    Southwestern Salad with Cilantro Lime Dressing (Recipes for Two)

    March 7, 2016 - By 

    I just love spring in the south! Today was in the ’70s and I had all of the windows and doors open to air out the house. I worked in the back yard for a while and enjoyed being in the sunshine and getting some fresh air. And since I mowed the lawn, I get to enjoy the smell of fresh-cut grass….mmmmm. Perfect day for a salad like this southwestern salad! When the weather starts warming up I find that I begin to crave more fresh fruits and vegetables. And I love salads! I do have to be careful because…

    Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breast (Recipes for Two)

    February 16, 2016 - By 

    You may have noticed that I haven’t been around as much over the past few months. A lot has changed in my life at that time. My husband I separated permanently and I moved back into my home. My divorce was finalized at the end of January and I took back my maiden name. I also got a full-time job as a blogger and social media manager for a great company out of California. Working full time has prevented me from being as active here as I would like, but now that I’ve learned the ropes at my new job,…

    Taco Baked Potato (Recipes for Two)

    August 25, 2015 - By 

    Sometimes recipes that come from desperation can end up being brilliant…and we won’t talk about the other times! Luckily, this taco baked potato recipe was one of the brilliant ones! I am really focused on simple, quick meals that are really tasty, but different than my usual rotation of meals. Unfortunately, those can get a little boring, which is not good. I am also working to eat far fewer grains (which is much better for my tummy), and still, be able to enjoy some of the flavors that I really love. This recipe was created because I just didn’t know…

    Slow Cooker Beef and Butternut Squash Stew (Recipes for Two)

    March 9, 2015 - By 

    Have you ever made a butternut squash stew? This was my first time, and I was happy that I did! In fact, I only tried butternut squash for the first time a couple of years ago. We never really used any of the winter squash when I was growing up, so I guess I’d never really thought about using them. I really like butternut and acorn squash, though. I have to admit that I haven’t really been using butternut squash a lot in recipes, but I have wanted to include it more. Being single, butternut squash can go a long…

    Shepherd’s Pie (Recipes for Two)

    January 14, 2015 - By 

    I’m always looking for dishes that are really simple to make, but healthy and yummy. I had never tried Shepherd’s Pie before, but it looked really yummy, so I looked at several different recipes, and created mine from there. This is a great cold-weather dish, that is full of great veggies. Shepherd’s Pie is a classic British casserole that combines ground beef or lamb, mixed vegetables, and mashed potatoes. It does have a little bit longer prep time than what I normally prefer, but it is definitely worth a little extra work.  One thing that you can do to speed…

    Ground Beef and Brown Rice Casserole

    January 7, 2015 - By 

    I am so glad to find some ways to use brown rice in this ground beef and brown rice casserole. This dish seems simple, but it’s rich in taste! I know that some people aren’t fond of casseroles, but I don’t belong to that club. I mean, what is better than a whole meal in one casserole dish? Of course, I was raised on a collection of different casseroles, so I think I was taught to appreciate the art of casseroling. These days, I like to give casseroles a makeover, converting them from meals filled with processed foods to luscious,…
