If I had to choose, if I absolutely had to, I think beef stroganoff would be my favorite meal. But please don’t make me choose. That would be cruel. Normally when I make beef stroganoff I make the same recipe that my mom always made when I was growing up. But this...
Hi there! Remember me? I used to post recipes around here? Ha 🙂 Life’s been a bit hectic in the last few weeks and our dinners have consisted of tried and true, quick favorites, so posting, as you may have noticed, has been sparse. I’m happy to say that we...
It was once said that ‘necessity is the mother of invention’ and this dish is the embodiment of that. A few nights ago I was home with a hungry child and a hungry husband (and who are we kidding, yours truely was ravenous too) and the dinner hour was rapidly...
When I was in high school I worked as a hostess at a local restaurant that was “famous” for it’s broccoli cheddar soup. One of my jobs was to fill to-go orders. Fine and dandy, right? Well, sure. Until it got super-busy and I was filling, and because it’s me we’re...

A few months ago Brian and I got an eighth of a cow and we’re now down to the last of the last of the meat in the freezer. I asked Brian to grab something out of the freezer for me to make for dinner last weekend and he brought...
We’ve decided around our house that we need to start eating more vegetables. We have so few meat-free dinners, and veggie-centric dinners that we make on a regular basis and I decided to finally start to remedy that. I’ve never tried eggplant before but I’ve been curious for a while...
As much as I love to cook, its sometimes nice when Brian takes over the cooking for the evening. Even better, when he makes some as fantastic as this chili! I love finding great crockpot and freezer-friendly recipes. This is also one of those foods that gets even better after...
