Easy Sausage and Pepper Sauce Recipe

Easy Sausage and Pepper Sauce Recipe
Pantry cooking is very popular right now.  I think it's mainly because we are all trying to save money and what better way to do that than to use what you already have on hand.  I have found, in my own home, that I'm able to keep my grocery bill pretty reasonable by practicing this.  It als…

Around the holidays I love making fun, festive food with my son.  I know we all tend to gravitate towards sweets, but Camden is more of a savory kind of kid.  I was scrolling through TikTok and saw someone make a candy cane danish out of crescent rolls and I thought to myself this would also make a…

I've really been working hard to use the food that I have unknowingly collected over the last few months (don't act like you don't know what I am talking about.  We all do it.) to cut down on the amount of money that I have been spending at the grocery store.  It's been fun because…

Crockpot Sauerkraut Sausage and Potatoes Recipe

Crockpot Sauerkraut Sausage and Potatoes Recipe
Sauerkraut and sausage is nothing new under the sun.  Growing up is was just simply throw it all in a pot with some water and call it done.  There is nothing wrong with that.  However, I like to really utilize my spice cabinet and elevate these simple dishes that I grew up with and make them just a…

Cheesy One Pot Sausage and Noodle Skillet Recipe
I think it is safe to say are all feeling the pinch at the grocery store these days.  What used to feed my family three meals a day for a week barely covers essentials.  Throw that on top of being a busy working parent and things get a little stressful.  That is why I love simple and inexpensive, o…

Crockpot Smothered Pork Chops Recipe

Crockpot Smothered Pork Chops Recipe
West Virginia isn't what I would classify as a southern state, we did secede after all. However, we very much so have a southern culture which shines through in our food.  For example, we like to smother just about anything with gravy.  Why?  BECAUSE IT'S DELICIOUS and this Crockpot Smothe…

Crockpot Kielbasa and Pierogi Casserole Recipe
Do you know why I love Crocktober so much?  It's because I find myself working with ingredients that I wouldn't normally use.  Take pierogies for example.  Sure, I've had them at polish markets when I travel, but they're not something that I've ever really worked with in my kit…

So, do y'all want to hear a funny story about me?  Okay, here it goes.  Growing up, I RARELY ate anything out of a can or box.  I was lucky in the sense that my parents were AMAZING cooks and made meals from scratch every night. That being said, I never got to try things like Shake and Bake.  …
