I think the name here just speaks for itself. It really does taste like a bacon cheeseburger. In chili form. This chili will get rave reviews when you serve it for dinner, or set it out for your football watching party! I wish I could offer you a spoon for you to reach through the screen for a bite. Look for the special, no need to soak ahead of time Slow … [Read more...]

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
I made these the other day. And 2 dozen were gone in a matter of hours. We had a few extra hands around...friends from the neighborhood. Between after school snack and dessert after dinner, these were polished off before the end of the day. (Now you understand why I bake so much. It's WAY cheaper than convenience snacks!) Enjoy! Oatmeal … [Read more...]
Tomato Basil Chicken over Linguini
While I'm anxiously looking forward to cooler weather, I'm still trying to hold onto summer too. These 'transition months' between seasons, I find myself doing this every year. It's still really hot in TX and I'm longing for Pumpkin Spice Lattes (I know I could get a cold version, but it's not the same!) and bottomless pots of chili. But at the same time, I'm still craving the … [Read more...]
Freezer-Friendly Ham and Cheese Muffins
This school year is back in full force and these muffins are a great morning breakfast, after-school snack, or quick weekday dinner. I throw them together and have them on the table in around 30 minutes. The kids just eat them up. That keeps the kids happy and helps our whole family keep up with our go-go-go schedule. The recipe is versatile and the flavor is fresh, smoky, … [Read more...]
No Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies
Can I get on a soapbox for a second? Do you mind? I've been making these no-bake cookies for years. I came across a 'clean-eating' version of these cookies not too long ago and decided to give them a try. BLECH. BLECH. BLECH. I say this as someone who fully understands the effects of sugar and am a 'clean eater' for the most part, as someone who limits my sugar intake … [Read more...]
Beef & Bean Oven Nachos
Dare I admit that this is one of those meals that I would plop right onto the table and let the kids dig from the dish. (Yes, I'd let it cool a bit so the glass dish isn't hot to the touch. And yes, I'd help my younger toddler.) But I know we all have 'those' afternoons where you just want to drop dinner on the table and let the big kids dig for themselves. Well, this is … [Read more...]

Asian Ramen Noodle Salad
Okay. Let's talk about this salad really fast. I'm including it in this 31-Minutes Meals series for a few reasons. But there's a 'but.' This Asian Ramen Noodle Salad is so so so good. Not only because of the rich flavor of the homemade dressing. But because it's CHEAP. Cole slaw is cheap. Ramen is cheap. (Yes, I toss the seasoning packet. Ick.) Chicken (when bought on … [Read more...]
Ham and Cheese Corn Cakes
I think the name and the photo speak for themselves. These babies are lip smacking delicious and you've got to get them added to your meal plan. Like STAT. The ham, the cheese, the bell peppers and touch of onion...all wrapped in a cornbread base. Southern comfort right here my friend. Hope you enjoy them as much as we did! Ham and Cheese Corn Cakes Adorable … [Read more...]
