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 Barbecue Beef
Just because you don’t have much time to be in the kitchen, doesn’t mean you can’t have delicious, restaurant- quality meal! Slow Cooker Barbecue Beef is one of my favorite go-to meals when I need something easy but fabulous. It also makes a great meal to bring to a friend in need. I promise, I…
Enchilada Quesadillas
May I confess something to you? Sometimes I’m jealous of my husband. You see, sometimes at work he gets to go out for a nice lunch. Usually while I sit home and eat peanut butter sandwiches or leftover spaghetti. (Which I do not like leftover.) But I haven’t told him that I’m jealous, because jealousy…
The Best Homemade Pizza on the Planet
It’s Friday, and that usually means homemade pizza in our house. (Unless it means Nachos, but it usually means pizza.) I’ve been anxious to share my pizza recipe with you. It’s special to me because, well, there’s the obvious part about it being the best homemade pizza on the planet, and more importantly (is there…
Sausage With Potatoes & Grilled Onion
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…
Beef with Broccoli
I’ve been wanting to include Beef with Broccoli in my Seasonal Meal Plans for a long time now, but I’ve been having a hard time finding a recipe that I really like. Enter my friend Kim. I asked, (on Facebook) she answered, and sent me this recipe. Thanks Kim! I love it! As long as you…
Chicken Fajita Salad
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…
Wheat-Free Salmon Patties
Wheat-free salmon patties, sweet potatoes baked in the crock pot, and broccoli with a touch of cheese. Now that’s a healthy meal that is simple to make and delicious! Sign me up! I’m implementing a new strategy in my house. I’ve realized that I’m more in the cooking frame of mind toward the beginning…
Spanish Chicken with Rice
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…
Fish with Mango Salsa and Couscous
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…
