Jalapeno Muffin Cups

Here’s an oldie but goodie.  I used to make these for Mark a lot when we were just married.  The original recipe comes from Pillsbury and uses they Pillsbury Grands Jr Golden Layers. These tasty bites are quick, easy and hard to resist.  On this particular day – I was able to throw them together…

Eggroll in a Bowl

Wow!  I haven’t posted in almost 3 weeks!  Don’t worry!  We’ve still been eating! 😀   Right out of the gate – I want to share a recipe I’ve been wanting to try for a while.  I honestly kept postponing it because I knew it wouldn’t be a household favorite.  I took the plunge and made…

Chicken Nacho Casserole

So here’s the deal.  I’m going to give it to you straight.  I wanted to make the Chicken Doritos Casserole.  It’s Ah-Maz-Ing.  But… I was missing several ingredients (one of which was Doritos) and I didn’t want to go to the store. Let’s Get Crafty! Preheat oven to 375 Warm in a saucepan until the…

Ham and Beans – Slow Cooker or Instant Pot

I LOVE ham and beans.  The recipe is so easy that I wasn’t going to post it.  I took pictures to send to my Grandma Jean because pairing it with cornbread will always make me think of her making it for us while growing up.  So many of my best memories growing up were at…

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…

Philly Cheese Steak Egg Rolls

This idea came from two things in the fridge that we needed to use.  Egg roll wrappers and roast beef deli meat.  In the past I made some of those fabulous philly cheese steak stuffed peppers so this was a twist on that idea. Let’s Get Crafty! Preheat the oven to 425 Let’s get those…

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…

Texas Ranch Chicken Casserole

This is an oldie but goodie from the Six Sisters’ Stuff blog.  This recipe was made on a night where we were running behind and kept running into obstacles getting dinner on the table.  This recipe is pretty close to theirs with some small adjustments. Emily and I went to the grocery store after work…

Beef Stew Hot from the Oven

I usually make beef stew in the Crock-Pot and wanted to make it using a Crock-Pot cast iron dutch oven that my husband got me for Mother’s Day.  I’ve actually been wanting to try this for a while and was excited to have a Sunday afternoon at home to do it. Every good stew needs…

Chicken, Avocado and Lime Soup

This is my first time using our Instant Pot to make dinner!  The original recipe comes from The Defined Dish blog.  A friend shared the link with me and it sounded delicious- so I had to give it a try.  As I always tend to do, I’ve done some switching up of the recipe ingredients…
