Happy Halloween, everyone! Sorry I don’t have anything super-cute and Halloween-themed for you today. I posted a Candy Corn Brownie Pizza if you’re looking for something to make for a Halloween party! Even though Greek Tilapia doesn’t really shout, “I’m celebrating Halloween today!” it does say, “I’m a delicious meal regardless of what day of … Continue reading
Are you wearing socks? Because this dish is about to knock them off! This is one of my FAVORITE ways to cook chicken EVER. And believe me, I’ve tried it at least a hundred ways. There’s just so much right with this dish. The chicken alone was delicious, with it being breaded in … Continue reading

However, let me assure you that these really were tasty, and they made for some great appetizers. So first I have some tips for you from things I … Continue reading
I’ve made cinnamon apples lots and lots of times. They make a great side dish, especially during the months of fall. This was my first time to make cinnamon pears, and I gotta say, I think I stumbled onto something great! In fact, my husband and I prefer the pears to the apples. These can … Continue reading
These Weight Watchers pork chops were so good! To be honest, I read over the recipe, and wasn’t really sure how flavorful it would be. You see, you cook the pork chops in a skillet by themselves. plain. no seasoning or anything. Then you make the sauce to go on top. I feared that … Continue reading
Before I tell you anything about this pastry, let me inform you of a mistake (gasp!) in the photo! You see, the recipe calls for softened marshmallow fluff on top. This is what gives the pastry that real s’mores taste instead of just chocolatey, peanut buttery goodness. I did use the marshmallow fluff, but unfortunately … Continue reading
In my hometown, there was a great casual seafood joint called Up the Creek. My absolute favorite thing on the menu was their Pecan Crusted Trout. It was SO GOOD! One day I went to eat there with my family and they had taken it off the menu! I even asked the waiter about … Continue reading
Today’s recipe is one that is so ridiculously easy, you can hardly even call it a recipe. In spite of being sssoooo simple, it still is one of the most requested meals I make. In fact, I told my husband that it’s almost insulting that he prefers this super-simple chicken dish over something more elaborate … Continue reading

When I found this recipe, I knew it would be a perfect “fall weather” food. It’s got cinnamon, apples, and honey, and I just knew that it would make the house smell delicious while it was cooking in the crock pot. Well, it definitely did make the house smell amazing….unfortunately, I can’t say it did a … Continue reading
If you like Mexican food, you’ve got to give this a try! It had tons of flavor! It’s one of those meals that, if you’re not careful, you’ll keep going back for seconds, thirds, and more until you realize you just ate that whole thing. For some reason, the name “taco lasagna” never enticed me … Continue reading
If you’re like most families, you probably eat a lot of chicken. And why not? It’s cheap, it’s healthy, and it’s extremely versatile. Unfortunately, many people who cook chicken on a regular basis are not as familiar with that versatility point. For example, when my husband was in the Navy, living alone, he ate chicken … Continue reading
I read an article the other day that discussed all the great things about eating fish. It’s low fat, it’s high in protein, etc. etc. Most everyone knows fish is good for you. Then it said that most people very rarely eat fish, and it is not as large a part of our diet as … Continue reading
I really REALLY liked this dish. In fact I’ve never met a tortellini that I didn’t like. I mean, it’s pasta filled with cheese, what’s not to like? I’m also a big fan of creamy sauces. I prefer rich, creamy alfredo to a tomato based sauce any day (unfortunately my husband feels just the opposite). … Continue reading
