This recipe is a spin off a chicken enchilada recipe my Mom made when we were growing up. It was such a creamy, comforting meal at the end of a school day. This is one of those meals that evokes warm, happy feelings about home and growing up. The kind of feelings that I hope…

Potluck Potatoes
These are known by so many names like Funeral Potatoes and Potato Casserole. I made them for the first time using a recipe from a cookbook that I bought from a school fundraiser years ago. I really liked knowing the recipes were local and loved that it came in a 3 ring-binder. That was especially…
Buffalo Chicken Dip
Football season is here and one of the things I love about it are the snacks and dips. Man oh man! I sure love the dips. There are so many buffalo chicken dip recipes out there and this one isn’t very different from many of those. I’ve adapted ours for our tastes over time. I…
Philly Stuffed Peppers
We haven’t made stuffed peppers for a while and I decided it would be a great way to use up some peppers hanging out in the fridge. This dish has the flavors of a philly cheese-steak sandwich without the extra carbs of the roll. We had most of the ingredients already on hand and just…
Grilled Pizza
I’ve been wanting to make pizza on the grill for a long time and now that we have a new grill – it seemed like the perfect time. My husband was on board until I started talking about it being a Thai pizza with cabbage on top with peanut sauce. Mark and the kids opted…
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…
