I have noticed we are seeking comfort food lately. I thought it was just the time of year, wanting fully enjoy the Thanksgiving and Christmas season, with all of the favorite foods. But, then I read an article that more and more people are eating their feelings right now with election season being stressful for…

John Legend’s Mac & Cheese (with changes)
The past week or so I was seeing John Legend’s Mac & Cheese recipe from a Martha Stewart show all over the internet. I read several of the reviews, because I always want to know what people like and don’t like, and the number one complaint was that it seemed curdled. The recipe seemed super…
Week 1 Christmas Cookies: Soft Molasses Cookies
It’s finally time for me to crank up the Christmas songs and start getting ready for Christmas! I love the holiday season and try to stretch it out as long as possible. I freeze lots of cookies to take to my family when we visit and to parties. My plan this year is to write…
Slow Cooker Simple Molasses Barbecue Pulled Chicken
When I was first given this recipe I thought it was crazy. Barbecue sauce and molasses go together I get that. But adding Italian dressing to the mix? Just weird! But, somehow it all works. The chicken stays moist and the sauce is super flavorful. Verdict: They all really liked this so much. My son…
King Ranch Chicken Soup
Happy Halloween! Hope your ghosts and goblins treat you well this year and you have lots of candy leftover! King Ranch Chicken is a casserole with a slight “kick” to it. You know I love to take a dish and make it into something new so I thought this would make a great soup. Slightly…
Cheesy Macaroni and Beef Skillet
I love the meals where you cook everything in one pan. The beef and pasta cook all together so the pasta is infused with tons of flavor from the spices and beef stock. I am not a huge pasta fan but when it is cooked like this I love it! Verdict: You need to…
Hamburger Stroganoff Pizza
Halloween came very early to our house this year. I needed to have both kids ready for Halloween about a week early. My son had a Halloween concert at the end of the week. He was Buddy, the elf, from the movie Elf. Then my daughter had a Halloween Feis (rhymes with mesh, and Irish…
Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Verde Casserole
As we head into the end of the month everything feels like it is just on the edge of spinning out of control. I am busy. The kids are busy. I feel like one more thing is going to put me over the edge. But, I am still trying to make dinner as many nights…
Ground Beef and Rice Skillet Dinner
The other day we saw our first snow flakes fly. Parts of the area were without power for more than 24 hours as the storm blew through. We fortunately had power and were able to offer up our home for charging phones, showers, and a place to get and stay warm. I am grateful we…
Basic Simple Meatloaf
I don’t know why I don’t serve meatloaf more often. It is super simple to make – mix everything in a bowl and pat it into a loaf. You can make the loaves ahead of time and store in the refrigerator or freeze them until you are ready to bake it. An hour or so…
Grammie’s Chicken and Rice Casserole
Casseroles became popular in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. Women were looking for easier ways to get dinner on the table for their family each night and mixing all the ingredients together at once to bake was an easy way to accomplish this. A casserole is any mixture that is baked and…
Buffalo Chicken Nachos
This past weekend I made a large slow cooker batch of Buffalo Chicken (chicken breasts, hot sauce, butter, and garlic). I used 4-5 pounds of chicken breast so that I could make several meals out of one big pot of Buffalo Chicken. One simple meal was Buffalo Chicken over egg noodles with a sprinkle of…
