  • Skirt Steak Tacos

    Skirt Steak Tacos

    I debated whether I should add this recipe to my blog because it’s super simple and fast. Great for a weeknight meal and a step up from ground beef tacos. You could use this for a fajita recipe as well but you might want to marinate first. Skirt Steak is typically tough, but with this…

  • Chicken Noodle Veggie Soup

    Chicken Noodle Veggie Soup

    I make this recipe in such a large quantity because it freezes well. Then, when the cook of the house (yours truly) is sick, I can just take one out of the freezer to defrost, put it in a sauce pan, and warm it up. Then I have homemade chicken noodle soup. I add turmeric…

  • Butternut Squash Soup

    Butternut Squash Soup

    I have a secret….I’ve never had any kind of squash soup. In fact, until I started gardening, I had no desire….I mean NONE….to eat squash. I’m particular about how it’s cooked. I don’t like it limp or soggy. It has to have a little bite to it. So, mashing it all into a soup was…

  • Sloppy Joes with a kick!

    Sloppy Joes with a kick!

    My husband likes simple meals. He’s not impressed when I do something fancy. He’s said several times “I don’t do fancy food”. Sloppy Joes definitely aren’t fancy! I couldn’t keep him from sampling this batch from the stove top, either! 😂 Also, this is the perfect thing to whip up when you’re in a time…

    This was a recipe on a whim that I whipped up because I don’t want to waste food, and I was just too lazy to can tomatoes from my garden. So, you know what is delicious and freezes well? (If it makes it to the freezer) Tomato Soup! This recipe is picky-on-his-veggies husband approved! I…

    I stuff chicken all the time; so, I thought “why not stuff a meatloaf?” I mean, that’s normal thinking, right? Seriously, this type of stuff keeps me up at night. When I started this blog, I thought I’d just share recipes that I tried and liked along with my tried and true, but It has…

    We are trying hard to cut some carbs around here, but, man, is it difficult when you want Mexican food several times a week! The good thing is, I have a garden full of fresh veggies this time of year, and spaghetti squash is one of the things I’ve grown that I need to use…
