Crescent Ring Chicken Pot Pie

Maybe it’s a mid-western thing, or a manly thing – one of Hubby’s favorite suppers is Pot Pie. He’s not particular, chicken, beef, turkey. He wants the sauce, the pie crust and lots of vegetables.

Velvety Queso Taco Pockets

We’ve talked about Hubby’s love for meaty pies. And his love for Mexican food. This awesome dish bring two of his favorites together. And I gotta say, Kiddo and I were right there with him. After all, it’s Tequila Tuesday, right?

Backyard Barbecue Fun

I know we’ve talked about this before; but it’s worth mentioning again. For those of us stuck at home, we need to count our blessings. Not everyone has a home to be stuck in. And not everyone has the means to put food on the table, should they have a table. If you are among the fortunate ones, while life might seem hard or unfair, we are truly blessed.

Sunday’s Grilled Game Hens

Maybe it’s old-school thinking, but there is just something about chicken and Sundays that, in my mind, naturally go together. Go to church, come home and have a great Chicken Supper. Roast chicken, fried chicken. It really didn’t matter. It was chicken on Sunday.

Buffalo Chicken Braid

Kiddo and I devoured this spicy chicken braid. It was as though we could not get enough. Hubby was a different story.  He felt the bell peppers were too much. But then again, Kiddo and I like bell peppers, while Hubby is not a big fan. He thought instead of bell peppers, we could have used some of the garden peppers from the freezer.

Shrimp Linguine with Tomato Sauce

Doesn’t this look yummy? Yeah, wish I could take the credit for this picture, but in all honesty, I can’t. As I mentioned before, my poor lap top is in the hospital for brain surgery. Until I have my own system up and running again, I am stealing pictures from the world-wide-web rather than down-load my own pictures. Still cooking, still snapping away, just keeping my pictures for another day. Maybe someday soon, I’ll go back and update with my photos.

Cooking Made Easy

If it’s Thursday, it must be Italian – or whatever Thursday means to you. I know this is going to sound crazy, but one of the ways I’m keeping track of the days is with the use of a weekly menu planner. It’s on the refrigerator. I have a little circular magnet that is moved from one day to the next. My family knows what to expect for dinner, and I know what day of the week it is and what I need to prepare.

Simple Mashed Potatoes

There are some very scary things coming across my feeds – chefs teaching people how to make a grilled cheese sandwich. Really, just a simple grilled cheese sandwich. We aren’t talking gourmet cheeses and fancy techniques, we are talking slap some butter on a couple of slices of bread, put American Processed Cheese between the slices and cook on a griddle until golden with the cheese melted.

Slow-Simmer Cilantro Chicken Tacos

Have I mentioned that I love – and I do mean L-O-V-E my Instant Pot. It just sits there, on a table in the corner of my kitchen, waiting to hum to life and bring us something delightfully delicious.  You can do everything from saute to bake to pressure cook or slow-cook. It’s a one-stop shop for so many things.

Slow-Cooker Mongolian Beef over Rice

I have been craving Chinese-Asian food. It is making me crazy. I don’t care what dish we have at this point – Lemon Chicken, Fried Rice, Beef and Broccoli. It all sounds delicious. Hubby and I were talking that I might need to whip up a giant batch of chicken and make different sauces – one Sweet and Sour, one Lemon and one Orange Chicken.

Lemon-Herb Roast Chicken Dinner

So very sorry I’ve been away. My computer (my life!!!) decided to stop functioning. I took it to a repair shop, they ran all sorts of tests, tried CPR and finally had no choice but to pronounce my baby dead. Thank goodness the hard drive was fine. Have ordered a new lap top, but it’s on back order (like everything else) and so I’ve been without a way to connect to the rest of the world. I’m using a friend’s system, so it will be a hit and miss since I won’t always have access, but I’m here for now. I’ve so missed everyone!

Green Chili Four Cheese Enchiladas

Happy Friday! For some of us, that means something – like the end of another grueling work-week. For others, Friday is just another in a long line of endless days. In our house, it means a meatless meal.

Friday and National Cheese Ball Day

Wow – do you realize we are over half-way through April? How the heck did that happen? Oh, I know – it’s flying by because March was unusually long. Am I wrong, or were there something like 200 days in March? I don’t know if time moving swifter is a good thing or a bad thing. I can’t tell anymore if we are running toward a bottomless cliff. Do we hit the breaks or keep on going? Your guess is as good as mine.

The Classics Never Get Old

Don’t you just love it when things come together so perfectly? Right on the heels of Easter, with that delicious ham and all those left-overs is National Eggs Benedict Day. What a great way to utilize at lease some of that ham!

Mushroom Chicken Thighs

Today is the Day of The Mushroom Day. This is not to be confused with National Mushroom Day, October 15 or National Stuffed Mushroom Day, February 4. How many days can fungi have? Looks like at least three to me. Now Stuffed Mushrooms, I get the distinction. But Mushroom Day and Day of the Mushroom – come on now. That’s really pushing it.
