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, when I’m busy, one of my go-to [...]

Friday Favorites – Episode 26

I’m getting a late start on my Friday Favorites this week!  Usually I try to pick my favorites and write my blog post on Thursday evening.  I’m not a last-minute person! I was always the obnoxious kid in school who started researching a term paper the day it was assigned and had it written with a [...]

Mac & Cheese with Baked Heirloom Tomatoes

It’s rough being married to a food blogger…  Just ask my husband.
Honestly, though, he’s a really good sport when it comes to my food blog.  He is willing to try just about anything I make, and rarely complains about things that don’t work out as planned.  He also puts up with my constant photographing (and [...]

Mexican Cabbage Rolls

While this dish was inspired by my beef enchilada recipe, I am not going to try to tell you that cabbage rolls and enchiladas are the same thing. That’s like those diet articles that say to substitute carrot sticks for french fries, a bowl of fruit for a chocolate muffin. If you really [...]

Napoleon: “Well what’s there to eat?”
Grandma: “Knock it off, Napoleon, make yourself a dang quesadilla!”
Napoleon: “Fine!”
I have probably seen that movie 50 times, but I still laugh every time I watch it. And, I annoy everyone I know with quotes [...]

Quick and Easy Taco Dip

If you’re looking for a quick and easy appetizer or side dish, give this taco dip a try. This weekend, I was looking for a quick and easy side dish to go with some corn quesadillas (more details soon), so I whipped up this dish. It was inspired somewhat by the buffalo chicken dip that I frequently [...]

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 least once.  I rarely make pre-packaged, [...]

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 the dish just a bit healthier.  [...]
