Have you ever just blogged a recipe so you wouldn’t loose it? Well, if you did blog anyway. That’s what I’m doing with this one! Christmas Markets in Germany are known for the mushrooms at the food stands. They are sautéed in garlic and butter, and served with, or without, aioli. I am not a fan of mushrooms by the mouthful, but J tried them…and … Continue reading Sauteéd Mushrooms with Creamy Garlic Sauce
I got this idea from my vegetarian friend Amy. I love it because it’s so easy to swap between meat or meatless, and it’s not completely boring and lacking if you take out the meat!

So here is what you will … Continue reading Fresh Vegetable Rotini Bake With Smoked Sausage

J and I were invited to a potluck barbecue in which I decided I would bring Macaroni and cheese! Who doesn’t love mac-n-cheese? Well I have never loved homemade mac-n-cheese. Most times, it’s stringy, and not very flavorful. Not at all creamy like the boxed macaroni & cheese! So I set out to make a good, creamy Mac-n-cheese that I could bring to the potluck! I … Continue reading Slow Cooker Creamy Velvety Mac-N-Cheese

However, if you are feeling … Continue reading Layered Turkey Enchiladas
