• Taco Tuesday KETO Taco Bake

    If you have hung out on here very much you know I am a fan of casseroles.  Especially ones that are loaded with tons of flavor and cheese… lots of cheese.  This KETO Taco Bake is all that and MORE!

  • Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole (KETO/Low Carb)

    Who doesn’t love a good casserole.  I know I do.  They are my comfort food and this Bacon Cheeseburger has everything a good casserole should have, and then some. Bacon, please This casserole all starts with bacon.  I used 1/2 lb of bacon and cut the strips into small pieces and then cooked it all in a large skillet.  If you leftover bacon you can use it, but I love how the bacon flavor becomes the base of the casserole when you cook it in the same skillet as the meat. The bacon adds so much flavor and really elevates this casserole to the next level.  My moms hamburger casserole…

    Summer is almost here.  The business of the end of school will be winding down soon and a new summer schedule will start to become familiar.  For me that means it is time to get back into some favorite routines like cooking dinner.   There is not a much better place to start than this stroganoff..

  • 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…
