While I was on the hunt for a new comfort food recipe the other day, I stumbled across this Shepherd's Pie recipe. Shepherd's Pie is the ultimate comfort meal. Potatoes, ground meat, and veggies all combine to make this insanely craveworthy dish. This recipe, though, is just a tad different. It combines a lot of… Continue reading Mexican Shepherd’s Pie

Buffalo Chicken Twice Baked Potatoes
Oh boy. You really underestimate how much your oven heats up your home until you are baking all day. I had to cook a bunch of recipes this weekend in the oven and got hot. I mean, really hot. I had to fan myself down a few times while wiping away little beads of sweat… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Twice Baked Potatoes
Chicken Caesar Salad Pitas
I'm ready to make salads upon salads this spring and summer. The spring produce is out and ready for the taking. There's nothing more refreshing during the hotter months of the year than a big ol' bowl of salad. It's especially helpful when you want to avoid overheating your house with the stove and the… Continue reading Chicken Caesar Salad Pitas
Veggie Noodle Stir-Fry
I'm finally, finally getting to the end of a bunch of recipes I made a few weekends ago. I try to post as many times a week as I can, but this week has been hectic. Between getting people out to our house to cut down limbs from October's ice storm, to accidentally sleeping in… Continue reading Veggie Noodle Stir-Fry
Sweet Thai Chili Stir-Fry
Every Sunday I meal prep for the week ahead. I make two meals for my husband to take to work for lunch, then a few meals for dinners throughout the week (plus snacks and salads when I decide to make them). I've been experimenting with what my husband will eat for lunch because I want… Continue reading Sweet Thai Chili Stir-Fry
Colossal Chicken Salad
By now you probably know that I'm an avid cookbook collector. I've got cookbooks stashed in every nook and cranny of my house. There's two huge bins plus one gigantic bookshelf packed full of cookbooks. I keep buying new ones even though I have no idea what to do with them. I may have a… Continue reading Colossal Chicken Salad
Southwestern Turkey Lettuce Wraps
I have become obsessed with turkey roasts at the grocery store. They are usually nestled in with the whole turkeys in the poultry section of the store. They're much smaller than a whole turkey (duh) and they are cheaper (not by pound, but cheaper than buying a whole turkey). I had never noticed them before… Continue reading Southwestern Turkey Lettuce Wraps
Copycat Kardashian Deluxe Salad
I've always been a huge fan of reality TV. It may seem mindless, stupid, or not worth most people's time. But there's something very relaxing about watching reality TV. It soothes the soul after a long day. Its purpose is what television was intended for: an escape. I've been watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians… Continue reading Copycat Kardashian Deluxe Salad
St. Patrick’s Day Bangers & Mash with Stout Onion Gravy
I had my first swig of Guinness this weekend. Can you believe it? I've spent 32 years on this planet with a very Irish name and never had a drop of Guinness. The verdict? It's some, ahem, potent beer. It's not really my cup of tea. I like my beers light, refreshing, and almost like soda. Guinness… Continue reading St. Patrick’s Day Bangers & Mash with Stout Onion Gravy
Mexican Meatloaf
Meatloaf is one of those food items that just doesn't photograph well. I've made dozens of different meatloaf recipes over the years, but most of the time I don't blog about them because the pictures came out looking, well, like crap. It doesn't matter if it was the best thing I'd ever had! When the… Continue reading Mexican Meatloaf
