This is one of those meals that got me excited when I was young and noticed Mom cooking it. It’s hearty and it makes the house smell terrific. More importantly than anything, it’s delicious! Mom always told me that the secret to this chili is in the stewing beef and she might not be wrong. […]

Sweet N’ Sour Chicken
Originally published on October 11, 2009 I love pairing this recipe with chicken fried rice when I’m in the mood for some good Chinese food. And my kids love it too, which always make any recipe score big with me. And super easy to make! But, you can make it even easier. My best friend makes this […]
Mom’s Lasagna
Originally published on October 25, 2009 This really was the first thing I ever learned to cook. I still remember watching my mom make it in one of the first kitchens I remember. And lasagna night always meant that supper was going to be good! When I became much older, I asked my mom to teach me […]
Pita Chips
Originally published on October 28, 2009 I made these for Maddie’s 2nd birthday party. Everyone loved them so much, I was afraid that I was going to run out – and I used almost 2 full packages of pitas! They are simply delish! You need to make sure though that when you’re cooking them, you […]
Parmesan-Crusted Asparagus
Originally published on October 30, 2009 I made these for Maddie’s second birthday party and honestly, I knew they would be good but I didn’t realize just how heavenly they would be! I hate it when ingredients get lost in a recipe but you can truly taste each and every thing that’s put into these […]
Simple Stuffing
Originally published on November 3, 2009 I had only made turkey stuffing once before making it this time for Thanksgiving. And that first time I made it, it was a total flop. Needless to say, I was holding my breath every step of the way with this one. But, when I pulled it out of […]
Beef Barley Soup
Originally published on November 15, 2009 This recipe is so good and while I didn’t use an actual recipe for it, I can’t say that I came up with it all by myself. It’s beef barley soup for cryin out loud! I hardly invented it! But it’s not too hard to figure out and you […]
Cheesy, Cheesy, Cheesy Broccoli Souffle
Originally published on November 16, 2009 I was really worried when I decided that I was going to tackle a souffle. Especially when I heard that you can’t make any noise or bang around in the kitchen while the souffle is cooking because it will fall and become a big egg mess in the oven. […]
Cabbage Rolls
Originally published on December 3, 2009 Cabbage rolls do take quite a bit of work but it’s always well worth it! I’m the only one who likes them in my family so when I make them, I freeze most of the tray in smaller portions and have them ready for whenever I want them. Instead […]
Spinach and Cheese Puff
Originally published on December 6, 2009 This is a recipe that I got from Martha Stewart’s website and it is fantastic! I actually used goat cheese in place of Gruyere cheese and I think it turned out even better. (I mean really, who doesn’t like goat’s cheese?) It was also super easy to make with all of the […]
