As I mentioned in the Sloppy Joe’s post last week…We made a lot of sloppy joe’s! Maybe too much for the amount of people we had over. What this means for me is that I had lunches at work all week that surrounded Sloppy Joe meat. It’s a good thing this turned out awesome!…

White Bean Leek Soup
One day while looking through the history of this blog, I noticed that I may need to diversify a bit on what I make. I really do like making new things, but I’ve been noticing a lot of those new things involve the same old things…mainly chicken. There is a good reason for that and…
Sloppy Joe’s
‘This house makes the best Sloppy Joe’s!’ That is a comment that makes me the happy creator of the Sloppy Joe’s. It is always good to get the thumbs up from the kids. I made this for the small Super Bowl swaray at our house and there are no pictures during the process because I…
Brown Sugar & Garlic Chicken
Vow to myself…try to use the slow cooker more. Yes, it does take some planning, but it is soooooo easy and makes the week nights so much more productive for other things…like looking for more recipes to try out. hehehe But really, I don’t know that I have had a slow cooker recipe not turn…
Home Made Pasta
So…confession time…this is not my first attempt at home made pasta. The first attempt was over a year ago and…as the kids would say these days…it was an epic fail. It resulted in me taking some time away from the idea of making my own pasta. That first attempt was brought on by this beautiful cookbook on…
Baked Mac & Cheese

I came across this website some time back…
Bolognese with Polenta
Here it comes ladies and gentleman…another time consuming, but absolutely delicious-I’m-going-back-for-seconds-and-maybe-thirds kind of dinner! For my birthday, the wonderful man who is sleeping next to me and his daughter gave me a cookbook. I had seen the chef before, primarily as a judge on the Iron Chef, but wasn’t familiar with her as a cook….
Simple Stove Top Chicken Dinner
An old saying that is thrown around, but not always heeded is: ‘Some times less is more.’ In this case, the less can be more appealing because it’s simple to put together, easy to cook and leaves you with a quite tasty finished product. I like dinners like this for those nights that you would…
Cider Brined & Glazed Turkey
I had the pleasure of enjoying two Thanksgivings last year. One in the Twin Cities and one in my hometown. The one in the Twin Cities was a large pot luck with many people and LOTS of food. The one in my home town involved me creating the menu and really getting to try some…
Hawaiian Pulled Pork Pizza
If you have been keeping up on my posts, then you probably can see where this came from and maybe even where this is headed. If you haven’t, well…check out this past post to see how to use your slow cooker to make mighty tasty pulled pork. Even though there were a large number of…
