Some recipes just feel like home. This meatloaf recipe does for me. My mother made it regularly as I was growing up. And it’s funny that when I was a kid, it wasn’t my favorite meal. I just didn’t appreciate it much. I think I would rather have had pizza, hamburgers, and hot dogs. But although I didn’t appreciate it so much when I was a child, I…
I have really wanted to make a slow cooker stuffed pepper soup for a while. I love making slow cooker recipes like this because they are so simple to make. And they don’t require you to spend hours in the kitchen! I was inspired to make this because I really love stuffed peppers. The flavor combination is something I enjoy. And I saw other recipes for a soup…
Who doesn’t love sloppy joes? They make a perfect casual meal or can be a great simple meal for family gatherings, or when you have a group get-together. But most recipes for sloppy joes really can feed a family…or small army! My mom used to make them for casual dinners as well as for when we had family and friends come together for laid-back events. Of course, back…
Cooking real food does NOT need to mean that you should spend hours in the kitchen. And this chicken cacciatore for the slow cooker is proof of that! I am on a mission to show singles that they don’t have to live on takeout food and frozen dinners! You can have healthy, yummy, and delicious meals without having to be a gourmet chef and spending tons of time…
I love quick and easy and during the year I love to make a meal of soup and salad. I’ve wanted to make this Tuscan sausage soup for two for a while because it is not only simple to make but really tasty as well. Since I became single again myself I have really wanted to create a whole lot more recipes that are perfect for one or…
Last night I wanted to fix something from south of the border. But at the same time, I wanted to try something different. So the filling for these black bean and ground beef tacos was perfect…and different than just a ground beef taco filling. Adding the beans also added some great fiber as well as stretching the meal a bit! The result was absolutely fabulous! These black bean…
I am a big fan of homemade chicken salad. So when I grilled out the other night, I grilled an extra chicken breast for me to use for my chicken salad recipe. I simply didn’t want to use canned chicken because there are some additives. I just don’t want to consume them! And homemade chicken salad just tastes so much better when you use freshly grilled chicken instead…
I am all for comfort foods. In fact, there are some nights when you just need food that is comforting to your spirit. But being who I am, I am all for comfort foods that are really easy to make too. I don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. There are just too many other things that need to be done! This slow cooker…
I am always on the hunt for interesting side dishes. Especially side dishes that I can pair with recipes like my salsa chicken. But that recipe can be a little more challenging to pair with a nice side dish. So I experimented with a few different side dishes. Most didn’t work well. But I did create this little Mexican Corn and Bean Casserole that did! It has easy…
Fall is here in South Carolina and the 100-degree temperatures of summer are finally gone! There is a chill in the evening air and it’s the perfect time to start making great fall and winter dishes! I love soups and stews and one of my favorites is this loaded potato soup! This soup is hearty and will definitely warm you up when it’s cold outside! And it’s a…
