I am so excited! I finally put together a meatloaf that my family will eat! I have to tell you a secret: Before we got married I promised I would never make meatloaf. How bad am I to break a prenuptial agreement? You wanna know another secret? He liked it. Mmm hmmm. Score! Cheap healthy…
Quick Clam Chowder
I have to begin this post with a confession. I usually only post recipes here that I have tried and I like. They also need to be either really easy or really worth it if not-so-easy. I really can’t stand clam chowder. There. confession made. I’m publishing a recipe I do not like. But my…
Cream Cheese Chicken
(Totally need to get me some plates with no flowers.) What’s better than throwing some stuff in a crock pot and forgetting about it until dinner? Throwing 5 things into a crock pot (if you count water) and forgetting about it until dinner. Yes, you’ll need to cook some noodles, but it still doesn’t…
Banana & PB Rice Cake
I’m not sure I can really call this a recipe. It’s pretty self explanatory. Put some peanut butter and banana slices on a rice cake. I wanted to share it with you because it’s a fun and yummy snack. (Sure is a lot easier than trying to spread peanut butter on a banana.) Happy snacking!
Buttermilk Syrup
Don’t hate me for sharing this recipe. I know. It’s not exactly health food. But it could be worse. And yet, it could hardly be better. You really don’t even need the toast. It’s just there to hold the syrup. It’s very easy. Just Get a heavy pot (not huge, just heavy so it won’t…
Pepper Steak
Honestly, I don’t really know what “real” pepper steak is supposed to look like, or taste like, or what’s even in it. I’m guessing it’s not even close to what I’m calling Pepper Steak. But you’re nice people and I know you’ll overlook my ignorance and just make this yummy meal. Despite its amazing ability…
Apple-Cinnamon Oatmeal Smoothie
Oatmeal. It’s good for you. It’s smooth, creamy, and warm. The ultimate comfort breakfast. But sometimes I’m more in the mood for “refreshing” than “comfort”. And sometimes I’m in a hurry, or on the go. And sometimes I just want my Vitamix to earn its keep. Enter the Cinnamon-Apple Oatmeal Smoothie. Apple-Cinnamon Oatmeal Smoothie …
My Grammy’s Barbecue Sauce
You’ll never need to buy barbecue sauce again! My “Grammy Winnie” was an amazing cook, which worked out well because she and my grandfather owned sporting camps in Northern Maine. She spent her days cooking for hunters and fishermen. They lived far from any type of store, so she had to shop carefully and make…
BBQ Chicken Tortilla Pizzas
I really think I should create a recipe category called “Fun Meals”. It would consist of the meals that qualify for dinner on Friday nights. Call me weird (you wouldn’t be the first) but I think Friday night’s meal needs to be fun. No casseroles, no roasts, certainly no quiche! (very few vegetables), no utensils…
