{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 [...]

{$5 Dinners - Rice and Beans Budget Board} I discovered lentils when we lived in the Dominican Republic. I don’t think I’d eaten them ever in my life before moving down there. At first, I wasn’t too sure about them…as they way we cooked them while in the DR, they were still fairly bland. But I’ve since [...]

So. I’m on maternity leave. But I have a problem. I really can’t sit still. We’ve been so blessed with oodles of help and gobs of food. Which has allowed me extra time to “sit still.” But, I just don’t sit still well. Despite my best efforts. At least 12 times a day, I have [...]

So this dish I made with the intention of my husband and I eating for lunch. But it could certainly be a main dish in and of itself, or a delicious side dish with some grilled chicken or steaks. The reason I made this as a “lunch dish,” is the Brussels sprouts. My kiddos are [...]

{Repin It - $5 Dinners - Rice and Beans Budget Board} Warm and cozy. Deliciously filling. A savory winter soup, pureed to perfection… So this meal went down two ways at our dinner table…One way for my bowl, and another for Steve’s bowl. Steve wanted the dip his Parmesan-Garlic Toast in the soup, almost scooping it out. [...]

Here’s one for this year. Or next, if you’ve already got this year’s figured out. (If you’re into trying new ones!) It’s a basic stuffed french [...]

So I can’t claim this idea. It came from a friend…and I knew I had to try it out with the Hurst Beans. And boy, oh boy. It worked. And by golly, it’s delicious! So all you vegetarians out there, this one’s for you! (And anyone else who likes pot pie too!) (Beans are much [...]

I’ve been on a potato kick lately. Big, big potato kick. Totally pregnancy related. But still, a big kick. I think it’s the butter. I generally eat a low-fat diet and I sense that when baby needs to grow and needs some fat, I crave potatoes. Because my body knows that I will slather butter [...]

I think I need a support group. Specifically, a Caramelized Onions support group. I could eat caramelized onions by the spoonful. I love the way they taste. I love the way they make my house smell when they are caramelizing. And I love the way they make mashed potatoes taste better. I will be taking [...]

So I’ve had my eye on this recipe that I’d seen on Pinterest for while for CopyCat Penne Rustica from Macaroni Grill. Except I don’t like pimentos. Well, I don’t mind them, but I don’t love them either. When seeing the recipe, I’d thought that it would be delicious if I made it with red [...]
