I know I’m going Flexitarian for a few weeks but I made these a couple weeks ago before Mr. Foodie left town. Stephanie over at Modern Christian Woman is the one who got me jump started on this one. Did you know bacon could be better than bacon? Did you even know such a thing […]
A couple weeks ago when I cleaned out and organized the main freezer I found yet another baggie of pineapple. It had fallen flat inside the door tray so whenever I reached in I thought I was feeling the bottom of the bin. Still wanting to clean out some of the older stuff I decided […]
Still working off what I have available in the house since I didn’t shop last week I decided to use some leftover ham from the freezer. I started off with one idea, went to another, then another until eventually I ended up with a culinary creation that could have the world’s longest name. Meet The […]
Two things defined my menu for our Easter dinner this year. Use what I have on hand, as much as possible and go traditional. I bought the spiral sliced ham on clearance after Christmas last year and had it in the deep freeze waiting for this meal. In the early phases of planning I was debating on […]
Maybe I shouldn’t have asked that as a question. Maybe I should have stated “You NEED a little Magic in your midweek.” This week I’ve been trying to work through my pantry, fridge and freezer as well as some fresh items in the fruit bowl. I’ve been picking out one or two items I want to […]
Wednesday is leftover or pantry-heat-and-eat night. Since we didn’t have enough leftovers to make a meal out of, that meant a pantry dish. The one thing I wanted to use was some of the potatoes I purchased a couple of weeks ago because they are just starting to turn soft. I also had some leftover shredded cabbage […]
I think it was back around the time of the Super Bowl I saw this floating around Pinterest. It seemed to be pretty popular so I clicked on it to see what the recipe was. The original blogger credits the recipe to King’s Hawaiian, the maker of those little, soft, sweet rolls that are available in […]
Because our freezers stay fairly well stocked I’m able to plan our proteins based on whatever sounds good at the time and try to incorporate them around whatever produce is in season and cheapest at the moment. When I made the menu for this week I was thinking I had boneless loin chops and that […]
Some people watch football, others golf and still others tennis. Mr. Foodie and I watch NASCAR on Sunday and we have certain food traditions that revolve around the sport. YES! It. is. a. sport. The Daytona 500 is always ushered in with Buffalo Wings (although that didn’t happen this year since Mr. Foodie was out of town) as is […]
I saw Ina Garten do this on her cooking show, The Barefoot Contessa, about five years ago and I haven’t cooked bacon on the stove top since. What I love about this technique is I always have bacon at my ready that can be done in one minute or less with no splatter or clean up. […]
Sausage Gravy. A little Sweet. A little Spicy. A whole lotta creamy. And a whole lotta cheap. I love Sausage Gravy. I could drink it with a straw…if it’s done right. Ever get a plate of the stuff and the white mound sitting atop the biscuits is so think it actually jiggles without losing its shape? […]
I was cruising through the recipes at 5 Dollar Dinners and Angie’s Cheesy Pork Chops recipe caught my eye and since I had all the ingredients I added it to our menu last week. I was skeptical because I thought they might come out too bland but sometimes less can be more so I went with it. DH […]
