Frog Eye Salad

My oldest niece graduated from high school over the weekend and she asked me to make frog eye salad.  I remember loving this salad when I was growing up. My Grandma Jean introduced me to this dessert.  She made it for us one weekend when we went to visit when they lived up in Conifer. …

Hamburger Sammies

This recipe is a twist on one I posted not that long ago.  (For the ham version – take a look back at my January 10, 2018 post.)  This change-up was inspired by my son who really likes the ham ones but we didn’t have any ham on hand.  Adding the green chiles to the…

Instant Pot Egg Bites

Good Morning!  For all my Instant Pot friends… we are in love with Egg Bites.  My husband got me the mold for Christmas and we’ve been making them once or twice each week.  They are great because they take just a couple minutes to get in the Egg Bite Pods and then they need no…

Cheesy Biscuits

This recipe idea comes from the Cincy Shopper blog.  Her recipe is called Easy Garlic and Herb Pull-Apart Loaf.  My take on it below changed it to cheesy and garlicy without the extra herbs. We had some canned biscuits on hand and needed a side for the soup we were having for dinner.  These biscuits…

Cranberry Cake

This cranberry cake is melt in your mouth good.  There’s enough sugar to balance out the tartness of the fresh cranberries without being too sweet.  It’s truly so good that you don’t even need or want frosting.  Once baked – there is a glaze that forms on the top.  Ah-Maz-Ing! This year was the first…

One Pot Sausage and Pasta

Well… it could be one pot.  But I was trying to bust it out faster and sometimes having the veggies cook with the turkey sausage takes longer… So tonight this was a two pot meal. Let’s Get Crafty! Saute together until softened: 1 tablespoon butter 1 onion, diced (I used half of an onion because…

French Toast Casserole

Here’s a fun recipe to jump start the holiday season for a morning where you want to sit and enjoy sipping your coffee and playing with the kids while breakfast is baking away in the oven. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.  I love that it’s all about food with family and friends.  I must admit…

Instant Pot Chicken and Dumplings

My Mom made chicken and dumplings when we were kids.  It’s such a comforting, hearty dish to me.  It was one of my older brother’s favorites, so he would often pick it as his birthday dinner.  This is one of those meals that I can make and know my kids will eat it up.  Veggies…
