meatballs are on the menu…
Are you fan of meatballs? I AM, but just recently started making my own. Never needed to… I am a huge fan of meatballs and I became a fan of meatballs because my MeeMaw (look how cute she is) would make them. She would always have some in her deep freeze. She would whip them out for a quick pasta dinner or for her meatballs and gravy. In college I attempted one time to make meatballs, but they were nothing like my MeeMaw’s, and I never made them again until now. The rolling begins… When I decided it was time to attempt meatballs once again I went searching for my MeeMaw’s recipe. After…

Easy Peasy Sauce
DO you have big family dinners in your family? We try too and our family dinners are so much more fun now that we have my nephew and niece …they both love to eat and are sure to provide a show of some sort making it fun always. A family tradition… One thing we always try to make family dinner is easy and this sauce is perfect for any family dinner. Growing up mom would usually make something kinda special. A favorite casserole (like this one) or her almost famous fettuccine alfredo, or chili when it was cool outside. Whatever it was you knew it was going to be good.…

no oven space needed for this ham
Easter is this weekend and that means it is time to start planning the menu and trust me this ham is a must have for your Easter get together. I don’t know about your family but Easter always mean ham to us. We used to buy it from that Honey Baked place and it was crusted with this delicious sweet crust and as delicious, but also expensive so this Easter I decided to try to fix one myself. No oven needed There are tons of ways to fix a ham. Some recipes call for maple syrup, some for pineapple slices, or pineapple juice, while other just have a spice rub…for me I…

Amped-Up Grilled Cheese
I don’t know about you but a good grilled cheese can make any day a GREAT day! When you add in short ribs it can make it AMAZING making your day CRAZY AMAZING!! A long time coming… Ever since I was a little girl I have loved grilled cheeses. There is just something so good about the crispy buttery bread with ooey gooey cheese in the middle. Then you add in other yummies it making it even better. My first memory of a grilled cheese is that of my dad (look how cute he is) fixing it with one of those plastic wrapped cheese slices (it was a long time…

low, slow & grilled short ribs
My slow cooker is one of my favorite cooking tools all year long but especially in the spring and summer. And now these short ribs are one of my favorite things to fix in it! Short Ribs? So I am a HUGE fan of short ribs. I love how tender they are while being full of flavor and texture. And don’t even get me started on the gravy that is left after they have been cooking for a while. It really is true perfection. For this recipe I used the boneless short ribs. Honestly it wasn’t on purpose, but when I picked the package up I just a assumed they had…

Chicken Spaghetti…from scratch!!
Chicken spaghetti has been a favorite of mine for many, many years. Ever since one of my oldest friends, Bonnie, made it for me. Back then we used canned everything (including canned chicken) and processed anything we could find, and it was SOOOOO good. Remaking a favorite As much as I love this classic I decided Iw anted to remake it…all from scratch. OK I know from scratch can sound kinda scary but don’t worry this from scratch recipe is super easy. To add in a ton of flavor and a little color I start with red, orange or yellow bell peppers. Most of the time I will use 1…

The high today in the Houston Area is 84. I cannot believe it as I sit here and write it, it is going to be in the mid 80’s in February. Gotta love Texas weather. Even though it is starting to warm up a little The Hubby and I are still is soup mode and this soup definately hits the spot. Not your mama’s chicken soup Don’t get me wrong I am all about my mama’s chicken soup. It is delicious, but sometimes I like to change it up a bit and this Chicken Fajita Soup is one of my favorites. This soup brings together all my favorites from traditional…

dill has a new friend
Salmon is a go to dinner for The Hubby and I. We always have some in the freezer. Quick tip, we buy in bulk on sale and cut into serving size portions. It is quick to thaw and quick to fix, my kind of weeknight dinner. A fan or not…. Dill is one of those herbs that people love or hate it seems. Me I am a big fan, The Hubby thinks he is not…well that is until now. Now I completely understand that there be some out there who are not big fans of this little herb. It can be very overpowering, but it doesn’t have to be.…

King Ranch Chicken…my way
Living in Texas I grew up eating a delicious layered casserole called King Ranch Chicken. It is a rich and very cheesy mexican inspired casserole that always was a huge hit with family, friends and any pot luck it was brought too. A throwback made my way… Since I was little my mom has been making this casserole. Sometimes she uses corn tortillas, sometimes flour. She has used grilled chicken, rotisserie chicken and even canned chicken. Every once in a while she throws in some veggies, but we try to discourage such healthy behavior. I mean this cheesy & creamy casserole does not need any veggies to make it more…
