Have you ever heard of Romesco sauce before? I hadn’t until I found this recipe. I even googled it to see what it is. I totally thought it was an Italian food, but it turns out that Romesco sauce actually comes from Spain, and is primarily made up of a nut and red pepper base … Continue reading
I know what you’re thinking…”crock pot lasagna? How in the world do you cook lasagna in a crock pot?

However, I … Continue reading
Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce to you one of the easiest and yummiest desserts ever. The Lazy Cake Cookies. Or the Lazy Cookie Cake. Whichevs. It’s like a really thick, soft cookie! I don’t bake desserts all too often. It’s usually only for special occasions like birthdays or holidays. If I baked desserts … Continue reading
Today’s dish is an interesting one. It was absolutely DELICIOUS and one of our favorite fish recipes. However, things didn’t exactly go as planned. As you can see, the fish isn’t really “stuffed” but “topped”. The reason is that the recipe recommended flounder, so that’s what I bought. Unfortunately these flounder fillets are thick … Continue reading
I love shrimp, but seriously…who gets full from eating it? I mean, their name literally means small. It’s hardly a filling entree. BUT! This dish has all that figured out. Because if there’s one food that’s super filling, it’s pasta. So, we take the delicious, albeit unsubstantial, shrimp and pair it with filling, and also … Continue reading
Y’all this chicken is SO GOOD! It has everything! It’s a symphony of flavors: chicken, cream cheese, melted cheddar, a crispy breading, lemon, and garlic…oh man. We really loved this dish!

On this blog, I’ve posted quite a few recipes using dijon as a key ingredient. As someone who isn’t that fond of mustard, that’s kind of surprising to me. But here’s the thing…dijon is a surprisingly versatile ingredient, and though I’ve made lots of dishes with it, none of them taste similar, but all of … Continue reading
This was the perfect dinner for tonight! Ya see, we’re having some unusual weather here in Alabama. IT SNOWED TODAY!! Depending on where you live, you may not think that’s a big deal. But trust me, it’s a very rare and beautiful occurrence here in the Deep South! Usually all we get is sleet and … Continue reading
I’m gonna be honest…I don’t know a lot about Russian cuisine. In fact, my knowledge on the matter stretches no further than stroganoff, borscht, and vodka. In fact, I think borscht might actually be Ukrainian so there goes that. It’s interesting to me that Americans can be inundated by foods from around the world (especially Italy, Germany, … Continue reading
For Christmas, I got my very first bundt pan! WOO! I was so excited and immediately started looking for a tasty recipe to put my new bundt pan to the test. I dunno about you, but when I think of bundt pans, I think of pound cake. I mean isn’t that the primary purpose of … Continue reading

This dish is unlike anything I’ve ever made before, and I LOVED IT! It’s basically an Italian Meat Pie with a crescent roll crust. The crescent rolls crust did not get soggy at all, as I was afraid it might. They were still as buttery and light as ever. This dish was very filling, … Continue reading
There is just so much right with this dish! My husband and I love Mexican food, tacos included. This recipe puts a delightful twist on the classic taco. I was a little worried that baking the tacos might make the shells soggy. They were not soggy at all, but they did soften just a … Continue reading
