On cold days there isn’t anything quite like a warm bowl of soup. This recipe comes from reading several online and wanting to try something different than the taco soup we usually make. I added crushed tortilla chips, cheese and green onions to the top of mine because I love toppings! The green onions were…

Creamy Chicken Dip
Oh my goodness! This was so easy and so good. It would be a perfect New Years Eve dip to share with family in friends while ringing in the new year. Nothing quite says comfort food to me like cheesy nachos. Topping it with tomatoes, sliced olives and green onions really adds a layer of…
Nacho Cheese Soup
I tried this soup for the first time at my Mom and Dad’s. It’s from the Better Homes and Gardens Biggest Book of Soup and Stews. It’s a good cookbook for a lover of soup and stews. My only complaint is that I wish there were more pictures. There’s some… but not a lot. I…

Looks delicious? Absolutely. Healthy? Not so much. I followed the recipe in general and then did a little trick at the…
Shredded Beef for Tacos
Beef roasts were on sale and I wanted to mix it up with something different, since we recently had beef stew. Here’s a quick and easy crock-pot recipe that I threw together in 5 minutes. I actually very gently threw it together because Emily was taking her nap after church and needed a good one…
Beef Stew – using one of my starters!
Remember a couple weeks ago when there was a really good beef roast sale? I used one of those beef stew starters on a busy week morning. I threw everything in the Crock-Pot before we left to face the day. During my son’s football practice my daughter and I ran to the grocery store and…
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…
