Sunday (or thursday or friday or monday) Pot Roast
Pot Roast is one of my most favorite Comfort foods. You know like cookies, casseroles or your favorite cake. Comfort food is all I am craving these days. I know I should be focusing on eating healthier and all that, but honestly all I want is food that warms my soul. Roast is one of my most favorite comfort foods and this roast is my MOST favorite. Fall Apart Pot Roast To me the mark of a GREAT pot roast is if it falls apart. I mean is there anything better than a super tender pot roast that literally falls apart when you stick a fork into it? I don’t…

Hamburger Steak with Onion Gravy … Yes, Please
Hamburger Steak may feel a little old school but I tell you…this hamburger steak is AMAZING! Don’t believe me… try it. Oh the Onions… So fun fact, I have not always been the biggest fan of onions. Yep so I never have onions on my burger or hot dog, or in my salads. I really only love onions when they are browned, like in this gravy, or onion soup, or cut up small for a hint of flavor. I know, weird but it is just how I am. These onions are made even better as they are cooked in the same skillet as the hamburger steaks just adding even…

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…

a Honey special
Ok…as you know I am a Texas girl through and through. I was born in Dallas but have lived in the Houston area since I was 2. This girl is a big fan of BBQ, Tex-Mex and CHIKEN FRIED STEAK. In my world a good chicken fried steak can turn any bad day into a GREAT day. I was scared Chicken Fried Steak is one of those dishes that I have always been a little scared to make. Ok maybe not a little, maybe I am a lot scared to make. It is one of those dishes with 1000 memories attached to it, and I don’t want to mess it up. Finally though…

Gravy, please
When you ask The Hubby what he wants for breakfast his typical answer usually is biscuits and gravy. Now his new favorite biscuits are these butter biscuits and his favorite gravy is this sausage gravy…so I bring you The Hubby’s Dream Breakfast. Don’t be afraid of gravy (like I used to be)… So when I first started cooking there were 2 things that I just couldn’t get the hang of…gravy and crust. Now I know some of you are probably laughing and shaking your head and trust me I did as well. I would ask myself why I couldn’t get these simple recipes down each time I would try to…

bring on the cool weather and the slow cooker
So in 80% of the country it is Fall. There are cooler temps, leaves changing colors and the smell of burning fireplaces in the air (oh how I love that smell). Where in live in SE Texas we are still in the 80’s (that feel like the 90’s some days) and haven’t put away our flips flops just yet…but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy some cool weather yummies from the slow cooker. One of the first requests each Fall… The Hubby always has his requests when it comes to food, he even looks on Pinterest to get inspiration from time to time, but each Fall he always requests Beef…

traditional makes a great roast
Not too long ago The Hubby and I went on one of our infamous shopping trips to Costco. You know one of those trips where you not only get the essentials such as endless amounts of toilet paper and paper towels but you also end up with way too much cubed cheese and some chicken pot pies that The Hubby swears are “SO GOOD!” As part of this trip we had some steaks, chicken breasts and string cheese on the list and then we saw the roasts…and immediately The Hubby and I both decided roast had to be on the menu ASAP. Now over the years I have had…

Turkey Time folks!!!
*** This is one of my most favorite ways to cook turkey…it comes out super juicy with tons of flavor and the gravy is AMAZING!! I have made a few slight updates to this tried and true recipe. (updated November 2015) With less than a week until Turkey Day, it is finally time to Talk Turkey. One of the biggest challenges with big Holiday meals is the fact I only have 1 oven, as do so many people, but as you probably know it can make it hard to manage all the dishes at the same time and have everything ready and hot all at once…that is until now. Roasted turkey…
