This recipe was not only easy, but it got a standing ovation from C.J. It will definitely be something that appears on our weekly menu again. It would also be a great food for a friendly get together. Cheesy. Bacon-y. Crescent-y. Goodness. Ingredients 4 slices bacon, cut into 1/4-inch pieces 1 lb lean ground beef 1/4 cup… Continue reading Bacon Cheeseburger Calzones

Lasagna is delicious. Yes, it is a bit of work to put together, but it is worth it in the end. My obstacle in making lasagna is that C.J. does not care for ricotta or cottage cheese and he doesn’t like a ton of sauce on his foods. I finally decided to try to tackle… Continue reading Lasagna
Panera mac and cheese is some of the best “fast” food pasta dishes out there. It is creamy and delicious…but also a little on the expensive side and you never get as much as you actually want. Well…with this copycat recipe you can make a mac and cheese dish that rivals Panera’s! I was a… Continue reading “Panera” Mac & Cheese
Let me start this post by saying that I have absolutely no idea why this dish is called “porcupines”…it is a dish of beef, rice, tomatoes, and cheese. No road kill in my kitchen! This meal is simple and delicious. It is as close to Tex-Mex or Mexican food that I can make for… Continue reading Porcupines in the Skillet

Growing up we ate goulash probably once every two weeks or so. My dad really enjoyed it, it was something that my mom could make a lot of (leftovers!), and it is super easy. This recipe is a tad bit different from the goulash I ate growing up, but the main ingredients are all… Continue reading Goulash

Fall weather brings out crockpot season. I suppose that for some people crockpot season is year round…but not in our house. I know that it is silly, but I feel lazy using a crockpot. I’m not saying that it is lazy…I just feel weird not “slaving away” over the stove to make a delicious meal… Continue reading Crockpot Ravioli
A couple Sundays ago our church (if you missed that update, read about it here) hosted a fellowship Sunday followed by a potluck. I have never met a person who didn’t love a potluck and C.J. and I are no different. We were so excited for the event. I planned a couple weeks in advance… Continue reading Potluck Mac & Cheese
