    Chicken Pot Pie

    August 7, 2018 - By 

    School starts tomorrow, so again on my the hunt for some easy, make ahead comfort foods. Frozen Chicken Pot Pie was one of my favorites growing up.

    One-Pot Southwest Skillet Beef & Rice

    October 14, 2015 - By 

    If you haven’t figured it out by now, I love Mexican food of all kinds. Mexican, Baja, Southwest, Santa Fe…I adore it all! This Southwest Skillet Beef & Rice is a meal I’ve made for years, but I decided to try it as a one-pot meal. I was so glad I did. So easy and just as delicious.

    One-Pot Tamale Pie

    August 6, 2015 - By 

    I am constantly on the lookout for new Mexican dishes. I found this recipe for Tamale Pie and knew I had to try it. I decided to adapt it a bit and make into a One-Pot Tamale Pie. This recipe brought me back to the days when my Granddad would crack open a can of tamales, throw them in a pan, and heat them up. Yes, that wasn’t the healthiest of meals, but regardless its a memory and a flavor that I cherish. I’ve never tried making tamales on my own, which would be better for you than from a…

    Italian Chili {Crockpot}

    August 5, 2015 - By 

    I know it’s been awhile since I’ve posted a recipe. That doesn’t mean haven’t been cooking. In fact, I have such a long list of recipes that I’ve made that I wasn’t even sure where to start. Posting this Italian Chili seemed like a good choice, because with kids starting back to school tomorrow I’m frazzled and when I put dinner in the crockpot that’s once less thing to worry about after work! Who doesn’t love that? Servings: 6-8 Prep Time: 20 minutes Cooking Time: 6 hours Ingredients: 1 lb. ground beef 1/2 lb. Italian sausage 1 can (28 oz.)…

    One-Pot Cowboy Chili with Cornbread

    May 14, 2015 - By 

    Lately I’ve really been thinking about one-pot meals. Who doesn’t love making dinner and just dirtying one, single pot or pan? I know I do. This One-Pot Cowboy Chili is quite simple and with a house full of guys I need lots of food. This meal is one that has them pushing back from the dinner table full and happy. What more could you ask for! Servings: 6-8 Prep Time: 15 minutes Cooking Time: 30 minutes Ingredients: Chili: 2 lbs. ground beef 1 medium onion, diced 1 tbs. garlic 1/3 cup of Chili Powder 1 can of Black, pinto, or…

    Taco Soup {Crockpot}

    April 18, 2015 - By 

    I am always trying to figure out easy Mexican dishes, as well as meals that can be made quickly or in the crockpot. This recipe fits the bill for all 3 of those requests. I make this in the crockpot, but you could easily put this in a pot and cook on medium-high for 30 minutes or so and it would be just as good. Servings: 6 Prep Time: 15 minutes Cooking Time: 4 hours Ingredients: 2 pounds ground beef, browned 1/2 cup taco seasoning 1-1/2 cups beef broth or water 1 can chili beans, drained and rinsed 1 can…

    LIFE Happenings Here’s my weekly posts to catch you up. Week 23 Week 24 Week 25 Week 26 Loving my air fryer again. I feel like when you get small appliances like an air fryer, you go through phases of using it. It gets put away and you just kind of forget about it. I started using again for pork chops and that has just rejuvenated my love for it. Happy that I’m finally seeing some fruiting from the garden. Excited to get some stuff accomplished (haircut, eye appointment) Reminiscing about Drew’s graduation trip in 2016. Such a epic trip…

    Spicy Southwest Chicken Soup

    February 15, 2024 - By 

    I’ve been making this recipe for awhile now and it is one of my favorites. I’ve been doing the ‘low carb’ thing pretty consistently for about a year and half now. One of my secrets is having meals/snacks ready. One of my go-to meals is soup. I love soup and its easy to make a big batch and heat up for lunch or whenever I get hungry. This Spicy Southwest Chicken Soup can be prepared on the stove top, in the crock pot, or even the instant pot. Servings: 8-10 Prep Time: 30 minutes Cooking Time: 2 hours Ingredients: 2…

