When I had Hamburger Helper growing up, I had my favorites: Stroganoff was the best, Cheeseburger came in second place, and Hamburger Helper Lasagna was a close third.

Skillet Salisbury Steak and Potatoes
When I first met my husband, he was the epitome of a bachelor. He lived in a tiny apartment and his only furniture was a bed (with no bedding, of course) and two recliners. He lived off of fast food and frozen dinners. Did he know how to cook? Yes. He had, shockingly, a pretty… Continue reading Skillet Salisbury Steak and Potatoes

Sweet Chili Chicken & Green Beans
The first few weeks after the New Year seem to drag. There's this sort of limbo between the Holidays and Summer that appears to last forever. The cold wintery months in between don't help, either.

I've already… Continue reading Orange Pork & Rice Skillet
Italian Wedding Supper Skillet
One of my favorite places to eat in college was Olive Garden. That's a weird statement, I know. But listen, my small little town didn't have much to choose from. And as a broke college student, you couldn't get a much better deal than OG's unlimited soup, salad and breadsticks. My go-to was the Zuppa… Continue reading Italian Wedding Supper Skillet

Lemon-roasted chicken is my all-time favorite way to eat a whole chicken. Roasting a whole chicken can be quite challenging, though, especially if you're… Continue reading Skillet Lemon Chicken and Potatoes

Cheesy Chicken & Rice Skillet
My big skillets have been getting a workout these last few weeks. My heavy-duty cast iron skillet just stays on the stovetop now since I use it so much. My big, deep Magnalite skillet (with a lid!) is also a well-used pan in my rotation. One reason I've been using the heck out of my… Continue reading Cheesy Chicken & Rice Skillet
