Freezer-Friendly Cottage Pie

December 25, 2014 By Beth Cranford Leave a Comment

Freezer-Friendly-Cottage Pie: A comforting and easy meal that can be made gluten free.

Healthy comfort food? I still remember one night (many years ago) that I served this for dinner. I didn’t think for a minute that I was serving comfort. I just thought I was serving dinner. But when we finished dinner, my husband, who had apparently had a somewhat stressful day, said “That was such a…

Slow Cooker (no peel) Mashed Potatoes

November 17, 2014 By Beth Cranford 6 Comments

Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes

  Mashed potatoes. One of America’s favorite comfort foods. The problem is, if you’re in the mood for comfort food, you’re probably not in the mood to peel a bunch of potatoes and do all that other tedious stuff it takes to make an amazing batch of mashed potatoes. This could really be a problem….

Sausage With Potatoes & Grilled Onion

August 13, 2014 By Beth Cranford 5 Comments

Sausage With Potatoes & Grilled Onion; Simple to make and satisfying to eat!

So, I’m not going to win any prizes for unique recipe names, am I? Or short recipe names! Fortunately, the only thing boring or complicated about this meal is the name.  (How ironic, can you have something that’s boring and complicated at the same time? Hmmm… I’m thinking about chemistry, the stock market, how an…

Chicken Fajita Salad

May 6, 2014 By Beth Cranford 4 Comments

Fajita Salad-Quick, easy, and healthy!

Delicious like a fajita but just different enough to be a whole new party! (And when you have lettuce but not tortillas, it’s a perfect fix!) If you’re going gluten-free, this is a great way to have familiar foods but not the gluten.   It’s pretty much a fajita on a bed of lettuce. Start…

Spanish Chicken with Rice

February 24, 2014 By Beth Cranford Leave a Comment

Spanish Chicken & Rice; Delicious and easy to make. Great week-night dinner.

Chicken? Again? Yes. Chicken again. But trust me, this chicken dish is different. It’s a mix of flavors you probably don’t get on a regular basis. Give it a try, I think you’ll like it. My family loves it, even my sort- of picky daughter. If you’re making the whole meal (the rice and the…

Crock Pot Sweet Potatoes

February 21, 2014 By Beth Cranford 3 Comments

So moist and you don't have to remember to cook the potatoes an hour before dinner!

I know. This is hardly a recipe. It’s more like a process, if you can even call it that. I promise, I’ll give you something more exciting next time. But then again, not having to remember to pop the potatoes in the oven (or get home in time to do so) can be pretty exciting…

Fish with Mango Salsa and Couscous

February 15, 2014 By Beth Cranford 2 Comments

Fish with Mango Salsa

Today I’m sharing the only fish recipe that I like. I’m working on finding more  though. I know fish is good for me–if I buy the right kind, which is another conversation for another time. Here’s how I get a little bit more fish into my diet. The mango salsa is delicious and this meal…

Coconut Dream Smoothie

February 11, 2014 By Beth Cranford 3 Comments

Coconut Dream Smoothie

I’ve been craving this smoothie for weeks. I knew I wanted something creamy and comforting with just a touch of coconut. I saw a recipe similar to this, except without the peaches. I don’t actually love coconut when it’s the prominent flavor, or pineapple, for that matter. But they both make wonderful “back flavors”. I…

Nach-Yo Mamma’s Chicken Soup

February 6, 2014 By Beth Cranford 3 Comments

Nach-yo Mamma's Chicken Soup

This is my husband’s favorite soup. It’s very easy to make and can be done either on the stove or in the crock pot. I took lots of pics but I don’t want you to think that it’s complicated so I’ve compiled them into one fun little collage. It takes only a few minutes to…
