Rosemary and Mustard Chicken
We don’t often go to Safeway. On a recent trip where we wanted to get home and just went to the closest grocery store… we had a great find! There was a meat special that included 4 packages of meat for $20. These thinly sliced chicken breasts were were part of the special. I came…
2 Beef Freezer Meal Starter Kits
Safeway had a pretty good sale on beef roasts over the weekend and I decided to buy 3 of them (3.5-4.5 lbs each) to cut up for stew for our dinner and use what was left for a few freezer meals. Turns out there was enough to make 5 freezer meals and our dinner that…

Cajun Shrimp
I’m a sucker for a rich, creamy tomato sauce that has simmered away and reduced. It needs to be the kind of sauce that proves to be the perfect match for toasted garlic bread. This broth did all of that for me and the kids loved it too. Let’s Get Crafty! 1 cup each, diced:…
Mac and Cheese Stuffed Peppers
The inspiration for this dish came from the March 2017 Rachael Ray magazine (pg 31.) The recipe caught my attention because mac and cheese type of casseroles are fun way to sneak extra veggies in during meals and serving it in a bell pepper is brilliant! Let’s Get Crafty! Preheat the oven to 350 I…
Beef Burritos with Enchilada Sauce
Here’s a great recipe from a friend of mine that she shared on Facebook and I just had to give it a try! We actually made it the day after I read it but it takes me a little while to get things pulled together to put in on the blog. This recipe is definitely…
