Pudding Cookies are a must have in my cookie rotation. Trust me you need to make these ASAP! Pudding Cookies Perfect for ANY Holiday I love a cookie that is super versatile and something you can make for any and all occasions.

Italian Sausage & Brussels Sprouts Skillet
Italian Sausage & Brussels Sprouts skillet is a must make. I am getting ready to jump back onto the KETO bandwagon and this will be on my food plan for sure. Skillet Meal in NO Time One of the best things about this one skillet recipe is how quick it comes together…in 30 minutes you can have dinner on the table. The sausage cooks down and gives you just enough grease to sauté the shaved sprouts in, and it adds a TON of flavor to the dish s well. I purchase my brussels sprouts already shaved which saves a TON of time, if you cannot find them already shaved then…

Easy Shortbread Cookies
Shortbread Cookies are my mom’s most favorite cookie. Anytime I ask her what she wants for her birthday or a holiday treat she says shortbread…and these are her MOST FAVORITE recipe. What makes them so special? First thing is the Vanilla Bean Paste. It adds a true vanilla flavor to these cookies, along with the cute little specks from the vanilla bean making these cookies look a little bit fancier then your typical shortbread. If you do not have vanilla bean pasta that is ok you can use vanilla extract, but of you can get your hands on vanilla bean extract I would. Secondly, these cookies have less powder…

Skillet Brussels Sprouts and Bacon
Skillet Brussels Sprouts and Bacon are the perfect quick side for dinner tonight. Literally can be ready in 20 minutes! KETO baby! I love this side not only because it is Brussels Sprouts (which I LOVE) but it is also KETO friendly, oh yeah and there is bacon. I mean I am not sure it can get any better than sprouts, bacon, butter and super quick and easy. PS… The flavor is AMAZING! One pan and done I love when a dish is made all in one pan, and this time was all about the skillet. First you fry up the cut up bacon and then quick sauté the sprouts…

Cranberry Pistachio White Chocolate Shortbread
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE shortbread. Anytime there is a shortbread option on a cookie platter that is the one I go for first. There is just something so decadent in each buttery bite. So much yummy I am a happy girl with just a plain shortbread (like this one), but for the Holidays I decided to amp it up a bit with a little extra something. To start with I wanted a little something tart and pretty so I added in one of my favorite holiday tasted, dried cranberries. Next for a little crunch I went with another favorite, pistachio’s. I love how they taste and how they look,…

Salsa Verde Chicken & Rice
I am a BIG, BIG casserole fan. It is not only me though, my whole family loves a good casserole. One of our favorites was always chicken & rice but this updated version might be our new favorite. Spicing it up a bit To add a little something extra to this this chicken & rice casserole I added in salsa verde, sour cream and chili powder. Yes… salsa verde, sour cream and chili powder. It adds a little heat and some extra creaminess making this casserole a little something extra. Don’t worry though it is not super spicy… just a little bit of heat. Super Easy To make this…

this ain’t your normal sugar cookie
Sugar cookies are my mom’s favorite cookie. She would eat them everyday, if I made them for her everyday. Thankfully for her I don’t…or her time at the gym would be a lot more than it is right now. Time for something new My Mom is not the only one who loves sugar cookies though. I am also a HUGE fan so when I was at one of my favorite cooking store (Sur La Table) and saw these cookie stamps I knew it was time to make these shortbread sugar cookies. Since I was going to be using a new technique I decided to use a new recipe. I have…

love in the oven
When someone asks me what my favorite meal is one of my top answers is roast and potatoes. This French Onion Roast is a super yummy version of my classic recipe, and you won’t believe how easy it is. What makes this so special? Three words…French Onion Soup Mix (sorry it is 4 words). Add in this little envelope of goodness and the result is AMAZING!! It has the perfect mix of spices, salt, and onion bits giving this roast just that little something extra. You know what I am talking about that little something that makes people ask what your secret is. Who knew you secret could be so…

it’s biscuit time
If it were up to The Hubby it would always be biscuit time. I honestly think he would have biscuits at every meal if I made them…unfortunately for him I rarely make them so when I do it is quite the BIG DEAL! I decided a while ago that since The Hubby loves them so much maybe it should become his job to make them. I mean he could make the biscuits when I was making dinner or the gravy (if it were breakfast…or dinner…WOW I really want gravy now). Anyway back to the biscuits…I was showing The Hubby several recipes I have gathered over the years and he settled…
