Rob and I are getting ready to buy our first house so we are fiendishly saving every last penny. The easiest thing to cut back on when you're trying to save is the grocery bill. Thankfully, we've got pretty good stores of meat right now. I don't plan on hitting up the grocery store for… Continue reading Taco Party Salad

Tater Tot Topped Shepherd’s Pie
I'm starting to get the hang of the whole grocery-shopping-every-three-weeks thing. The first two weeks are great. My meals are packed full of fresh vegetables and fruit. The third week is the "lean" week. That's the mad-dash to make casseroles and use whatever is left in the fridge/freezer. By the end of the third week… Continue reading Tater Tot Topped Shepherd’s Pie
Copycat Potatoes Stroganoff
Ok, ok, ok. I'm kind of tired of this homebound, self-isolation thing. It's been...I don't know how long. I've lost count of the days. I've got my little routine that I stick to, just like I would if the world is normal. But I miss driving to work. Heck, I miss driving period. I haven't… Continue reading Copycat Potatoes Stroganoff
Beef & Cabbage Stir-Fry
When your living in this new Coronavirus world, it's important to not waste any food. That means going through your reserves in the pantry or cabinets. I've got a couple of cans of refried beans, green chiles, and tomatoes I'm going to try and use up this weekend. It also means getting the most bang… Continue reading Beef & Cabbage Stir-Fry
Reuben Wraps
When I was a kid I used to dislike a lot of foods. Onions were a big one. I couldn't STAND crunchy, barely cooked onions on anything like pizza or salads. I also despised pot roast and corned beef. Now, I love all of those things. I use onions in my cooking more than almost… Continue reading Reuben Wraps
Beef & Broccoli Salad
I can't believe I'm actually writing this blog post. The idea behind this recipe has been rattling around in my brain for months and I never acted on it. I finally got to work cooking and testing it when I got back from vacation two weeks ago. Then, I forgot about it again. I got… Continue reading Beef & Broccoli Salad
Texas Pot Roast
One of the reasons you rarely see beef recipes on my blog is because they're so gosh darn hard to photograph. I've got pictures upon pictures of meatloaf and meatball recipes that I can't use because they look, well, horrible. With beef having such a dark brown exterior, it does no good for pictures even… Continue reading Texas Pot Roast
Cajun Steak Tips
I'm a ribeye gal, through and through. When it comes to steak, I go for the fattiest, juiciest cut. Ribeye is supreme. I've been raised on expertly grilled ribeye steaks. My grandpa would cook them for us on special occasions and he used such tender, nurturing care to get them perfectly cooked. Medium rare ribeyes… Continue reading Cajun Steak Tips
Swedish Meatball Soup
Use frozen meatballs to make this dinner in a breeze. Slowcooked to delicious goodness and topped with Parmesan, this Swedish meatball soup is a good one for cold winter nights.
Mexican Shredded Beef Wraps
Chuck roast was made for the slowcooker. It's probably one of the things I make most in my crockpot. I've done it Mississippi-style, regular pot roast-style, and loaded with mushrooms. Chuck roast is my go-to when it comes to pot roast or slow-cooked beef. I wanted to make some barbacoa-style meat for lettuce wraps this… Continue reading Mexican Shredded Beef Wraps
