    Ten Stuffing Recipes Because Stuffing is Good

    November 19, 2018 /

    So many synonyms for good but could I think of one to put in the title? Tip-top was one. Tip-top just isn’t used enough. How was your stuffing, dear? Fine job! TIP-TOP!! This post is twofold! You will not only get ten of the best stuffing recipes you’ve ever laid your mouth on, BUT you will also learn the difference between stuffing and dressing. I know, I tackle the hard-hitting journalistic stuff. For those new to this blog, the links to the websites that hold the recipes are found by clicking on the name of the recipe in large bold letters.  My family stuffing recipe There is no link because this…

    Jalapeno Cheese Soup for When You Don’t Want to Feel The Roof of Your Mouth Anymore

    September 17, 2018 /

    So I guess it’s fall now. I am not saying I hate fall, I am just saying that I am not ready for the end of summer this week. But everyone is all excited and crap about fall. I love fall, I really do. But do you know what comes after fall? Winter. Winter comes after fall. So that is why I am not really celebrating yet. Give me a couple of Pumpkin Spice Lattes and a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Pumpkin and let me get there, m’kay? So in keeping with the whole “fall thing” going on currently, I decided to make soup. I should say that when I…

    Low-Carb/Keto Recipes that Don’t Taste Like Cardboard

    September 4, 2018 /

    I’ve been on and off of the low-carb train for the past year and a half. I originally started last year after failing yet another Weight Watchers attempt and realizing that I was actually gaining weight WHILE on WW. This should come to no surprise to those who actually know me know me or to those who’ve read this blog for more than a year. How I got started on the low carb thing shouldn’t surprise you either. One word- Pinterest. I was perusing Pinterest one night while awake with menopausal sleep disorder (it’s a thing, I am sure), and found a pin suggesting low-carb and thought about why I hadn’t…

    Avocado Toast for Losers

    January 8, 2018 /

    Losers meaning me and maybe you too if you didn’t get on the avocado toast train until recently. Did you even know there was an avocado toast train? There is. Climb aboard CHOO CHOO. I love avocado but I haven’t always loved it. In fact, I can’t remember when my love affair with avocado began but I want to say it was my mom’s recipe for spicy guacamole which is so amazing that I even risked my life* cutting jalapeno for the recipe. It was traumatic. * I can barely talk about it even today. * *burnt my corneas *it was bad *wear gloves when you cut jalapeno I will write…

    Dessert Quesadillas Because Stress

    December 18, 2017 /

    When I have a stressful week, I eat my feelings. Which works well for you because that means I will end up making a recipe and sharing it. One morning I was packing Ella’s lunch and made her sandwich on a flour tortilla instead of her usual bread to shake things up a bit. I am one wild and crazy mom. It was while I was spreading condiments (hate that word) on her tortilla that I had an idea: what if I spread peanut butter and jelly on a tortilla and fry it like a quesadilla? THAT WOULD TAKE THIS CRAP WEEK TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL. Enter dessert quesadillas.…

    My All-Time Favorite Crock Pot Recipes

    September 25, 2017 /

    I love a good crock pot recipe. When it isn’t a good slow cooker recipe. Just kidding, they’re both the same. I am blowing the minds of those of you who don’t cook now. Amiright?? There is something magical about putting all of your ingredients into a metal container, turning on a button and 6-8 hours later having a meal. A fully cooked damn meal. MAGICAL. Which is why I am here to help all you anti-cooking people out because here’s a secret that us “cooks” don’t want you to know: crockpot cooking doesn’t take any talent other than flipping a switch. There’s no sautéing, no flash freezing or blanching,…

    Take the Night Off with Easy Rotisserie Chicken Fajitas

    August 17, 2017 /

    This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, INC. and The Coca-Cola Company, all opinions are mine alone. #ServeWithACoke #Meijer #CollectiveBias   Cooking for my family can be one of my favorite parts of the day. But when we are going in different directions, especially now that back to school is in full swing, it can be stressful! Thankfully, I have a Meijer within five minutes of home and I love using them as my go-to for quick dinners. I love that I can create a meal for $7 with rotisserie chicken, and a 2-liter Coca-Cola™. Rotisserie chicken is a big favorite in our household and we could eat it…

    Dill Pickle and Ham Dip is the Best Thing Since Dill Pickle and Ham Dip

    March 14, 2017 /

    I love to eat. I think this comes as no surprise to anyone who knows me. But I LOVE appetizers. Like, I want to have a long, sordid and steamy threesome with Reuben egg rolls, guacamole, and queso. And maybe a little affair on the side with some cheese fries topped with bacon and sour cream. I’m sorry, what were we saying? Appetizers! Yes! So when I find a new recipe for appetizers, I jump all over it like an overweight middle-aged blogger on a plate full of cheese fries with bacon, sour cream, and green onions.     Remember those yummy appetizers where you would take a piece of ham, slap some…

    Bruschetta That’s Easier to Make Than it is to Pronounce

    December 27, 2016 /

    It’s pronounced BRUSKETTA. I know this because I had to Google it. There is no Wizard behind the curtain here; I have no secrets. Especially when I came up with this recipe a few weeks ago for my friend Rebecca’s birthday. I was at the Jewel (a local grocery chain) looking for “fun food” to serve for our bi-annual birthday lunch. Note- that sounded fancy didn’t it? Don’t picture pinkies up with tea and biscuits. Think mac and cheese and ranch flavored Pringles.  So I was thinking that Bruschetta sounded kind of yummy. Especially since I had never had it before. AGAIN NO WIZARD/CURTAIN.   I came up with what…
