  • Sweet Potato Nachos

    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.

  • Too Good to Be True Beef & Cabbage Recipe

    Too Good to Be True Beef & Cabbage Recipe

    Confession…I was 45 years old before I started cooking cabbage.

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

  • Bernard Ranch Chicken

    Bernard Ranch Chicken

    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…

  • Breakfast Sausage Casserole

    Breakfast Sausage Casserole

    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…

  • Easy Instant Pot Beef & Noodles

    Easy Instant Pot Beef & Noodles

    Nothing says comfort on a cold day like a warm bowl of beef and noodles. This is the perfect weeknight meal to make in a pinch with an instant pot or add to crockpot in the early afternoon and have ready for supper. I tend to run out of ideas for what to do…

  • Easy Clam Chowder

    Easy Clam Chowder

    Nothing beats a hot bowl of this on a cold night…

    Tacos in any form are never wrong, including soup…
