Chicken Pot Pie

Wednesday, March 16th, 2011

The first time that I had this dish was when I was in the 8th grade. We had just moved into our new house in the country and my mom had just had surgery, so I was taking care of the tasks that she couldn’t do. Our new neighbors had sons in my grade in […]

Broccoli Crunch Salad

Friday, March 4th, 2011

This recipe falls in the “oldie but goodie” category for sure! I have always loved broccoli for as long as I can remember, but when Matt and I got married he despised it. He wouldn’t go anywhere near it I tell ya! I can happily say I’ve converted him and he now likes broccoli…maybe not […]

Nana’s Crock Pot Candy

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011

My Nana is such a little sweetheart. She made these yummy treats for my kids and gave them to us one day when we stopped by for a visit. That week I had decided I was going to start eating better, and trying not to snack between meals as much. When I arrived at her […]

Lazy Man’s Cherry Cobbler

Friday, February 25th, 2011

My dad is a huge cherry dessert fan. Every time I think of him eating a cherry dessert, I am reminded of a hilarious story my mom once shared with me. She was pregnant with my big brother and had been put on bed rest due to hypertension. It was my parent’s first anniversary and […]

Fruit Pizza

Thursday, February 24th, 2011

Not many people nowadays are lucky enough to meet their great grandparents but I was. Actually, if I remember right I knew four of mine and treasured each and every second I had with them. I remember them so fondly, in such loving ways. Well this recipe reminds me of one of them…my great grandfather. […]

Crock Pot Pulled Pork

Raise your hand if you are the type of cook that likes to just throw a couple of items in a pot, turn the button to on, and walk away knowing you’ll come back to a delicious, home cooked meal? ME ME ME! Don’t get me wrong, I am one of those people that absolutely […]

Chess Squares

Friday, January 21st, 2011

Lord help me, I am rendered completely weak when it comes to resisting these little treats. I bought the ingredients to make them back during the holidays, but with all that was going on somehow I forgot to actually follow through. So when I remembered I had all the stuff I just couldn’t help but […]

French Dip Sandwiches

Friday, January 14th, 2011

Do you ever have one of those days when you are in the grocery store, standing in the middle of the aisle and unable to think of anything at all to fix for dinner? This rarely happens to me because once a week I make a menu for my family and we pretty much stick […]

Classic Fried Chicken Tenders

Monday, January 10th, 2011

As the mother of three children, I try to introduce as many different and healthy meals into my kid’s diet as possible. But no matter what I try, they’ll never like anything at all quite like they do fried chicken tenders. We don’t eat out anymore much (only once in the last two months), but […]

Cornbread Salad

If you make this get ready to eat one of the most delicious “salads” you’ve ever tasted! It’s full of flavor and yummy goodness. This […]
