    Almost Homemade Stuffing / Dressed Up Dressing

    Confession: I’ve never made stuffing before until I threw this together. Confession 2: I was not sure if it would be fit to serve to humans or if it would be the dog’s supper. Confession 3: It was really good and I’d make it again, so I’m sharing with you. If you need a…

  • Granny’s Apple Dumplings

    Granny’s Apple Dumplings

    This dish takes me right back to my childhood! These apple dumplings were my favorite dessert that my Granny Austin would make. For some reason I’ve let the idea of peeling and coring apples keep me from cooking with them. No more! I got a super duper easy to use apple peeler/corer (linked here)…

    This is one of my favorite dishes – pure comfort food in a skillet! It comes together so fast and can be dressed up or down. Eat it by itself for a hearty, weeknight meal or pair it with a salad and garlic bread for a dinner party. Any way you dish it up,…

    This is the perfect seafood soul food! We enjoy it in the winter, but it would be a hit year round. You can use fresh or frozen (thawed) shrimp. Hope you enjoy!

    Sweet Potato Nachos

    I’ve been trying to find more ways to get sweet potatoes into our regular rotation of meals – and HELLO HONEY – this is it! The entire family loved them and I’ll be making for many an upcoming “Taco Tuesday.” I do realize it’s not a taco and I also realize it would be…

  • Hamburger Helper

    Hamburger Helper

    Last night I needed to make something quick for supper with one pound of hamburger. (The miracle being I had thought to thaw it out, even though I had no idea what I was going to do with it.) It’s been many years since I’ve bought an actual box of Hamburger Helper, and to…

  • Low Carb Big Mac Burger Salad Bowl

    Low Carb Big Mac Burger Salad Bowl

    This has quickly become a staple at our house since I started making it a few months ago. It’s quick, easy and refreshing. I’ve found it makes the perfect summer meal that doesn’t require heating up the kitchen any longer than browning the beef and it’s an ideal way to use fresh garden tomatoes.…
