I've made pork tenderloin several different ways in the past. I've marinated it, put it in the slow cooker, charred it good in a pan with some hot oil - the usual suspects. Yesterday I was feeling a little lazy. If you've never cooked one, you might think a roast is a super fancy meal… Continue reading Herbed Pork Tenderloin with Oven Roasted Potatoes

Baked Chicken Nuggets
My kids love "Old MacDonalds" chicken nuggets. Truth be told, so do I. It was generally cheeseburger Happy Meals for me as a kid because 5 kids times the extra money to splurge for the nugget meal for each of us made McDonald's not such a great deal for my parents. I never lost that… Continue reading Baked Chicken Nuggets
Chicken Noodle Soup Casserole
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
It's Taco Tuesday! I have died and gone to over-eating heaven. Seriously. Dinner tonight was quite possibly the most delicious food I've had all year. Possibly in the past 5 years. 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
Curried Chicken Crostinis
I first made these a few years ago for my sister-in-law's baby shower. The were a huge hit, but somehow the recipe got buried in my mass of kitchen paper and was forgotten until I was searching for tea sandwich ideas. Voila! Perfect! The curry is very subtle, even folks who claim not to like… Continue reading Curried Chicken Crostinis
Italian Cucumber Crostinis
I first enjoyed these little appetizers at my cousin Shannon's house. Crostinis are perfect for a tea time delight because they fit neatly on a small plate and require no utensils. These are quick and delicious. Certainly not your mother's cucumber tea sandwich. I mixed the cream cheese and seasoning packet together and let it… Continue reading Italian Cucumber Crostinis
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
