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
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
Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot
I was out Christmas shopping all day today with one of my favorite people on earth. My sister Amy. Who is not a shopper. Not at all. She was such a good sport today though and we both finished our lists! Yippee. We rewarded ourselves with a Mexican dinner at one of our favorite places… Continue reading Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot
Dad’s Birthday Dinner Recap
Here's a little recap of my dad's special birthday dinner. It was awesome. I loved the time with family, and that all the food came out perfectly! Here's the menu, and all the links for the items on it: Pear and Feta Salad Baked Chicken Kiev Gourmet Red "Smashed" Potatoes Banana Cream Pie
Pear and Feta Salad
The dressing on this salad is out of this world. I wanted to eat it with a spoon. It is a little sweet and a little tangy and mixes perfectly with the richness of the feta and crisp sweetness of the pears. Fabulous! I messed with the original recipe a bit because of family food… Continue reading Pear and Feta Salad
Gourmet Red “Smashed” Potatoes
When my sister Amy was little, she called mashed potatoes "smashed" potatoes. I think every kid does for a while. But, poor Amy had siblings and parents who thought it was so cute when she said it, that we told her it was correct. Adamantly we insisted that she was right and people who said… Continue reading Gourmet Red “Smashed” Potatoes
