One Saturday morning, I awoke to realize I had forgotten to take the Chuck Roast from the freezer. There was no way to make my planned Zesty Slow-Cooker Italian Pot Roast. Hubby so enjoys a good pot roast. Instead of kicking myself, I decided there was more than one way to cook a Chuck Roast.

The Simplicity of Thyme-Dill Carrots
Sometimes I think we don’t do enough to make sure vegetables are a part of our daily diet. And no, French Fries don’t count even if you do leave the skins on.
Instant Pot Nugget Chicken Cacciatore
On the weekly planner for Tuscan Thursday (aka anything Italian) was my Nugget Chicken Cacciatore. It’s a favorite in our house. Naturally, I had done my shopping with that recipe in mind. But then a light came on . . .
Super Bowl Sandwich Station
I am the queen of reusing most things. Very little ever gets tossed away. And with good reason.
Mini Corn Dog Muffins are Big on Flavor
Are you a fan of corn dogs? I love them. Have you ever made corn dogs at home from scratch without a deep fryer? Mine have been less than I had hoped. The batter, although delicious, tended to slid off the dog. Scratch from-scratch corn dogs off my list.
Spanish Sweet Bread Fit for a King
When it comes to Kings Cake or Kings Breads or anything to do with the Magi, we tend to think Mardi Gras. That’s fine, Mardi Gras marks the end of the Carnival Season, and the transition to the Lenten Season.
The Epiphany and the Feast of the Three Kings
“Arise! Shine, for your light has come, the glory of the Lord has dawned upon you.”
– Isaiah 60:1
In some parts of the world, today is known as the Epiphany of the Lord. In other parts, it’s the Feast of the Three Kings and still others it’s the end of the Twelve Days of Christmas. These are all good reasons to celebrate the day for they are all parts of the same feast day.

Starting the Year off Right with an Instant Pot of Beans
This year, Hubby gave me an Instant Pot for Christmas. I gotta tell you, I had real mixed emotions when I opened that gift. Don’t get me wrong, I was thrilled to get something new to cook with. But at the same time, I was leary. I’ve never used a pressure cooker of any kind.

Irish Hot Chocolate with Whipped Cream
Add a little whipped cream to just about anything and suddenly you’ve gone from ho-hum to pizzaz. Add some brandy to whip cream topped hot chocolate, and we are celebrating National Whipped Cream Day the Irish way.
It’s National Spaghetti Day!
Here me shout – it’s National Spaghetti Day! Like I needed an excuse to whip up a big batch of anything Italian. And a sauce that percolates in the crock pot all day – oh yeah!
Feast Day of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton
Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton was born on August 28, 1774 to wealth and social prominence in New York City. She was the first person born in what would become the United States of America to be canonized by the Roman Catholic Church. Today, 199 years since her death, is the Feast Day of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton.
Friday’s Spicy Calamari Linguine
When Kiddo was just a wee little kiddo, he moved through the world like a little adult. He traveled with us everywhere, and developed a taste for the finer establishments. Unfortunately, by the time he was a teenager, his tastes changed. It was pizza and burgers and greasy-spoon dives. Typical teenage things.
Enjoy a Baileys Shamrock Shake through a Straw
Looking for a little inspiration for today’s post, I turned to the National Day list. Hum, we had Chocolate Covered Cherries, Fruitcake Toss Day and Drink with a Straw. I don’t know about you, but after the holidays I’m all candied out. Tossing a fruitcake about might be fun, but we’ve eaten ours. So Drink with a Straw it is.

The Magic of a Child’s Heart
Here’s to hoping that everyone had a wonderful Christmas. It’s been a while since I’ve had a good rant. So before the madness of the holidays fades too much, here goes . . .
Slow-Cooker Ham and Wild Rice Soup
Did you cook up a lovely Christmas Ham? Or maybe you served up a Ham to ring in the New Year. And now you are looking for something to make to take advantage of all that delicious left over meat. Then have I got some ideas for you.
