Let's talk about these skillet nachos and why we love them. It's all in one pan. You know how I love One Dish meals. I devoted an entire cookbook to them. This is basically all the flavors of 7 Layer Dip...just … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Smoky Brisket & Cajun 15 Bean Soup
Oh my smoky good-gracious-ness. Please, take a spoon and reach through the screen for a bite. I picked up half a pound of brisket from a nearby BBQ joint and dropped into the slow cooker with a bag of beans and other pantry staples...and WOW-WY! This is a fantastic way to use up any leftover BBQ meat...or you could just order extra next time you go out! I love pairing … [Read more...]
Chicken and Potato “Stirfry” on the Grill
Had to sneak a grilling recipe in here! If you don't have a grilling basket, I highly recommend that you get one before grilling season 'officially' resumes in a month or two. I use my grilling basket mostly for grilling veggies, but I also use it for 'grill-fry' meals like this one! Can you really do an entire meal on the grill?! Why yes. Yes you can. This is the … [Read more...]
Sausage, Potato & Pepper Skillet Dinner
I am raising a bunch of meat and 'taters boys in this house....the proof being in the way that they polished off their sausage and potatoes. This is a meal that I turn to often...whether I make it in the skillet or a slow cooker version, we all love it! Couple notes and modifications for this recipe: Add a chopped onion. I usually do. Completely forgot to this time. … [Read more...]
Pork Chops, Red Potatoes & Apple Skillet Dinner
My boys love pork chops. I like pork chops with apple sauce. Because it just seems like the right thing to serve with pork chips. Well, here's a non-applesauce version of pork chops...using fresh apples instead. Because I'm a rebel like that. Seriously, this is some amazing food. Also, please pardon the iphone photos here. The baby ran off with my SD card for my camera … [Read more...]

Freezer Friendly Black Bean Tamale Pie
A Mexican New Year's food tradition is tamales. These are made of corn flour and are wrapped and steamed in a corn husk. They are very pretty and have a wide variety of flavors that can take you from breakfast to dinner. I enjoy tamales as long as someone else makes them. They take up a lot of space to store and cook, are challenging to reheat in large quantities, and … [Read more...]
Tex Mex Chicken Skillet
This is one that I can make and we'll polish it off. I'm raising a bunch of boys who adore Tex-Mex food and this is one of their faves. (Minus the oldest who still picks beans out of everything! As long as he is the one separating them from the rest of the meal, that's fine with me!) If you don't have leftover shredded chicken, you could also cut up some boneless skinless … [Read more...]
Sourdough Chocolate Muffins
Chocolate + Muffin in the same recipe title. OH YEAH BABY! These are perfectly moist, delicious and sweet with a simple powdered sugar topping and a side of fresh fruit. (Because the fresh fruit accompaniment means that we can have more chocolate, right? right? right?) Bake them up, dust them with a little powdered sugar, toss a couple berries onto the plate and you are … [Read more...]
