My husband loves to grill, and for a while he seemed to receive a new grilling cookbook for each holiday. While flipping through one, I found a recipe for something I’d never heard of: grilled pizza. Who knew you could make pizza from scratch on the grill? We had to try this! Our favorite crust… Continue reading Grilled Pizza

{Man-Friendly} Grilled Steak Salad
A few days ago I tried to figure out how to combine my husband’s love of steak with my desire for a good salad. This {Man-Friendly} Grilled Steak Salad is the result. I foresee us grilling this salad often this summer. It’s a quick and easy dinner that keeps all the heat out of the… Continue reading {Man-Friendly} Grilled Steak Salad
Ham, Green Beans, & Potatoes
This is an incredibly simple meal that apparently people don’t make here in the South. It reminds me of home, though, of the farms and the Amish and the mountains of Pennsylvania, and it’s a great way to use leftover ham. I love this meal because it’s fairly healthy and incredibly easy to pull together… Continue reading Ham, Green Beans, & Potatoes
Easy Bolognese Sauce
Spaghetti sauce has always fascinated me. I have this picture in my head of a fancy kitchen full of Italian women wearing aprons and singing as they dance around, chopping and stirring gourmet foods. (Fun image, huh?) Only problem? I’m Scot-Irish and Swiss-German and a whole lot American. As far as I know, there’s not… Continue reading Easy Bolognese Sauce
Chili
I love to make chili. It’s one of those meals that you can make all in one pot – or not – and can throw all kinds of things into it and still have it turn out great. In this case, it’s full of fresh veggies and is comparatively low on meat, making it a… Continue reading Chili
Chicken Taco Chili
The weather has finally turned cold here, and with busy Christmas plans all through the day, I’m ready for steamy comfort foods. Even more importantly, though, I need dinners that I can pull together quickly so that my kitchen – and my hands – are free for other things. So this week I created… Continue reading Chicken Taco Chili
Cheesy Chicken Taquitos
I’ve felt stuck in a dinnertime rut lately. With a crazy busy school calendar and baseball season picking up steam, there hasn’t been a lot of time for playing around with new recipes to climb out of it, either. Until one day last week when we had a free evening, and I decided to play… Continue reading Cheesy Chicken Taquitos
Cheesesteak-Stuffed Peppers
When I saw this recipe on Pinterest a few weeks ago, I knew this was an idea I needed to try. After scanning the recipe, I realized that it used ingredients I don’t keep on hand, so I decided to make up my own – and this is what I got. I must confess that… Continue reading Cheesesteak-Stuffed Peppers
Crazy Cooking Challenge #1: Cheeseburger Mac ‘n’ Cheese
When I went hunting for a good mac ‘n’ cheese recipe for this Crazy Cooking Challenge, I wanted something different. Something tasty and hearty that would maintain the cheesy goodness of traditional mac ‘n’ cheese, but that would stand out in a crowd. I found it. I made Cynthia Matzat’s Cheeseburger Mac and Cheese. This mac… Continue reading Crazy Cooking Challenge #1: Cheeseburger Mac ‘n’ Cheese
Betsy’s Baked Mac ‘n’ Cheese
I love to make mac ‘n’ cheese, but I’m not always very patient with the process of it. Cook pasta, create sauce, blend together, be sure there’s enough, put in dish, top, bake, etc. So when my friend Betsy posted this recipe, I was very excited to try it. You start with dry pasta,… Continue reading Betsy’s Baked Mac ‘n’ Cheese
