    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…

    Sloppy Joes (Recipes for Two)

    May 18, 2017 - By 

    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 in the day she usually used canned pre-made sauce to make them. But that sauce always makes me feel pretty yucky! And that’s why I decided to make a homemade version! I…

    Tuscan Sausage Soup (Recipes for Two)

    May 4, 2017 - By 

    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 two people. A lot of times I make the recipes for two so that I have leftovers for lunch the next day. I love to pair this with a Greek Salad for…

    Black Bean and Ground Beef Tacos

    October 20, 2016 - By 

    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 and ground beef tacos will always be a regular part of my meal rotation now. It’s also a quick, easy, and filling meal to make! I typically use gluten-free tortillas with this…

    Homemade Chicken Salad (Recipes for Two)

    October 17, 2016 - By 

    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 of canned. So today, I cut my cooked chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.  I put them in my food processor and pulsed it until it was broken down into smaller pieces. And…
