I love chilly, damp spring evenings. It’s one last excuse to make a big pot of soup before the hot summer days set in. This loaded potato soup is one of the best soups I’ve had in a long time. It was creamy and so full of flavor. Just what I have been craving lately. [...]

Chicken, broccoli and rice bake
I seriously have a thing for chicken and rice casseroles. I’m not sure why. It’s kind of weird. Most women say I have a thing for shoes, hand bags, tall, dark and handsome men. Yeah, I go around saying I have a thing for chicken and rice casseroles. My family is so proud. But seriously, [...]
Pimento Cheese
I grew up in Montana. Montana’s don’t eat pimento cheese. When I moved down south everyone ate pimento cheese. I found it odd and unappealing. Oh how wrong I was! This is Jonathan’s mom’s recipe and I adore it. In small doses, of course. This is a special treat. I love it most on [...]
Stuffed Shells
This is one of my favorite weeknight dinners to fix. It is simple, fast to make and relatively inexpensive. Add a salad for a well-rounded meal. When I make this I usually do not add meat to my marinara sauce. It’s just an added expense and we all enjoy it just the same without it. [...]
Cheesy Wild Rice and Broccoli Bake

I love it. I also love broccoli and melted cheese. There is just something about that combo that makes me melt. Adding [...]

It [...]
Creamy Broccoli and Noodle Soup
You would never guess it’s the middle of November around here. It was almost 70* yesterday!!! I’m totally loving it. It’s cool enough to make soup and yet I can still run out in my flip flops! Perfect! I made this soup on a whim the other night. I was craving something nourishing, warm [...]

My favorite Breakfast Sandwich
To me breakfast symbolizes so many things; home, comfort, nourishment, a fresh start. I love breakfast foods and it’s the one meal that will always hold a special place in my heart. I long for the weekend just so my family and I can sit down and enjoy breakfast together. During the week we are [...]
The Best Enchiladas
These enchiladas were the highlight of my day. I have never enjoyed a meal as much as I did this one. They left me licking my plate (I do mean literally)…Poor Ava was sitting there looking at me lick my plate clean with a strange, quiet look on her face. I know she was thinking [...]
