Taco Ring

This recipe is fun especially because you can pick up the crescent rolls when you happen to catch them on sale and make a quick and easy dinner.  Over the last several years I’ve seen many different recipes using this same concept… like buffalo chicken (sounds delicious!) and philly cheese steak (also haven’t tried but…

Baking Hard "Boiled" Eggs??? Yep!!

Oh.My.Goodess!  Can you say game-changer?   I watched a video on Facebook from The Kitchen show on Food Network channel.  They baked their eggs in the oven versus boiling on the stove.     I tried it – and guess what? – it worked!  And it’s ridiculously easy! Preheat the oven to 325 Using a…

Pork Fajita Tacos

I tossed this into the crockpot on a Monday morning that I knew was going to be a busy week.  It ended up being a delicious dinner that kept us happy for a few meals.  We had tacos the night we cooked it then my husband took some for lunch in burritos (I had more…

Overnight Breakfast Bake

Why do I like to make breakfast the night before after just cleaning up dinner dishes?  Because… it’s daylight savings night… people that know me know that this is a big adjustment for me twice a year. Since we are LOSING an hour overnight and getting the Monkey to Sunday School at 9 am is…

Lasagna Pasta Bake

Love the flavors of Lasagna but want to do something a little bit different?  That’s was had me wanting to make this dish.  That and I thought it would be faster than regular lasagna.  Disclaimer… it wasn’t any faster than making a traditional lasagna but it was fun to make and kids ate it up!…

My son just loves these and I love that we can make them one morning and have them ready to pop into the microwave for a couple mornings to follow. I love to mix it up with throwing in whatever veggies we have – diced peppers, mushrooms and chilis.  And oh my goodness- sprinkles of…

Lightened Up Cheeseburger Soup

Hopefully we will still have a few more cold days that will be perfect for soup days before spring officially arrives.  Soups are fun and versatile.  Of course I love the cream based soups the best… and those tend to not be the healthiest.  For this cheeseburger soup I’ve lightened it up by swapping out…

Crockpot Roast Beef Sandwiches

Today I have a super easy and super tasty recipe to share.  This could go straight into the crockpot or frozen beforehand to pull out as a freezer meal on a day you don’t want to have to come up with a dinner idea as you are walking in the door with starving kiddos. I…

Fry Sauce/Anything Sauce

I’m a lover of condiments and sauces.  I’ve been know to be more excited about the sauce of something than what the actual dish is… that trend continued when I played with a fry sauce recipe and found what’s perfect for us. 2/3 cup mayo 1/3 cup ketchup 1 tablespoon white vinegar black pepper to taste Thanks…

Stuffed Mushrooms

I love, love, love stuffed mushrooms.  There are very few appetizers that beat them like stuffed jalepenos or chips and salsa.  Mark and I like to put a lot of hot green chilis in because we’ve tried some without and the kiddos still don’t eat them… so we make it the way we like them….
