Homecooked Mashed Potatoes

There’s always enough time to make home cooked mashed potatoes. And I don’t care who you are or what diet your on…they’re good eats and they should be eaten at least once a week!
My Memaw always simmered her spuds with chopped onions mixed in the pot. Mmm, mmm, that’s the way to do it too! [...]

Quick and Easy Meatloaf Muffins

These easy meatloaf muffins took less time to bake in the oven than the traditional method of baking in a loaf pan or cast iron skillet. I had a kitchen assistant to help me bring this meal together. You may notice a sweet 5 year old in the background. Maggie was very [...]

My picky eating daughter asked if we could bake muffins together. We just happen to have the ingredients for these tasty little bites. They’ve made great snacks for us and they keep getting better with each day. My daughter has eaten more than any of us. I don’t mind, they’re healthy [...]

We eat A LOT of CHEESE in my home. Most of the time I need it shredded. For a while, I bought the pre-shredded packages out of pure convenience. And just so you know, long ago, I [...]

Starbucks Espresso Truffles

WHO’S TRIED STARBUCKS CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO TRUFFLES?
My girlfriend gave me this box full of yummy goodness for my birthday.
I was scared at first, to be quite honest.
You have to know this one thing about me….I truly love espresso based drinks. Not just coffee. Coffee is completely different from espresso which is different from [...]

Creamy Spinach and Ravioli

This simple recipe was a BIG HIT with my 8 year old son! My 5 year old daughter loved it too, only without the spinach.
This recipe is very close to the Creamy Penne Pasta and Chicken dinner, except I was completely out of garlic and chicken broth. I improvised with yellow [...]

Caesar Chicken Salad

I enjoyed this salad for three days in a row! I changed up the salad dressing and shredded cheese topping each day, so I wouldn’t feel like I was eating the same ol’salad.
I used the extra Caesar Chicken fillets from the night before to make this salad filling and keep away the hunger pains [...]
