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…

Jalapeno & Cilantro Coleslaw
Truth time…I have never been a fan of coleslaw. I can actually count on one hand the number of times I have had coleslaw. When my Godmother said she was going to make some I was not super excited to say the least. Well… that all changed the minute I tasted it. Jalapeño & Cilantro Coleslaw is now one of my most favorite summer sides! It is all about the prep When SandyJones, my Godmother, said she was going to make coleslaw I just figured we would buy a bag of slaw and go from there…well I was WRONG. She bought a head of cabbage and cut that bad boy…

Roasted Veggie Couscous
Spring veggies are just about ready in my part of the country. The farmers markets are starting to get loaded up with beautiful produce and this couscous dish is one of my favorite ways to highlight so many of those veggies. It starts with the veggies With so many beautiful veggies popping at my farmers markets and in my grocery store it was hard to choose which veggies to use for this delicious salad. First I knew I wanted to use peppers, red, yellow and orange. I love how sweet early spring peppers are and these were just perfect. Next I threw in an onion. I used a white onion,…

It’s time for a FIESTA
I don’t know about y’all but I am ready for a little Fiesta. This Fiesta Chicken is a party in your mouth!! The good news about this meal is it seems quite indulgent but it really is quite healthy….now thats a win! It’s just so pretty I love it when food comes out looking pretty, I really do think it makes it taste better. Have you ever thought about it? If something looks good…it just seems to taste good (unless it has bananas in it). For this dish the pretty not only comes from the salsa on top but also the browned chicken…it really gets some great color on it…

get excited…it’s vegetable time
Is it hard sometimes to get excited about vegetables? I know it is for me at time. I mean lets be real…can vegetables really be all that exciting? YES they can be… and you won’t believe how easy it can be. Now first, things first…lets talk about what veggies to choose. When I made this dish the first time we were having some sweet friends over for dinner and we had never had them over before. I wasn’t 100% sure what they preferred so I went a little crazy and picked quite the assortment. When I went to the store I just couldn’t pick they all looked so good. I just had to…

chicken + grilled cheese = perfect sandwich
One of my most very favorite things to eat in the whole world is a sandwich and a grilled cheese is at the top of the list. OK, I know that sounds a little simple from a “food blogger” but I LOVE a grilled cheese sandwich. There is something so yummy to my tummy about a crunchy buttered bread with ooey gooey cheese…and when you add other yummy stuff to that combo it only gets better. Last week I made one of the most delicious grilled cheese sandwich I have ever had and it was all by accident…I just love it when that happens. So it all started with some thawed…

quick, skinny and oh so good fajitas
I have a confession (one I have made several times before, but it probably needs to be made again) I LOVE MEXICAN FOOD! I am not overly picky…I love tacos, burritos, enchiladas but I especially love fajitas! I love that you get all the yummies that Mexican food has to offer but without a lot of the calories and fat of some other options (such as tacos, burritos or enchiladas). You can have fajitas made with beef, shrimp, chicken or just veggies…all of which are good but when I decided to do a quick one pan fajita skillet at home I knew I wanted to use chicken as it…

rich, creamy and oh so good risotto
Are you a fan of risotto? Have you made it before? Were you successful? Was it worth it (you know all the time and effort)? Whether you are a pro or not this risotto is a must make, and you won’t believe just how easy it is, you just have to have a little time and some patience…you know those two things you have tons of. 😉 My love of risotto has been a long time in the making. I always order it if I find it on a menu, and I am always looking for fun new ways to make this favorite treat. The beauty of it is that you…

fryin’ up a super yummy onion strings
What are you serving up this weekend for the Big Game? Are you doing all appetizers, BBQ, pot luck, or burgers and hot dogs? Whatever you are serving these onion strings are amazing and will be a hit with all your guests for sure! Ok, now I know I have been trying to eat healthier and post healthier recipes but sometimes you just have to splurge a little and for me Super Bowl Sunday is always one of those days. Now I am not saying you have to go crazy but a little splurge here and there will be ok. For me a splurge is either going to be…
