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.

Caesar Chicken Dinner
One of my favorite salad dressing makers is Briannas Homestyle dressings. I keep several different flavors on my fridge door. Well, the other day, I was staring down at four skinless boneless chicken boobs considering what I was going to do with them. I’ve read recipes that call for slabbing Ranch or Italian [...]

Baked Ham
Baked hams are not just for special occasions. Of course, it seems we can always get them at a better price around the holidays.
I love a good sale, one that makes me want to stock up. Oooo, the word “Clearance” really makes me stop what I’m doing. Have you ever been in [...]

Gouda Cheese & Macaroni
A simple, easy recipe that makes the perfect comfort meal.
This meal was inspired by two very fun bloggers I happen to admire, Chef John at FoodWishes.com and Mimi at 1700 Miles of Cooking. Cheese sauces are a challenge for me. I haven’t perfected the balance of a creamy texture that tastes light. [...]
