    Greek Burger (Recipes for Two)

    June 26, 2017 - By 

    There’s nothing quite like a juicy burger….especially if you use fresh, pasture-raised beef. Homemade burgers are one of my summertime go-to meals because they are really simple to make. I like that I can make them on the stovetop or grill them. And I have this great countertop grill that I love to use! I’ve been wanting to experiment with some different flavors in my burgers. I wanted to try some feta cheese in a burger because it’s a favorite of mine, and decided to create this Greek burger. It really had an amazing flavor! I didn’t have to use…

    Mom’s Homemade Meatloaf

    June 19, 2017 - By 

    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 love it now. It is classic comfort food for me. And it reminds me of my mom’s love. She cooked homemade meals for our family every night. It was rare for us…

    Doesn’t everyone like pizza? I sure do. And once in a while I just need to whip together a pie and enjoy! Of course, one night when I was craving a pizza, I was pulling out all of the ingredients and realized that I didn’t have any pizza sauce. Of course, I also try to do as much as I can to do everything from scratch. So I created this homemade pizza sauce recipe…and it turned out really well! The best part was that I knew exactly what was going into it! No label reading or hidden ingredients that I…

    Cheddar Bacon Ranch Chicken

    Let’s face it, cooking for one can be a challenge! I deal with that myself every single day! So many singles opt to grab fast food, restaurant takeout, or less than healthy convenience foods. But cooking for one can be easy. Especially when you have super simple recipes that you can turn to instead! I always recommend having 10-20 easy recipes that you can turn to that are simple to prepare. Those that don’t require a lot of prep time will help you to eat healthier home-cooked meals more often. This cheddar bacon ranch chicken recipe is easy AND has…

    Slow Cooker Stuffed Pepper Soup

    May 30, 2017 - By 

    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 version and was intrigued. So often I hear that one of the main reasons people continue to eat packaged, processed and fast food is that it is quick and convenient. And it…
