Dumpling Soup

This is a quick dumpling soup that can be ready to serve in about 15 minutes. As long as you have a few pantry staples and some frozen dumplings your good to go! Thin slices of onion either half moon or quarter depending on how you like your soup goodies. I did big long peels […]

Appetizers, Cheese

Fried Onion and Pepper Cheese Dip

This is an warm cheesy dip that is great on tortilla chips, tacos or on burgers and sandwiches. It takes a little time to make, but most of the time is inactive cooking time. But first things first, take the cream cheese out of the fridge. It has to be room temperature to mix well. […]

Bloomin’ Onion Sauce

If you have ever been to an Outback Steakhouse you have had a Bloomin’ Onion, it’s in the rules. Because unless you have a deep fryer at home you just can’t make one the same on your own. It’s a rather simple sauce that you can change up to suit your preference. This is the […]

Dinner

Enchiladas!

Enchiladas, mexican comfort food. They don’t have to be complicated to be good. Ground meat, tortillas, cheese and enchilada sauce. That’s it. Saute 2 pounds of ground meat. I went with ground beef but you could also use ground pork or turkey if that’s your thing. Be sure to drain the meat if its needed. […]

Traditional Lasagna

Homemade lasagna. Lasagna is an intimidating dish that really shouldn’t be. It does however take some planning to make a traditional lasagna. This isn’t something your going to throw together at the last minute for dinner tonight. I used homemade lasagna noodles in this recipe, you can find that recipe here. No, I’m not not […]

Bread

Easy French Bread

The smell of fresh bread in the oven is down right amazing. Bread can be intimidating to make but it really isn’t that difficult. This easy french bread recipe only takes about an hour so go for it! I always like to start bread by proofing the yeast. It isn’t necessary all of the time […]

Dinner

Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Cauliflower pizza crust. It’s a lower carb flour free option for scratching that pizza itch. It won’t replace the typical pizza crust, but it is a great way to switch it up! Mix up the dried riced cauliflower and all of the ingredients. If your looking to change it up feel free to add some […]

Old School Apple Crisp

There are some recipes that just scream fall, apple crisp is definitely one of them. Its a simple dish to pull together and can be a side or a dessert. The photos show more than the recipe makes, this was for a party so I doubled it. All the work is in the apples. Everything […]

Italian Ravioli Soup
Dinner, Soup

Italian Ravioli Soup

This Italian Ravioli soup is an easy way to change up the usual pasta night. Add in a few extra veggies and the kids won’t even notice, hopefully! Add the sausage to a large pot and brown. Break it up as it’s cooking. After the sausage gets some color to it add in the onions […]
