Lasagna Soup
I love Pinterest and I have so many pins I’ve been trying to dwindle down and actually start trying a lot of the recipes I pin. I figure you couldn’t go wrong with a Paula Deen recipe, but I did. This looked good and smelled good up until the noodles where cooking and...
Orange Chicken with Asparagus
I love dishes that add a little fresh fruit to them. For this dish I got to use an orange from my parents that they grow in their back yard. The only thing I think I would do differently is maybe cook the sauce with a little cornstarch to thicken it then toss the...
Two Potato Bisque
I’m not 100% sure what I did wrong on this dish, but it totally doesn’t look like the original: We thought it was ok, nothing that I really wanna remake anytime soon, especially since I don’t know what I did wrong. The only thing I can think of is maybe the recipe...
Chicken Paprikas with Nokedli
My grandmother’s side of the family is Hungarian so I wanted to try a dish that was part of my heritage. I had a little trouble with the nokedli, which came out like globs of pasta, but otherwise it was a good dish. I’m not a fan of cooking the chicken with the bone...
Seared Scallops with Apple Cider-Balsamic Glaze
My favorite seafood item would have to be scallops. I love the delicate flavor of them and that they take on any flavor you throw at it. For this recipe I decided to grill them over making them in the cast iron skillet like the recipe says. The bacon really added a...
Roasted Mushroom Medley
Tonight we have our last step in getting ready for baby Travis to arrive. We’re taking an infant care class. It’s more so hubby feels more comfortable since he’s not around that many babies, but it’s supposed to be a fantastic class from what I hear. Anyway, since...
Roasted Balsamic Sweet Potatoes
We’ve been on a little of a sweet potato kick trying new variations since coming home from our NC trip in the Fall. I loved the way these came out and how simple they are to prep ahead of time. Roasted Balsamic Sweet Potatoes (Adapted from Rufus’...
Apple Walnut Salad with Maple Dijon Dressing
I think once you start making your own salad dressing you really don’t wanna go back to store bought ones again. We really liked this salad, the only thing I would change is to maybe toast the walnuts a little. Also I doubled the dressing in the pictures so we would...
Chicken Piccata
I have to say this is probably one of the easiest recipes ever. My mom made this when she was last in town as a test for when she comes back when we have the baby (1 more month to go eek). It literally took less then 15 minutes to come together and tasted really good...
Sweet Ham and Swiss Sliders
While we where up at the lake for one last week before baby comes, I tried a quick and easy lunch instead of our usual casseroles. These are pretty tasty and would be great for your super bowl party this weekend. I loved you can make them in advance and pop them in...
Linzer Heart Cookies and Giveaway
Valentine's Day is right around the corner, have you started planning what you’re going to do for your sweetie? Thank goodness for the fine folks over at Tate’s Bake Shop sharing their recipe for Linzer Heart Cookies. I’ll be making these for my hubby. I love that...
Jalapeno Kettle Chip Crusted Chicken with Jalapeno Ranch
I’ve seen a lot of dishes where people coat meat in cereal or chips, but I just never really tried it. I was surprised the coating was nice and crisp and the chicken was nice and moist. It passed the hubby test and he requested I make it again so I guess it’s a win...
