One of my favorite hobbies is to go to a restaurant, find a meal I LOVE, and then come home and play around with the ingredients until I can get my meal to taste just like the restaurant..or, even better! One of my all-time favorite meals at Outback Steakhouse is their Alice Spring Chicken. The…
I found this recipe for Ham & Potato Soup online a while back, got great reviews and I had to try it! It’s so simple and really good! We love having this with breadsticks and salad! You need 3 1/2 cups diced, peeled potatoes, 1/3 cup celery, 1/3 cup finely chopped onion (I hate onions,…
I must be on a tortellini kick lately, since my last recipe used it also. Hey it was in the freezer! Anywho, I LOVE making soups and now that it’s fall you will be seeing quite a few from me. I like making this one because it’s tasty and you dump and cook. Easy peasy….
*This post is for Roberta- Thanks! Ok ladies. I have spent hours going from recipe website to recipe website, scrutinizing, cooking, reading and drooling over all of the recipes! (Im dieting too, so you really better appreciate it!) I never realized there are sooo many great websites for food and recipes out there! Awesome! Here…
* Family Night is a designated night, once a week, where you sit down with your family…have a lesson, an activity, and a treat. It’s a great way to spend time together as a family and teach your children about the important things they don’t learn in school. * I put together this lesson on…
When I go out to eat, I try to eat somewhat sensibly and usually end up ordering a salad. Come to find out, the salad I ordered has as many or more calories than my hubby’s steak, fries, and salad with extra dressing! Grrr! We go to Chili’s quite often and their Quesadilla Explosion Salad…
I love making this meal because it’s easy, hearty, cheap, kid friendly and manly. Here are your ingredients: Cheese tortellini, spaghetti sauce and 1 pkg of Jimmy Dean sausage. (you could also use ground beef, chicken, ground turkey- whatever floats your boat.) First, brown the sausage. Remove icky grease. Cook the tortellini according to package…
Enter our GIVEAWAY here! The number one reason I decide to just order a pizza is because I don’t feel like making the meat. Can you relate? I don’t love touching the slimy, wet, raw meat…cutting out the arteries and veins…and then cooking it too. I dread it. So, lately I’ve been thinking ahead. I’ll…
Here is the best ice cream recipe that has been in my family for years. When we go to my grandparents over the Fourth of July we make homemade ice cream, and we churn it by hand. It’s just that much better because we worked hard for it. It’s tradition, and brings back great childhood…
So, this Chocolate Toffee Trifle is one of those desserts that is so insanely easy but when you bring it in the room…mouths drop. People think you went “all out” and “spent soooo much time” making this fancy schmancy trifle…but, you didn’t. Nope, after the cakes bake…it literally takes 10 minutes to put it together….
My Favorite Kitchen Gadgets: My family eats a lot of rice, so the Pampered Chef Rice Cooker Plus is one of my favorite kitchen helps! You just pour the rice and the water in, put the lid on and pop it in the microwave for perfect rice! It’s dishwasher safe also! $25 is well worth…
Sometimes life just gets in the way and you need to throw together a 10 minute meal. I’m all for fresh, homemade ingredients…but sometimes it just isn’t realistic, so a big “thanks” to canned chili and Rhodes Rolls for those times when we just don’t want to spend the time. . So, Navajo Tacos is…
