It's the end of the month, and if you are like me, that grocery budget is pretty tight and you are doing your best to stay on point. Then comes Friday night! You have finally made it to the weekend and, under normal circumstances, you would call up your local pizza place and order in! Howev…

Homemade Biscuits
Is there anything better than a hot and flaky biscuit, fresh FROM the oven? If you are a doubter, I dare say you are in the same canned biscuit boat I was in for years. You see, I had tried and tried to make those big, fluffy biscuits I had seen on TV, but no matter what recipe I tried, they just…

Easy Bow Tie Pasta Salad
So often when it comes to dinner we think heavy protein, some sort of starch, and a vegetable. But let me ask you this. Does it always have to follow that example? I say NO! In fact, sometimes you just want something light, and easy to throw together. That is exactly what we are doing with th…

Greek Salad
I will confess, when it comes to salad I usually just buy the bag and call it done. I know, I know, but look, we can't ALL be Julia Child. *lol* Anyway, the other night we were having some very special guests over and I was making a luscious roasted beef tenderloin with mashed cauliflower. …

Three Cheese Beef and Noodle Casserole
We are a very budget oriented family.
I have a very strict grocery budget each month, and I do my very best to stick to that budget. However, sometimes my artistry in the kitchen gets the best of me and before I know it, we are only half way through the month and I have nearly blown my entire bud…

It's Meatless Monday and I have to say I am really starting to look forward to it each week. So often when we think of meatless or vegan dishes we assume they are full of odd ingredients that will totally break the bank, but what I am finding is that sometimes Meatless Monday is just a matter…

Mashed Cauliflower
I love a good potato. I do. However, and don't throw anything at my for saying this, sometimes I just feel like the potato has been overplayed and I want something a little different. After all, we have all of these fantastic summer produce at our disposal right now. Why are we living in t…

Marinated Grilled Chicken Sandwich w/ Roasted Red Pepper & Goat Cheese
It's almost the weekend and, if you're like me, you are starting to run out of steam. You're not quite ready to order take-out, but you're not going to be making anything fancy...or are you? It is on nights like this that I like to take a few simple ingredients and jazz them up a…

Sweet and Zesty Stuffed Peppers
I LOVE stuffed peppers! I really do! Growing up I always looked forward to the nights we had them for dinner. However, I have to confess that I have not made them as an adult. But, the other day when I was making up my weekly menu I thought stuffed peppers, YES, I want stuffed peppers. I, of …

Eggplant Parmesan
It's a rainy Monday morning in my hometown today. Usually on days like this I would whip up some sort of hearty stew or heavy beef dish, but today is Meatless Monday so I guess I will have to stick to salad right? WRONG! No, in fact, I am going comfort food to the MAX with this AMAZING Eggp…
