    Sausage and Rice Stuffed Peppers

    November 11, 2015 - By 

    I don’t know about you, but I occasionally get a serious hankering for stuffed peppers. Lately I’ve been wanting to try something a little different. I found a recipe by Martha Stewart and I while I’m not a huge fan of hers, I decided to give it a try with a few alterations. This turned out so good. I like cutting the peppers down so that you don’t have as much pepper to eat in one sitting. Servings: 4-6 Prep Time: 20 minutes Cooking Time: 30 minutes Ingredients: 3 1/2 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil 1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings…

    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. Servings: 4 Prep Time: 5 minutes Cooking Time: 25 minutes Ingredients: 1 1/2 lb. ground beef 1 1/2 cups uncooked white rice 1 can of chopped tomatoes and green chilies 1 can black beans (drain and rinse) 1 large onion, diced 1/4…

    Red Beans And Rice With Andouille Sausage {Crockpot}

    May 23, 2015 - By 

    I was happy to find this recipe, because I’ve been craving Red Beans and Rice for awhile. While I love Zatarain’s, eating stuff out of box just isn’t healthy. You know, it’s hello, SODIUM! This recipe offered a more authentic taste, like what you get in New Orleans with much less sodium. Servings: 6 Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 3-6 hours Ingredients: 1 lb. Cajun style Andouille sausages, diced 2 (15 oz.) cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed 1 (14 1/2 oz.) can diced tomatoes (with onions and green peppers) 1/2 cup chopped green pepper 1 cup of uncooked…

    Jalapeno Popper Chicken Casserole

    April 7, 2015 - By 

    My family loves the Poppy Seed Chicken recipe that I make and I’ve been trying to think of a spin off of that. I decided that Jalapeno Popper Chicken Casserole could be made similarly. I love both of these recipes because they are both great make-ahead/freeze-ahead meals. Servings: 8 Prep Time: 15 minutes Cooking Time: 25 minutes Ingredients: Mixture 2 lbs. boneless chicken breast; cooked and finely chopped, shredded or chopped to bite sized 1 (4 oz.) can of jalapenos or 2-3 fresh jalapenos (cleaned, de-veined, and diced) 1/2 cup diced onion 1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened 1/2…

    When Rob was in the hospital a few years ago, my neighbor was so sweet and brought us the best dinner. It was this amazing Poppy Seed Chicken casserole. I finally decided to make it myself and it has become one of my favorite dishes. It’s great to make ahead for those potluck dinners or a freeze ahead meal for those busy week nights. Looking for an easy dish to make ahead? Make this Poppy Seed Chicken for that busy weeknight ahead.

    Sweet & Sour Pork

    August 19, 2014 - By 

    As a huge fan of sweet and sour entrés at most Chinese style restaurant chains usually, this one caught my attention while I was looking for new recipes the other day. I wanted to give it a try, because it’s very different from my normal meals. I’m not always a fan of pre-made sauces, but I wanted something easy that didn’t need a ton of different ingredients just for the sauce. I was happy with the way it turned out. Servings: 4 Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 25 minutes
