I may be the cook in the family, but my husband is actually a really good cook, too. He specializes in breakfast, but there are a few different dinners he makes that are really good. One of his favorites is the one pot Swedish meatball dinner. I'm not sure where he found it, but he's… Continue reading One Pot Swedish Meatball Dinner

Speedy Stroganoff
I'm an avid cookbook collector. I've been collecting old, new and local cookbooks for years now. I've got an entire bookshelf, two tubs, and two small drawer stands full of cookbooks. There are two cookbooks that stand out as superior in my eyes: Taste of Home and Gooseberry Patch. I especially love Gooseberry Patch cookbooks.… Continue reading Speedy Stroganoff
Chuckwagon Casserole
If you don't have a cast iron skillet, I implore you to buy one. Are they kind of a pain to clean? Sure. Are they heavy and take up a lot of room in the kitchen? Yes. But are they the king of cookware? Absolutely. Cast iron skillets are versatile. One second you can be… Continue reading Chuckwagon Casserole
Easy Oven Baked BBQ Brisket
There are some foods that have made me far too intimidated to cook them. Macarons I'll never try. It sounds WAY too stressful. A whole duck or a goose, no way. That's completely out of my wheelhouse. Classic Texas-style barbecue? I don't own a smoker, so how could I possibly do that? Well, it turns… Continue reading Easy Oven Baked BBQ Brisket
Meaty Pinto Beans
Yep, that's the title of this recipe. Meaty beans. I found it in one of my old church cookbooks and decided to keep the vague title. These beans are packed full of, no shock here, MEAT. I even added more meat to the pot (tasso ham) to beef it up (no pun intended) more. I… Continue reading Meaty Pinto Beans
Country Meat & Potatoes Skillet Dinner
Sometimes, just sometimes, simple is better. Instead of using 27 different ingredients for dinner, sometimes 3 just works. Instead of taking hours to cook one meal, sometimes taking minutes is better. Instead of presenting a pretty plate of food, sometimes just spooning your dish on a plate works. This is one of those "sometimes" dishes.… Continue reading Country Meat & Potatoes Skillet Dinner
Shepherd’s Pie Soup
I'm still anxiously awaiting soup season. Sure, I'm making soups right now. But it just doesn't taste as good unless the temperatures outside hover around the low 50's. It looks like Oklahoma is on its way to another 2-3 weeks of above-average temperatures and no rain. What the heck is going on? Where is fall??… Continue reading Shepherd’s Pie Soup
Bacon Cheeseburger Mac Skillet
I'd love to meet someone who has never made Hamburger Helper. When I was in college, Hamburger Helper was my dinner savior. I made so much of it that I think I made myself sick. My favorite, of course, was the stroganoff (both pasta AND potatoes) and cheeseburger mac. That last one is also my… Continue reading Bacon Cheeseburger Mac Skillet
Slow Cooker Italian Beef Sandwiches
There are a lot of regional sandwiches I've never had before. I've never tried beef on weck, a classic hoagie, and I hate to admit it---I've never tried an Italian beef sandwich. Pretty much any sandwich hailing from the upper midwest or northeast I've never tried. I'd like to change that, though. My husband and… Continue reading Slow Cooker Italian Beef Sandwiches
Easy Stromboli
To say I'm addicted to Italian food is an understatement. I probably make more Italian dishes than anything else. Making a pasta entree is just second nature at this point. My husband and I love to make "homemade" pizzas. We utilize shortcuts for those, though, like using pre-made dough and sauce. As much as I… Continue reading Easy Stromboli
