The days are shorter and colder around here – which means soup for dinner ups from once in a while to a few nights a week. That means I have to get a little more creative with the types of soups I am making. My family likes chowders of all kinds. Chowders are defined asContinue reading “Mexican Corn Chowder”
Do you ever have those days when you think “I have to make dinner, again?” – that’s when I turn to One Pot Meals. Minimal effort, and minimal clean up afterwards. Sometimes, I just open up my fridge and see what I think I can put together. A sort of self-imposed Chopped Challenge! This goContinue reading “Creamy Spaghetti #onepotmeals”
Do you ever go to restaurant, read something that sounds amazing on the menu but when it comes out it’s just sort of meh? This recently happened to me and I just thought I can do better than what I was served. So I gave it a go with these Chipotle Shrimp & Cheesy GritsContinue reading “Chipotle Shrimp & Cheesy Grits”
If you are looking for a hearty, flavorful meal that everyone is going to gobble up, then you just found it! Italian Stuffed Peppers are a delicious combination of orzo pasta, Italian sausage, tomatoes, ricotta and mozzarella cheeses. My whole family loves bell peppers so I am always trying to find new ways to useContinue reading “Italian Stuffed Peppers”

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”
While this might be a little ambitious for a weeknight, because filling the manicotti shells is a bit time consuming – it is still doable. This twist on the classic Italian favorite comes out so good with the silky homemade alfredo and the cheese and sausage filling. Be careful though – because your family isContinue reading “Alfredo Manicotti”
I have said it before and I will keep saying it – I LOVE PIZZA! Next to burgers and right before tacos, it is one of the most versatile types of food. You can do some much with the base (hello cauliflower), the sauces, meats, cheeses, veggies. You can have sweet or savory pizza. IContinue reading “Feta Salami Pizza”