    Memories, Dreams, and Reflections 2021

    December 31, 2021 - By 

    So I did this post back in 2011 and I also did it last year! I love writing posts like this at the end of each year. It gives me the opportunity to go through and think about the last year. I got the idea from Ashley’s blog, which is no longer updated. See the bottom of the post for the ‘rules.’ 1. Me! A work selfie 2. I Love You This is a picture from Easter with the peeps that I love so much. 3. Still Laughing… Kayleigh got a barcode on her back which was kind of funny.…

    Jalapeno Poppers – Repurposed Leftovers

    October 23, 2020 - By 

    Hey guys, I’m here with the follow up recipe for you to use up that Jalapeno Popper Dip if you didn’t finish it off. I know sometimes when I bring a dish to a potluck and there is so much food. A lot of times many of the same type dish shows up and your dish doesn’t get gone like you thought it would. Or if you’re family doesn’t dive into the dip because it’s just not their thing. However, if you’re like me you still want to make the dip because you just love it. That was me earlier…

    St. Simons Island Trip – Part 1

    July 21, 2020 - By 

    Saturday Earlier this summer we were itching for a change of scenery and decided to take a week off and go on a vacation. With Drew starting classes right before the 4th of July, we determined that the week before that would be good. This ended up being Drew’s graduation trip. No, it’s not NYC, but it was better than nothing! We got up early Saturday morning and headed over to St. Simons Island, Georgia. We stopped in Dawson, GA at Mark’s Melon Patch (8580 Albany Highway Dawson, Georgia 39842) for some peaches. I enjoyed their Sunflowers and Zinnias so…

    Loving Life During Quarantine

    June 11, 2020 - By 

    The other day I was thinking back through the last 11 weeks of ‘quarantine’ and all of the good that has come from this. Yes, there has been ups and down and scary times and unknown future for so many, I can’t dwell in the negative. My headspace needs to hover in positivity as much as possible. I believe it’s been. I have found so many blessings from having this time to slow down and just be. To enjoy family and enjoy doing these we don’t often take time to do. I want to remember this time so I’m sharing…

    Pizza Topped Pasta

    January 17, 2018 - By 

    You know I was thinking the other day when I was cooking some pasta about back when I was growing up. If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile you probably know, or you may not know, that my Dad’s parents raised me. Now my Granddad absolutely hung the moon for me. I was a Granddad’s girl for sure. I loved so many things about Granddad. One thing was that he enjoyed cooking and he was pretty darn good at it. However, Grandmother did not relish the act of cooking and probably for that very reason, wasn’t very good at…

    West Coast Trip:Day 10 Oregon Coast

    May 26, 2017 - By 

    Day 10 was all about the Oregon Coast. We started off with a lumberjack breakfast at Camp 18 Restaurant. This place is a must see. Every time Rob and I drive up the coast we stop and get pictures outside, our friends who usually follow behind on their motorcycles love to take videos of the landscape we pass by, but they do have to be careful because one of them almost fell of their motorcycle trying to get the perfect scenery shot, that day would have ended up either in a hospital or talking all night with their motorcycle accident…

    October 6, 2015 - By 

    One of my favorite dishes that my Granddad made growing up is Frito Pie. I mean how can you turn down seasoned ground beef, cheese, and Fritos! This is one of those meals I also used to help Granddad make. This is a great meal to prepare with your kids, because it’s easy to prepare and it’s one everyone will love. Servings: 3-4 people Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 15 minutes Ingredients: 2-3 cups of Fritos 3 cups of Mexican shredded cheese 1 lb. of hamburger meat 1 small chopped onion 1 can of Texas style chili beans 2…

    It’s about that time to pull out all those Irish meals to enjoy on St. Patrick’s Day. One of my all time favorites over the last few years has been Shepherd’s Pie.
