Spaghetti Squash Stuffed with Mushrooms and Spinach
I’ve been really loving playing with different recipes using spaghetti squash. This one was pretty tasty. I had to improvise from the recipe my sister-in-law shared with me because we didn’t have artichokes on hand but we had some peppers and mushrooms that I was excited to use up. This could easily be made a…
Elk Tenderloin wrapped in Green Chile and Bacon

Cheeseburger Muffins
My Mom gave me a fun muffin pan cookbook for my birthday called Super-Quick Muffin Tin Meals written by Melanie LaDue. This was the first recipe we tried and I followed the recipe pretty true… well as close to true as I can do. 🙂 It was a huge hit! Let’s just say there weren’t a…

Chicken Pot Pie
Chicken pot pie is one of those comforting go-to meals that’s perfect for when you want to make sure the kiddos eat good. I really like taking help from the store on this one and using crescent rolls for the top. Not using a pie crust really lightens this meal up- especially because the crescent…
Beef Enchiladas
Remember the honey lemon enchiladas? Well… these happened a couple days after. 🙂 I decided to make my own red enchilada sauce. It was very good! We used half in this recipe and then froze half to have on hand for another enchilada night. Let’s Get Crafty! 1 medium onion, diced as fine as…
Honey Lemon Chicken Enchiladas
This house is a big fan of Mexican food and we have enchiladas on the regular. I saw this recipe flipping through an old Quick and Light magazine from Taste of Home. (I try to reference where I get initial recipes from when it’s from one specific place… but the directions and ingredients won’t completely…
