Rosemary Wine Chicken

Rosemary Wine Chicken

The sauce on this chicken is so good!  I really wish I’d taken a picture of the sauce in the skillet because you can’t really see it in the picture (it’s white so it blends in).  You’ll definitely want to serve this with rice so that it can absorb all of that delicious sauce.  I’m … Continue reading

Waffle & Sausage Breakfast Caserole

Waffle & Sausage Breakfast Caserole

  Every Sunday I make breakfast for my Sunday School class.  This has led to me trying out LOTS of various breakfasty recipes (and lots of sweets that we unashamedly eat instead of real breakfast foods).  I’ve found that most breakfast casseroles pretty much taste the same.  Sure, some have a unique ingredient, and there’s … Continue reading

Calzone

Calzone

Who doesn’t love a calzone?  I mean who says, “Yeah I don’t really care for cheese, herbs, and toppings of choice wrapped in warm bread.”  I’ll tell you who…NO ONE.  Because calzones are that good.  In my opinion, it’s the better version of pizza (which is also a food item that everyone loves). So today … Continue reading

Grilled Honey Glazed Pork Chops

Grilled Honey Glazed Pork Chops

Doesn’t that pork chop look AMAZING?!  I do believe that’s the thickest, most delicious looking pork chop I’ve ever seen.  And it tasted every bit as good as it looks. This is actually a meal that my awesome husband made me last week while I was sick with the flu!  He certainly knows how to … Continue reading

Basil Tilapia

Basil Tilapia

I often hear people say that they don’t cook fish at home “because they don’t know how to cook it.”  Well, I’m here to tell you that it’s really not as difficult as you might think.  In fact, it can actually be quite simple!  And because fish cooks so quickly, it’s also usually a quick … Continue reading

Broccoli and Rice Casserole

      Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!  And yes, I know that Thanksgiving was yesterday, but who says you can’t celebrate an extra day?  Especially when good food is involved?  Yesterday we celebrated with my husband’s family and today we are celebrating with my family.  More food!! For my husband’s family Thanksgiving, the hostess requested that … Continue reading

Apricot Lemon Chicken

Apricot Lemon Chicken

  This is another meal that my awesome husband made for me while I was sick with the flu.  And I gotta say, he knows how to work it in the kitchen!  This chicken was so good, I ate the whole piece even though I was feeling ill and had no appetite.  I just couldn’t … Continue reading

Chicken Bacon Ranch Quesadilla

Chicken Bacon Ranch Quesadilla

Chicken. Bacon. Ranch.  These three things were made for each other.  Individually they are nice.  Together they are PHENOMENAL.  What is it about chicken, bacon, and ranch that just mesh so well?  Everyone (sans vegetarians) loves this combo.  It’s really not fair to other foods.  Once you put the holy trinity of chicken, bacon, and … Continue reading

Braised Pork Chops

Braised Pork Chops

  These pork chops are quick, simple, and very very tasty.  Oh and they’re a weight watchers recipe so they’re healthy too.  This is a great weeknight meal that you can whip up in a hurry and everyone will love.  Well…assuming they are fans of delicious flavor. The sauce is really what makes this dish … Continue reading

Crab Filled Crescent Bites

Crab Filled Crescent Bites

    Hello again, dear readers.  So sorry you haven’t heard from me in a couple days.  I’ve been out of commission with the flu!  Yeah, it’s pretty terrible.  And though I still have the flu, at least now my symptoms are under control with medicine.  So, though I sit here with a tissue shoved … Continue reading

Cheesy Vegetable Soup

Cheesy Vegetable Soup

  Before I say anything, let me be clear about something:  I do not like vegetable soup.  My mom can attest to that fact.  Vegetable soup has always been a common dinner at my household during the winter months, and it was often accompanied by homemade cornbread.  I have just never liked it…not just as … Continue reading

Pollo Loco

Pollo Loco

If you’re a Mexican food fan, then you should listen up!  Err…open your eyes wider as you read!!  Or something.  Point is:  this dish is really good. Even if you just ate the grilled chicken after it has marinated in the chipotle marinade, you would still enjoy this meal.  It’s so juicy and flavorful and … Continue reading

Baked Ziti

Baked Ziti

The best thing about this meal is the ease of it.  This recipe is very simple and could easily be enhanced.  You could add onions, bell peppers, Italian spices, or anything you want!  Also, the original recipe is vegetarian, but I added a 1/2 lb of beef to make it a little more hearty, so … Continue reading

Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars

Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars

Today is my 25th birthday!  It’s hard to believe I’ve been alive for a QUARTER OF A CENTURY!  That just seems so old!  I’ve been so blessed in my 25 years, though, and I’m excited to see what God has in store for the next 25.  One of my biggest blessings in life is my … Continue reading

Chicken Piccata

Chicken Piccata

I made this dish having no idea what “piccata” meant.  So I decided to look it up, and here’s what wikipedia has to say, “Piccata is a method of preparing food:  meat is sliced, coated, sauteed, and served in sauce.”  Oh!  Now you know a little bit about what you’re signing up for when you … Continue reading
