Slow Cooker Sausage & Peppers
This slow cooker sausage and peppers has hints of spiciness from the sausage, heartiness from the ground beef, sweetness from the peppers and onions, and the oh-so-perfect hints of garlic.

Homemade Seasoned French Fries
These crunchy, seasoned french fries are so easy to make at home that you’ll never go back to the frozen bag variety! I was very happy that these fries made Hubs Approved list. He’ll eat just about anything I make, but it’s when he turns to me mid-dinner and says, “hun, this is really good,” [Read More…]
Southwestern Turkey Sloppy Joes
This sloppy joe sandwich has a little bit of everything, with bursts of flavor in each bite! I’m pretty sure I could have guacamole every day and never get sick of it. So I was very happy to slop it on this sandwich (no pun intended). I’m also a huge fan of ground turkey (it’s [Read More…]

Sunday Stuffed Shells with Meaty Tomato Sauce
There’s something so deliciously comforting about macaroni and red sauce on a Sunday. Between the hours of 1 and 3 pm to be exact. It’s one Italian tradition that gives me warm fuzzies and flashbacks to childhood. Growing up, nearly every Sunday morning I woke up to the scent of onions and garlic sauteing in [Read More…]
Cheesy Spinach & Artichoke Dip
There’s nothing better than a cheesy, warm dip at a party (hello, Super Bowl!). I’ve been making this one for years, adapting and tweaking it ever so slightly. When a recipe calls for, say, 2 cloves of garlic… I always add 4 of 5 cloves. I like to think it’s one of my best qualities. [Read More…]
Super Bowl Worthy Guacamole
This guacamole is smooth with little chunks of avocado mixed throughout with a hint of heat from the cayenne, robust flavor from the garlic and crunch from the onion.

We’ve all been in that situation – where you have bottom-of-the-bag broken tortilla chips, maybe half a can of beans, a chunk of cheddar and maybe a spring of green onions or a cup of ground beef just sitting in the fridge.

Slow Cooker Mexican Pulled Pork
Lately I’ve been loving the one-dish and Crock Pot dinners that require a few chops here and there, a sprinkle of this, a smidgen of that. Set the temperature and timer and then tick-tick-tick your food is magically done! This pulled pork recipe is just that. The easiest to throw together, and absolutely amazing to [Read More…]
Pizza with Fresh Mozzarella, Onions, Mushrooms & Bresaola
I love making pizza because the dough is very much like a blank canvas. You can twist a pizza’s ingredients to match any palette – Mexican? Italian? Thai? They’re all possible. Tonight I decided to go the Italian route. Last night we made a run to our local Trader Joe’s and picked up some yummy ingredients, including [Read More…]
