So I might be the last one on the planet to do it this way… In the past, I’ve seasoned hamburger patties on the grill…while they were grilling. And while it works, it wasn’t going to work for me last weekend when we were having a bunch of family over for dinner. I wanted to [...]

Summer is upon us. (Maybe, I did see a ton of sweater and coat comments in my FB feed over the weekend from my friends up north.) One of the things that I love about summer is the fresh produce, farmer’s market and being able to get great prices on fruits and veggies throughout the [...]

This Recipe is being reposted from 2011. I had plans to share a grilled chicken sandwich tonight, but when I was taking the photos, the card wasn’t in my camera. Doh! I’ll remake soon and share later. So for now… There was a lot of buzz at the start of 2011 about “your word for [...]
I love a nice tender steak topped with crumbled blue cheese. That got me thinking about how to make a recipe to get close to that flavor yet enjoyable for the kids and used what I had on hand. By the time I got it in the oven, I was really craving that meaty [...]
Monday morning and you’ve got a case of the “Mandays. Well, not anymore… It’s no secret that I like easy. I don’t just like easy, I need easy. I NEED easy. I NEED EASY RECIPES. Sorry, didn’t mean to get so carried away there…it’s just that I really need easy recipes. The witching hour at [...]
Finely chopped mushrooms mixed into your next batch of meatballs. Seriously. You’ve GOT to try it. Adore the flavor that the mushrooms add to the meatballs…and these mushroom-meatballs are perfect on a sub with a side of chips and fruit. (And…the boys had no idea. Not that I was trying to sneak the mushrooms in. [...]
So I have a new item on my stockpile list: crushed pineapple. That way, I can make this any time I want. Because I will be making it often. Being a food blogger, I’m always trying out new recipes and mix-n-match concepts with the food that I have on hand and what’s on sale at [...]
My family loves corned beef and cabbage, so I take advantage of the sales on both items at this time of year. I buy extra corned beef when it goes on sale, so we can enjoy it over the next couple of months rather than just on St. Patrick’s Day. When I make Corned Beef [...]
{Pin It to your favorite recipes board!} I’m not sure what took me so long to figure these out. I recently chatted with my friend in OH who made the “Polynesian Buffet” for us (now, years ago…where does the time go!). After our chat, I was remembering that dinner and decided that we needed to do [...]

Thanks so much to Kristi from Mom’s Confessions for sharing this great recipe with us. I’m still on “leave,” enjoying my time with new baby and settling into life as a family of 6. I’m so grateful for the help and support of my fellow bloggers during this time! ~Erin With cold weather months upon [...]
