• a mac-n-cheese treat for all ages…

    Comfort food is always a treat and when we were growing up mac-n-cheese & sausage was a a treat for sure.  Back then my dad was the master of mac-n-cheese.  He would make it on the stovetop with noodles, velveeta and cheese and we thought this was the best mac-n-cheese EVER.  We loved how creamy it was and how cheesy it was…even better my dad would grill up some link sausage and it was a perfect dinner.   As I have grown up my taste have changed some but mac-n-cheese is still a favorite for me…and when paired with sausage it is still a treat.  To make it a little more…

  • skinny McMuffin at home

    They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day (I’m not sure I agree with that, being I am not a must eat breakfast kinda gal) but if I could have one these sassy little skinny McMuffins sandwich every morning I might just change my mind. The whole idea of this skinny McMuffin came from The Hubby actually.  He has been trying to eat breakfast every morning (you know like your supposed to) and he normally fixes his famous omelette but one day he realized that we were out of egg whites so we had to come up with plan B…and this sandwich was born. First up was toasting the english…

  • potato soup…a must have comfort

    Are you still surrounded by all the goodness of Thanksgiving, or have you eaten all the turkey you can handle and are ready to move on and embrace all the warm comfort foods of winter…well for The Hubby and I we are ready to move on and this potato soup is a must make.   After all the craziness of Thanksgiving, the endless eating & deal shopping I found it was time to settle into some decorating and a warm bowl of soup.  Anytime I ask The Hubby what soup he would like he immediately goes to potato soup or enchilada soup and this time potato won (only because I had everything on…

  • chicken & sausage = comfort

    I know I have said this before but there is just something so comforting about walking into the house after a busy day and being greeted with the wonderful aroma of your dinner being almost all done…and this chicken & sausage is a real treat.  It really is one of my most favorite things! This slow cooker dish is rich, creamy and so full of flavor in each bite it screams comfort!   The Hubby loves smoked sausage and it always looking for ways that I can incorporate it into dinner, but little did I know just how much he loved it.  We went to Costco one afternoon to get…
