Chopped Club: Pantry Raid

It’s time for another installment of Chopped Club! We love the Food Network show Chopped at our house, so much so that we’ve done a couple challenges of our own. This time, we decided to challenge each other with ingredients we already had in our house. It was super fun to select ingredients from our […]

Teriyaki Dijon Glazed Salmon

This is one of those “recipes” that I feel bad even calling a recipe because it’s so easy.  See, I even put it in quotations.  This is just a simple, go-to recipe for any night of the week.  It is so delicious every time. I usually use fresh salmon with this because I find it doesn’t […]

Peanut Butter Banana Surprise II

Are you still as full from Thanksgiving as I am?  I mean, we had four Thanksgiving meals in three days.  That’s gotta be some kind of record.  I don’t imagine you want to read about some big meal right now, so I figured I’d post something that’s kind of healthy and light.  This is a […]

Cheddar Rosemary Corn Muffins

I saw a recipe for Cheddar Rosemary Corn Muffins the other day, but it was from scratch…like using corn meal, which I didn’t have.  I did have a corn muffin mix, though, so I decided to wing it because the combination of cheddar and rosemary intrigued me.  You know how sometimes, you have a vision […]

Sinfully Delicious But Actually Kinda Light Chocolate Peanut Butter Trifle

If you need a dessert for Thanksgiving and someone else already has dibs on pumpkin pie, give this a try!  It’ll look beautiful on the family table…for about 30 seconds until everyone devours it. You guys know I have a serious weakness for peanut butter and chocolate.  We had our friends, Andy and Jacquie, over […]

Mar-A-Lago Turkey Burgers

It’s been a while since I posted.  Did you miss me?  As you know, we’ve been remodeling our kitchen, so that is keeping us busy, plus we were out of town for a wedding last weekend.  I apologize for neglecting you all.  As a peace offering, please accept this delicious turkey burger recipe – my […]

Restaurant Style Queso Dip Recipe

If you love Mexican food like I do, then maybe you’ve tried before to replicate the delicious white queso dip found in Mexican restaurants.  I don’t know about you, but I could eat that stuff by the vat.  But that’s besides the point.  If you’ve tried to make it at home, then you know it […]

Red and Sweet Potato Salad

We were having some family over recently to help with a house project, and I planned on cooking out for them.  It was a busy weekend, so I wanted to make sides that would be easy and make a lot of food.  Potato salad always seems to go over well, but the traditional, mayonnaise laden variety […]

Three Ingredient Crock Pot Taco Chicken

A few girls from work and I started a book club, and I volunteered to host the first meeting.  Since I love Mexican food, I decided to have a nacho bar.  In the interest of keeping things easy, I decided to cook the meat for the nacho bar in the crock pot. Incidentally, remember my […]

Red White and Blue Spinach Salad

Fourth of July is coming right up and maybe you have a cookout to go to.  This salad is a perfect addition to your holiday – festive and delicious! So, here’s what you need:  spinach, whatever other lettuce you want (I like red leaf lettuce in this), strawberries, blueberries, dried cranberries, and feta cheese.  Here, […]
