Fresh Purple Hull Peas are hard to come by around these parts. If you ever run across someone who grows them, I highly suggest that you get chummy with them.

Pineapple and Pork Stir Fry

This dinner is so quick to cook up, I can’t believe I don’t make it more often.
Naturally, my kids go for the pork, pineapple and rice and completely steer clear of the onions, mushrooms and red bell pepper. Oh well, it’s all good to the grown ups and everyone is happy to have something [...]

Kid Comfort Foods

My little man, Max, was feeling low the other day. When I asked him what he wanted Momma to fix for him he said, “I want that red soup from the can, goldfish crackers and a hot cheese sandwich.”

King Ranch Chicken Casserole

This is the MOTHER of all recipes ever posted on Simple Daily Recipes.
Anyone who’s been around here long enough, knows I don’t cook meals that call for too many steps. In fact, I’m pretty sure the only other extensive recipe I’ve ever posted was Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas.
