This recipe is easy, delicious, and budget friendly!! What more can you ask for? On those nights when you don’t have time to make a big dinner this is a recipe for you. This is also a great make a head freezer meal. My friend Michelle also uses it for OAMC (One a Month Cooking) It’s also very adaptable because you could add chicken, beef, beans... you name it. I love...

I love grilled cheese. To me it is a catchall meal. When I am running short on time, it makes a great lunch, or dinner. When I am running low on food in the house, and I don’t want to run to the store I can always enjoy a great grilled cheese...assuming we have cheese and bread. It also makes a great side to a nice bowl of soup. I like to try new variations of your classic...

To my surprise this was a pretty good recipe. I didn’t have high hopes for it. I was in a hurry, and I tried to hurry it along. My mistake was I used Basmati rice verses using regular white or brown rice. The Basmati got sticky, and turned into glue. That was a mistake on my part, not the recipes. This recipe went well with my Korean Barbeque Fried Chicken recipe. Ingredients 1...

This recipe started as Korean Fried Chicken, and headed a completely new direction because I purchased the Korean barbeque sauce, not gojujang, which is a Korean chili paste. I blame it on my blond-ness. Any-who, I decided to follow the recipe exactly as written, but use the barbeque sauce in place of the gojujang. I was too far into the recipe to turn back. Heck, what...

I love fruit salad! We ending up trying this recipe for a side dish on the fourth of July. This is one of my favorite recipes now. The flavor of the pudding adds a nice sweetness that you might not be getting from all the fruit. It also seems to help meld the fruit all together. I am just going to list what I put in my salad, but in truth the important part is the pudding....

I am not the biggest fan of Cracker Barrel. Why you might ask? I just don't think that it's anything special. For the most part everything they make I can make myself, as well, if not better. Therefore, it’s just not a place I frequent anymore. When you live in a city the size I do, with the amount of restaurants we have, Cracker Barrel isn’t high on the list. We have one...

I love purple hull peas. To say they are a childhood memory would not be giving it enough credit. Shelling purple hull peas will always be a memory of time spent with my Dad. He was the king huller. A country Dad will always instill his instincts in his big city country girl. Good times and an amazing recipe. I found this recipe on the purple hull festival website (Who...

This recipe is one of my favorites. It’s truly comfort food for me, and it will always remind me of my Dad. He was a great Cajun cook. It’s hot and hearty. It's important to note that the chicken broth can make or break this recipe. Only use tastie chicken broth. Yummy! Ingredients: 1/2 cup margarine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 3 stalks celery, chopped 1 medium onion,...

I was  not sold on this recipe. I loved how easy it was  to put together and it cooked quickly. You really have to watch it even on low to make sure it doesn't burn. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the sauce. It was very bland to me.  The only thing I could taste was the tomato sauce. To me that overwhelmed the recipe. Also I don't think the recipe requires enough...

I have never been much of a pork chop cook because I didn’t really know how to cook them. This recipe turned out excellent, and it was really easy to make. Just remember that 24 hours prior to cooking your Pork Chops soak your chops in a meat brine. The brine will give the meat flavor, and will also make it so tender. Master Brine Recipe for MeatsIngredients3 cloves garlic,...
This is such a quick and easy way to make corn on the cob. We had this with our Fourth of July dinner. I was able to toss it in the microwave and have it ready just in time for dinner. I was very impressed with the flavor, how easy it was too cook, and the overall simplicity of the whole process. It’s tender, juicy, and flavorful. Who needs butter when you can cook it like...

I don’t even know where to start with this recipe other than the fact that I am in LOVE! This was my first experience eating and making Israeli couscous. At least in my neck of the woods finding Israeli couscous is next to impossible at any regular grocery store. We have a Middle Eastern grocery store that I go to all the time, not only are their prices cheaper, but you can...

This is a simple recipe that comes out like fried french fries, but with less fat, and less work. I really like how simple it is, and the flavor is great too. To my surprise, the fries came out nice and crunchy, but fluffy inside. I was a little afraid of how the parmesan cheese would taste on the fries. I thought the cheese would be overwhelming, but to be honest you don’t...
