Some things are just so ingrained in American Cooking that we take them for granted, not realizing the rest of the world might not have the same convenience of commercially marketed short cuts. Rarely do we bake a cake from scratch, although the boxed variety often needs a helping hand. Pie crusts and Dinner Rolls can come in a box, from the freezer or even in a tube. Wow!

It’s National Hamburger Day!
Did you know that May is National Hamburger Month? I did not know that. Today is actually National Hamburger Day. I’m glad I didn’t know that the entire month was dedicated to the Hamburger. Otherwise; my guys might have insisted on burgers every night.

Did you know that Farfalle means Butterfly? Here in American, we call Farfalle “Bow-Tie” pasta; and I can see that, but Butterfly is so much prettier, don’t you think? Unless you are going for something that sounds more retro; in which case Bow Tie Pasta has a nice ring to it.
Beefy Cowboy Casserole
Maybe it’s all this penned up frustration just itching to get out on the open range that has me in a cowboy frame of mind. What I wouldn’t give to head off to Wyoming right about now, saddle up and hit the trail. Cattle country is calling my name.
Nevada’s Awful Big Day
Today is National Nevada Day. Nevada, the Battle Born State, was grated statehood during the Civil War. The only other state to join during the war was West Virginia. Although today is National Nevada Day, Nevada actually joined the union on October 31, 1864.

Being Home-Bound is what you make it. We can all talk about doom and gloom, fondly remembering the old days when we ignored one another as we went about our day, or we can make the best of things. I’ve had my bouts with the gloomy side of things, and frankly I don’t like it much.
It’s Minnesota Day!
The first of March gave us plenty of National Days to pick from. Dadgum That’s Good Day, Fruit Compote Day, Peanut Butter Lover’s Day and National Pig Day just to name a few. Although I think it would have been in poor taste to roast a pig on a day set aside to honor the intelligence of the pig.
Deep-Dish Pie and Corn Chip Day
Today is National Corn Chip Day. I don’t know about you, but the first thing I think of for Corn Chips is a Frito Pie.
What is an Italian Meatloaf?
When you get right down to it, what is any Meatloaf but a giant meatball shaped like a loaf of bread. So when you think about it, an Italian Meatloaf is nothing new. While Americans slather their meatloaf (and just about anything else) with Ketchup, this Italian rendition uses a Marinara Sauce for that same look.
Slow-Cooker Beef and Scalloped Potato Casserole
Here is it, the second day of the New Year and I’m still wandering around amazed that it’s now 2020. Maybe it’s me, maybe it’s my age but it seems so strange to me. What about you?

Ground Beef Goulash Casserole
First I want to begin with a stern warning – this recipe will make a mountain of goulash. It you need to feed a crowd or want to bring something simple to a pot luck, this is the dish to make. If not, plan on left overs.
Spicy Two Meat-Bean Tostadas
What is a tostada but Nachos on a giant tortilla chip? In our house, Nachos are awesome. We have nachos for game night, or just because we like eating with our fingers. So giant nachos with a pitcher of Margarita were perfect for a Tijuana Tuesday.
Amazing Pepper Jack Sizzling Burgers
Imagine how thrilled my guys were when they saw Burgers on our meal planner. Burgers! They could not believe their eyes. I was going to cook up normal, everyday burgers. Huh, I don’t think so!
Beefy Cast Iron Skillet Nachos
This is a cast iron dish that is still a work in progress. I wasn’t even going to share it just yet, especially since I just gave you a No-Bean Nacho recipe last week. After much consideration and debate, I decided to go ahead and share. Maybe you have some ideas that would help this casual skillet supper hit its mark.
No Bean Cheesy Beef Nachos
There are National Days (for America) and International Days to celebrate. Sometimes, the National and International Days are one and the same. Sometimes the National Days exist only in America. Still other days are different depending upon the calendar used.
