So grateful for a stocked freezer when coming home from a trip. I grabbed some ground meat, cooked black and pinto beans, and set to work in the kitchen. After thawing it all, I browned the ground meat, then added the beans and some BBQ sauce. So. So. Simple. I also had some drop biscuits [...]
(Sorry about the funny photos this week…I posted them from our desktop and it does weird things to them?!) Here’s what I love about this recipe. You can make a ton of the “filling” and use it so many different ways! The recipe for the filling that I will post below will easily stretch into [...]
For a while now, I’ve been toying with the idea of putting myself on a Gluten Free diet. No real reason really. Just want to see if I feel any different when eliminating gluten. And here is a recipe that will be on the menu when (if ever) I decide to make that leap. Ingredients [...]
See that corn up there?!? The “summer price” of $.25/ear is here a bit early this year! I couldn’t help myself and snagged a few for this week. The boys L-O-V-E corn and I love watching them munch it off the corn. It’s sorta cute! This *might* just become my new “go-to” meal. It’s way [...]

When it looks like THIS outside… …and every tree is sight is covered with frost and snow… …it’s SO WONDERFUL to be able to pull out some of these… …delicious green peppers, straight from the garden, rather the freezer! But straight from the garden into the freezer… …and remember that spring is coming. But not [...]
While I was stocking up the freezer, I cooked a few whole chickens in the slow cooker. One of those times, I combined some of the shredded chicken with a can of Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies, some frozen corn, black beans and ground cumin. Mix. And Freeze. Thaw. And Warm. So simple…I love [...]
