When J and I were in Paris, we were treated to an amazing authentic French dinner in which the opening course was a fluffy flakey quiche! It was so scrumptious! We have been wanting it again! So for Valentine’s Day I decided to make a special breakfast and try to make a quiche! This was not planned, so I just went with what I had … Continue reading Simple "Make it your way" Quiche

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! (If you are like me, meals for your vegetarian friends usually consist of a pizza, or fettuccine Alfredo! Totally boring for them I’m sure!) So here is what you will … Continue reading Fresh Vegetable Rotini Bake With Smoked Sausage

Many people have problems with them– either burning them or they are not done enough. The secret to good fried potatoes is time! They need time to … Continue reading Fried Potatoes – Step by Step

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

My mom was having a dinner the other night and needed an idea for something quick and easy. I gave her this! It’s an easy, fool-proof enchilada that tastes amazing! You can use turkey or chicken for this. I like to get the deli turkey breast or chicken at the grocery store, so I’ll use which ever one they have. However, if you are feeling … Continue reading Layered Turkey Enchiladas

Sometimes you just need something simple and good for dinner! The past couple weeks have been just that! J loves spaghetti….I, not so much! So the other day he made himself some spaghetti and I made these pepperoni crescents for me! Pizza is one of my favorite foods….any kind, any way I can get it! I love this recipe. It’s so simple! I would eat … Continue reading Pepperoni Crescents

When you eat meat as much as we do, eating it plain gets boring real fast! I am always looking for new ways to add flavor to meat! I found this recipe idea on SkinnyTaste. (her recipe) We tried it once and were hooked! It’s delicious, and light! I like to make a double batch to have extra to put on the potatoes that J has … Continue reading Pork Chops {and dijon pan sauce}

I have not had popcorn balls in forever! When one of the bloggers I follow posted this idea, I thought they would be the perfect treat to send with J to work tomorrow, on Halloween! I saw them posted by Ree Drummond of The Pioneer Woman. You may have heard of her– she has a little show on The Food Network. 😉 She just released … Continue reading Popcorn Balls! {For Halloween}
