Chicken Enchiladas with White Sauce

These are super creamy enchiladas that are just a good warmed up the next day as they are the evening they’re prepared.  I’m kicking myself for spacing out taking pictures while I was making them but I’m thankful I remembered to do it before diving into my plate!  This recipe came typed from my Mom….

Salsa Canning Fun!

Canning season is here!  I’m excited to have found time to make salsa.  My Mother-In-Law offered to help when they were here with us to celebrate Emily’s birthday over the weekend.  It was fun getting to use the same recipe she and my sister-in-law used just the weekend before. Ingredients: 5 qts tomatoes, peeled and…

Cranberry Orange Bread

Yep!  I baked and it was delicious!  This was the same day I did the crock-pot meals and had half a package of fresh cranberries left.  I was trying to think of a fun way to use them.  This recipe from The Petite Plantation blog fit the bill. Let’s Get Crafty! Preheat oven to 350…

Tex Mex Casserole

On this particular day I was home with my family and browning up extra hamburger to freeze.  It’s still hard for me to believe that that start of school is just around the corner.  I’m trying to get a leg up on dinner preparations before school and football practices are here. On a day where…

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…

Zucchini Pizzas

This recipe sparked my interest and I’ve wanted to give it a try.  I’m glad I did.  Although… I must say… it’s not pizza.  Don’t go diving in and expecting the deliciousness only found in a carb-filled, crispy crust.  Because you might find yourself sad. However! I will say these were pretty darn good.  That…

Vail Fun at the Farmers Market

On Sundays during the summer there’s a farmers market that had more booths than I could count.  There were so many wonderful things to pick from!  From clothes and jewelry to food you eat right on the spot and food to take home.  There were several vendors with the traditional farmers market veggies and fruits…

Vail Weekend Getaway

Mark and I went to Vail this past weekend to celebrate our 5th anniversary.  We were hoping for some great food and Vail certainly didn’t disappoint.  This picture below was just before we headed up the mountain on the gondola.  You just can’t beat the views! Here are a couple pictures from our Sunday dinner…
