    Slow Cooker Sausage Onions and Peppers

    May 13, 2015 - By 

    Have you ever had sausage onions and peppers? This dish is super simple and is for the slow cooker too! If you like sausage, I’m sure it will be a new favorite! Yep, it was time to break out the slow cooker again! No, I’m not lazy, but even Julia Child said…. “You don’t have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces – just good food from fresh ingredients” Well, that’s what I’m doing. Sometimes I do enjoy being in the kitchen for hours creating something gastronomically great. But I have a life too, and so I don’t want being in…

    Slow Cooker Sausage Gumbo

    April 29, 2015 - By 

    When it comes to spicy food, there are two crowds…those that love it and those that don’t. I am fond of a little heat in my food, and so I love creating spicy new dishes to try. This sausage gumbo is really simple to prepare because it is primarily a throw and go slow cooker recipe…and you know how I absolutely adore those!  This recipe is great during the cool fall, winter, and early spring days….but if you really love it, you can certainly fix it during the summer since it won’t heat up your kitchen, just your mouth! If…

    Yes, I am the queen of the casserole! It’s because I grew up on them, and so to me, they really are comfort food! When I found this classic favorite in my recipe box, I knew I had to give it a real food makeover! I used to make it all the time because it was so good! I think you will enjoy it as much as I do! When it comes to finding meals that are easy to fix and that work well for families who are active, casseroles really fit the bill nicely. This cheesy ground beef casserole…

    Easy No Bake Ball Cookies

    April 23, 2015 - By 

    When it comes to making recipes, the easier it is, the better it is for me! And these easy no-bake ball cookies are not only easy but really tasty as well! When you make a batch of these, they will not last long! I really made these because I was wanting a little something sweet, but had nothing in the house. I try not to keep candy, ice cream or store-bought baked goods in the house because they just don’t make me feel great. I just find that homemade goodies are easier on my digestion. So I whipped up these…

    Spinach Sausage Pasta

    April 22, 2015 - By 

    I have to admit that I love creating dishes! Now, that didn’t use to be the case, because I wasn’t always so confident experimenting while cooking. Of course, that really isn’t a surprise because, for most of my adult life, I didn’t do much cooking. I suspect this is true for a lot of single adults still. I relied mostly on frozen dinners and takeout for my meals. It was all primarily convenience food. I actually started cooking more during my marriage after I discovered real food and how healing and tasty it could be. But now that I’m single…

    It’s football season! I have had a few people ask about some great snack foods that are perfect for any tailgating parties. So the first recipe I created was a taco dip that can be used with veggies or homemade baked tortilla chips. It is rich and creamy and healthy too! If you like things spicy, then feel free to add a little cayenne pepper to kick things up a notch. You can use our homemade taco seasoning for this recipe! I love that it has only two ingredients! Yep, that’s it! You can whip up a batch of this…
