The weather has been extremely hot lately, almost too hot to do any cooking in the house. Rather than battle our failing air conditioner with a burning hot stove, we took the heat outside to the grill to try some new marinades on our favorite meats. Thanks to Lawry's, made famous by their tasty seasoned salt that we use for just about everything, we received this incredible grilling kid that included … [Read more...]

It is no secret that I love cooking in the Crock Pot. Just toss in a few ingredients, pop the lid on and everything cooks while you go about your day. What I've realized though is I need a bigger crock pot. We love cooking large meals that can be stored as leftovers but with our current standard size slow cooker, we just can't fit the extras in. So now I'm on the hunt for the biggest slow cooker on … [Read more...]

By tossing a few ingredients into the crock pot in the morning, I can have a beautiful meal by the afternoon without stressing over the hot stove. A slow … [Read more...]
While it's always fun to stick with traditional stuffed peppers, sometimes your schedule dictates that you think outside the pepper.

With that said, I was just too tired after a day of playing with the kids and cleaning to bother … [Read more...]
Think Sloppy Joe without all of the slop! The Western Loose Meat sandwich is very similar but so much better and just as easy to make. I don't know why I originally threw these ingredients together but I'm guessing it was a night that we had Sloppy Joe's planned but I had forgotten to pick up the "slop" from the grocery store. These are perfect paired up with mac n cheese or steak fries! Ingredients … [Read more...]
With my birthday just around the corner, I've been spending a lot of time reflecting on past years. The one thing that stands out the most is my favorite birthday meal ever - Chicken Parmesan from Olive Garden.

Which of course led to my own little twist on the classic Chicken … [Read more...]
