Pizza Sausage Balls
One of my most favorite snacks in the world is sausage balls. A friend of mine used to make them for parties when we were in high school and I fell in love with them. They're so easy to make and require only 3 ingredients: sausage, cheese and Bisquick. I wanted to make sausage balls… Continue reading Pizza Sausage Balls
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
Shrimp Scampi Ramen
I've had this blog for about 10 years now. When I first started the blog, it was named "The Recipe Box Challenge". The whole idea behind the name was that I'd draw random, handwritten recipe cards from my half dozen recipe boxes and then cook said recipes. Great idea for a blog, terrible name. The… Continue reading Shrimp Scampi Ramen
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
Sausage Fettuccine
Everything is dead or dying in Oklahoma. Oklahoma's summer this year has been far too hot. We had a long spate of 100-degree days and went weeks without rain. Because of that, everything from the grass to the trees is dying. It's been hard to keep my first-year garden alive. I surrendered early to the… Continue reading Sausage Fettuccine
Creamy Jalapeno-Garlic Brussels Sprouts
It's all doom and gloom outside and I'm not looking forward to driving into work today. I've got a 4-wheel drive car, so I'll be fine...I hope. Right now there's just a slight glazing of ice on the roads, but later it will be snow-packed. Yuck. I'm filling my lunchbox to the brim today so… Continue reading Creamy Jalapeno-Garlic Brussels Sprouts
Roasted Garlic Feta Dip
"I'm the dip." It's a classic line in the second episode of season 3 of Buffy, my favorite show. The characters are trying to decide what kind of party Buffy's mom is throwing for her return. One of the characters, Cordelia Chase, says "I'm the dip". She brings dip to parties--that's her thing. Opening jars… Continue reading Roasted Garlic Feta Dip
Garlic Parmesan Roasted Carrots
If there's one food item that gets a bad rap, it's carrots. Plenty of people like raw carrots. Most like them covered in ranch. But very few people actually like cooked carrots. I don't know if that's because they've only had cooked carrots (as a side dish) one way in life. You know what I'm… Continue reading Garlic Parmesan Roasted Carrots
Chicken Piccata Meatballs
One of my favorite Italian dishes is chicken piccata. The sauce is incredibly simple: it's just lemon juice, butter and capers. Something about a simple sauce like that just makes my heart sing. It's so incredibly flavorful without having very many ingredients. It's a beautiful testament to the wonders of Italian food. I've made chicken… Continue reading Chicken Piccata Meatballs
