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,…

We’re back in the kitchen! Today we’re making a quick and easy (and very tasty) Cowboy Casserole. Evidently cowboys are partial to tater tots. Who knew? Such a good dish to add to your weeknight rotation. Enjoy! xx, m

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!

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…

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…

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.…

We can be friends now, though.) Anyhoo, enter me trying…

In an ode to nostalgic food from my childhood, I’ve decided to start cooking things I loved then and haven’t made since eating them around my mom or Granny’s kitchen table, starting with this amended King Ranch Chicken recipe – thus the name Bernard Ranch Chicken. Sometimes things just come to me and sometimes…

My son wanted German Chocolate cake for his birthday and while I’ve never made one, I knew just the person to teach me. It felt like my Granny was in the kitchen with my daughter and I as we followed her hand-written instructions. I’m fairly certain she got a few laughs up in Heaven,…

I’m not a big casserole person, but sometimes a good casserole just fits the bill. I knew this year I wanted something easy, yummy and filling for Christmas morning – that didn’t require me spending an hour in the kitchen in-between the fury of kids unwrapping presents and going to feed livestock. I knew…
