Easy Hot Dog Potato Skillet Supper

Happy Saturday Everyone. Just to bring you up to speed on life in California, things are a bit strange. The entire state is in a “lock down” – sort of. Grocery stores are open (good luck there); as are gas stations, banks, restaurants for carry-out only. We are staying at home, going out only when it is absolutely necessary.

Instant Pot Taco Pork Chops

In our house, Tuesdays are Tijuana Night – anything with a Mexican influence goes. So recently I decided to get a little creative with my Instant Pot. I’ll be honest, didn’t have a clue as to how these chops would fair. One word – delicious!

Unbelievably Easy Cod Fish Tacos

I think I’ve mentioned it a time or three, but Hubby loves his Mexican Foods. Darn near anything Mexican is delicious in his book. I’m really not sure where that comes from since he grew up in the Midwest, of German-Russian stock.

Break Out Those Bread Pans!

As some of you may know, things in America are a little crazy. I don’t know about the rest of the world’s Toilet Paper and non-perishable food supply, but here we have officially lost our minds.

Chicken Spinach Skillet Pie

Irish Whiskey Mini Flute Cakes

Surprise surprise – decided to go with something Irish after all. I can’t stand this feeling of doom and gloom. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am avoiding much of the news reports with all their speculation. I’ll look to the CDC and WHO for updated, but I’m not going to dwell on things. At least not today.

Slow-Cooker Pulled Pork Chili

I know, you were excepting something Irish. After all, it is Saint Patrick’s Day and National Irish Food Day. I must confess, I wasn’t much in the mood for the usual over-the-top craziness that most Americans embrace on Saint Patrick’s Day. Like the rest of the world, I was thinking about hunkering down.

All Hail the Artichoke!

Did you know that yesterday was Everything You Think is Wrong Day? Wow – glad I didn’t know that or I might have thought twice about stocking up on Mai Tai mix now that we’re sticking close to home. With all the street fairs and festivals and spring is coming celebrations canceled, now seemed a good time to restock the bar. Gosh, that sounds bad, doesn’t it?

Something Different for Saint Patty’s Day

This year, with all the public gatherings canceled, it looks like tomorrow’s Saint Patrick’s Day is going to be a somber time. Interesting since for most of Ireland, it’s a religious holiday. Families attend Mass, and then spend quality time together. They aren’t dying their rivers green or having giant balloons of Leprechauns floating above their city streets. So I guess the rest of the world will be taking Emerald Isle approach to Saint Patrick’s Day.

Can You Guess What Day It Is?

On this day, we celebrate The Sunflower State, better known as Kansas. The vast plains of Kansas became a part of the United States territory with the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. This would forever change the lives of the Cherokee, Osage, Pawnee and other tribes as expansion pushed westward.

Sheet Pan Fried Chicken with Biscuits

Who doesn’t like Chicken and Biscuits? Talk about homey-comfort food! While we didn’t always have mashed potatoes with our fried chicken, you can bet there were biscuits on the table. But then, my Pops made the best biscuits on the planet, hands down.
