Red Wine and Garlic Mushrooms
I tried a new mushroom side dish now that we’re back to Sunday Steak Nights. These mushrooms are really simple to whip up. I was out of fresh garlic so I had to use some dried minced garlic, but it still did the trick and the mushrooms really took on the flavor of the...
Mini Garlic Monkey Breads
I loved these little bundles of joy. I misread the original recipe and only used 1 can of biscuits and I was worried they would be overpowered with the flavors, but actually we really liked it. So use 1 can or 2 you’ll love how easy these little individual breads bake...
Glazed Chicken and Szechuan Noodle Salad
I made this dish at the end of my pregnancy and I couldn’t eat the noodles it gave me such bad heartburn! The dish is really good though and now I can’t wait to remake it. I think the thing that made it really spicy was that I could only find spicy Szechuan sauce at...
Rice Krispie Treat Pancakes with Marshmallow Butter
This isn’t a normal breakfast for us, but I like the idea of something different and fun for a change in our weekend breakfast routine. You don’t want to eat a bunch of these, but they are pretty tasty. The Marshmallow Butter is rich, but it’s oh so yummy! So go ahead...
Chicken and Cornmeal Dumplings
Ok this week, I’m starting to get back in the swing of things slowly by posting twice a week until I can work up three post a week. I’ve had so many people bring us food for having the baby that I’m just now starting to have to cook again. I originally made this dish...
Skinny Strawberry Chocolate Chip Muffins
I found these muffins on Pinterest and couldn’t wait to try them. I was a little disappointed. They where ok, but stuck to the wrapper really bad. I like the idea that they are a little more healthy, but sometimes it doesn’t mean it’s better. Skinny Strawberry...
Garlic Cheese Bread
Last week I posted the lasagna we had from Pioneer Woman, this week is the garlic cheese bread, which was really good. We didn’t sprinkle the parsley on top, instead we used a little cayenne. I would make this again, except maybe add some diced jalapenos in with it....
Lasagna
We’ve been spoiled since having the baby that my mom has been cooking for us. I don’t have my usual step by step pictures on all the stuff she’s making, but at least you get an idea of the finished look. The only changes she made was using half of the amount of meat,...
Newest Addition…
I want to introduce the newest member of our family, Travis. He arrived a little earlier then we expected (Feb 22, 2013 instead of March 5th), but he’s a blessing we have been waiting for. We had a rough start with me having high blood pressure at the end of my...
Cranberry Bread
My mom had made these mini loaves for Christmas and I just fell in love with the flavor. They are fantastic with a cup of coffee or tea in the morning for breakfast or even as dessert. I will be making these in my gift baskets next year for sure. They also freeze...
Venison Cheesesteak
I was using up some of the meat we have in the freezer and since I love Jon Bonnell’s recipes and cheesesteaks I thought this would be a good one to try. We both loved it and I would make it again for sure. Venison Cheesesteak (Adapted from Jon Bonnell’s Texas...
