I started with my basic cheese sauce (like what I use for typical mac & cheese) and then added inContinue reading “Chipotle Cheese & Chorizo Enchiladas”
Who doesn’t love a good Patty Melt? They are so hearty and just feel like home – or that greasy spoon diner we all love to go to after a night out! For this particular patty melt I went with a loose meat style – mixing the mushrooms, onions and jalapenos all in with theContinue reading “Kicked up Patty Melt”
Sometimes I just ask my hubs to pick one ingredient to inspire me for dinner ideas. This was one of those times. I had already settled on a pasta dish but I couldn’t decide which direction to go other than that I didn’t want red sauce. So I asked and he delivered Ground Beef. TheContinue reading “Cowboy Pasta”

This time of year in the Pacific Northwest, everyone had zucchini and summer squash coming out ofContinue reading “Baked Rigatoni Jack”
Some people shy away from cooking pasta in a One-Pot style dish – but it really does work. You get excellent flavor into the pasta and it creates it’s own sauce in the end.

Burgers and Mexican are very popular choices in my home so I make them often. Then I decided to mash things up and made some Bacon Cheeseburger Quesadillas that got devoured by my crew.
