
Cheeseburger Cauliflower Casserole
As a family, we have been trying to reduce the amount of carbohydrates we eat for some time now. We love cauliflower, which is a low carb veggie, so any new dish I can make that incorporates it is a winner. This recipe is similar to a cheeseburger macaroni casserole, but replaces the macaroni with […]
Zucchini Bread
Zucchini is one of my favorite summer vegetables. It is abundant in many home gardens this time of year. It tastes great raw, cut into strips and dipped in ranch dressing. It’s fabulous sliced into rounds, breaded and fried to a crisp, golden brown. But it’s not just for savory dishes – it’s also an […]
Loaded Mashed Cauliflower
For a while now, my family has been trying to reduce the amount of carbohydrates we eat. One of our favorite low carb veggies is cauliflower. We eat it raw, in salads, roasted, riced and mashed. This recipe for mashed cauliflower is made even more delicious by adding cheddar cheese and bacon. Ingredients: 1 head […]
Chocolate Marshmallow Pie
I remember the first time my mother made this pie. I was mesmerized while watching her fold the whipped cream into the smooth chocolate mixture. And when I finally got to taste the finished pie, it was as good as I imagined it would be. This pie is simple to make with few ingredients, and […]
Roasted Carrots
Oven roasting has become my favorite way to cook vegetables, especially carrots. The char the carrots get from roasting brings out the natural sweetness in them, making them incredibly delicious. You can keep the seasonings simple, like my recipe with salt and pepper, or you can change it up to fit the other dishes you […]
Crybabies
I have absolutely no idea where the name for this cookie comes from – maybe because you’ll cry like a baby when they’re all gone, but you want more. Whatever the reason, they were one of my favorite cookies growing up. The molasses gives a rich flavor and soft texture to the cookie, and the […]
