Seriously, I did. This meal is magical. I liked my plate...in front of the boys...and we all had a good laugh about it. Despite my horrible manners. But seriously, just … [Read more...]
Berry Crumble Pie
You want to know what I love about crumble pies?! Well, it's two things really.

(Which is important with this pie...because the berries can be tart!) With this Berry Crumble Pie, we … [Read more...]

This is delightful!" from my husband. And then we fought over the leftovers. It's certainly the most common thing we fight about - who gets the leftovers ;) Fighting is probably the … [Read more...]

Tex Mex Tater Tot Bake
First, good luck with this one. Two reasons. There will be fighting over the leftovers. Legit fighting. (Not that that happened at our house!) There might not be any leftovers. This does make a 9x13's worth of delicious. And with this hungry crew we had about 1 portion left for leftovers.
