Chicken noodle soup has to be one of the great comfort foods on the planet. When I'm sick, it makes me feel way better. Even if it's all in my head, somehow the steamy broth and flavors of chicken, noodles and veggies help me turn the corner towards wellness. The problem is, when I'm not… Continue reading Chicken Noodle Soup Casserole

Pizza! Pizza!
As part of my (and my hubby's) new budget, we've cut eating out from our life for a couple of months in order to try to pay down a big chunk of our car loan. As a result, I don't get to go have my favorite pizza at The Rock, and I've been craving it… Continue reading Pizza! Pizza!
Chicken Florentine Casserole
I had just put this casserole in the oven when my husband walked in the door from work today. The first words out of his mouth were "Man, something sure smells good!". I responded with "It could be the bacon, or the sautéed mushrooms, spinach and onions. Or possibly the Parmesan cheese cream sauce." It… Continue reading Chicken Florentine Casserole
Cabbage Rolls
Apparently corned beef/cabbage last Thursday and the slaw with my pulled pork didn't give me enough of a cabbage fix already this week. I guess when the stuff goes on sale around St. Patrick's Day, I want to make the most of it. I used up most of a head of this smelly veggie tonight… Continue reading Cabbage Rolls
Crispy Cheese Pulled Pork Tacos with Sesame Slaw

I cannot remember the last meal I enjoyed more than what I shared with my family tonight. My daughter declared "Mommy, this is so… Continue reading Crispy Cheese Pulled Pork Tacos with Sesame Slaw
BBQ Sauce
This is just a simple and quick recipe for BBQ Sauce. There are much more complex recipes out there, but since I use this whenever I'm basting things for a long time (like in a crock pot), I don't bother with a lot of fuss. BBQ Sauce 1/2 cup ketchup 2 tablespoons brown sugar 2… Continue reading BBQ Sauce
Split Pea Soup
My mom has made split pea soup as long as I can remember. The giant pot simmering away on the stove would waft deliciousness all day. Is there a better smell than ham cooking? When I got a hankering for her amazing soup and called for her recipe, I got the bad news. There is… Continue reading Split Pea Soup
Perfect Dinner Rolls
I love love love my new bread machine. It's so easy to just throw all the ingredients in, turn it on and have beautiful dough. The recipe for these rolls is pretty time-consuming - only because you have to allow it to rise three times. You don't really have to do anything with the dough… Continue reading Perfect Dinner Rolls
Mom’s Potatoes
I look forward to these potatoes every time my mom has a brunch. They are amazingly rich. They equally amazingly bad for you. But I don't care. I love them. Now you can too. I actually was so excited to dig into these when I made them recently that I forgot to take a photo.… Continue reading Mom’s Potatoes
