Creamy Creole Shrimp and Pasta
With proper planning and a little prep work, Creamy Creole Shrimp and Pasta is a pretty simple dinner to pull off. My sweet friend, Cheryl, emailed this recipe to me and said it was one of her family's all time favorite dinners. I changed it up just a bit to match what I had on hand. At first, I worried the kiddos would find it too spicy, so I chose a can of MILD diced tomatoes with green chilies... More...

Campers Casserole is simple to bring together and I could totally imagine it being cooked in a dutch-oven over a campfire. Since I was home, I used my trusty casserole dish. You may want to salt & pepper this dish to your taste. My husband and son enjoyed this dinner with ketchup on top. It was very filling and I enjoyed trying this new recipe. But I'll be honest, it needed an extra... More...

I introduced this layered casserole to my family last night. It was a simple casserole recipe to bring together. And I liked that it called for everyday pantry items. Once out of the oven, the aroma of beef, tomatoes and potato reminded us of meatloaf. We all had the natural urge to squeeze a little ketchup over our plates. My 9-year old son and husband went back for seconds, if that means anything... More...

My first attempt at grilling a chicken with a beer can in its butt. Uh, fun? Slightly challenging. Most definitely delicious. But I don't think the beer had anything to do with it. This qualifies as a Simple Daily Recipe because there was barely anything to do. I wanted it to be a little more than it was, but it just turned out to be plain ol'simple. HERE'S ALL IT TOOK 1 (3 1/2 to 4 pound)... More...

"This is a SIMPLE SOUP, completely dependent on the quality of the broth." That's what the cookbook says and I couldn't agree more. I followed the recipe, but then again, I didn't follow it. The original recipe called for canned ingredients. I had to take the home cooked approach. For you, I'll write the original recipe, THEN I'll tell you what I did. You pick the one that fits your needs... More...

I kept aside half of the mild sauce for the sensitive folks in my family. That's just the way I have to roll. HERE'S HOW EASY THIS IS 6 tablespoons olive oil 1 medium onion, finely chopped 1 stalk celery, finely... More...

This soup is SPICY. I do not recommend it for the sensitive folks out there. This one's for the heat lovers that like to sweat while they eat. I found this recipe delicious! I can't help wonder how it would taste if I used poblano peppers instead of jalapenos. HERE'S ALL IT TAKES 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 5 fresh jalapenos, stemmed and seeded 3/4 cup finely chopped onion 3 garlic cloves,... More...
