Apple Cheddar Quesadillas

As I mentioned in my #10in10 update post yesterday, last week ended up being pretty busy for me.  I've mentioned before that I'm not a real big fan of cold food, especially in winter.  So, for me, the usual lunch salads and sandwiches aren't usually too appealing.  Instead, ...

Sometimes you just need tater tots…

Last year, I asked my husband what he would like me to make him for dinner for his birthday.  He replied, "Tater Tots."  At first I thought he was joking...  Nope, he was serious. My husband is a good sport and will try just about anything that I cook at ...

Hearty Mac and Cheese

This weekend, I was reminded that it is still winter.  Sunday was a cold, windy day with flurries flying in the air - a perfect day for macaroni and cheese! When I make macaroni and cheese, I often add cooked butternut squash.  It helps to thicken the sauce and makes ...
