Quick Homemade Taco Seasoning
As I was making my coffee this morning, Paige emerged from her bedroom — bleary eyed and yawning. Scrappy, who is still recovering from his neck injury, had been barking protests to his aching body as he moved around, trying to get comfortable. It woke her. “It’s still early. Don’t you want to go back [...]
Barbecue Meatballs Appetizer
In a nutshell: Juicy barbecue seasoned meatballs are bathed in sweet honey barbecue sauce. Ok. Ok. Meatballs? For Thanksgiving? In barbecue sauce?!? Yes, I know it’s unusual — for Thanksgiving or otherwise. But these are seriously good — and they are just right for pre-big Thanksgiving dinner munching. Making these is simple and can be [...]
Loaded Guacamole Onion Ring Burger
Burgers and I are fickle friends. I don’t eat a lot of meat, and when I do burgers aren’t usually high on my want-list. It’s not that I don’t like them. Honestly, a really good burger is a total treat — juicy, flavorful and so satisfying. They just aren’t my favorite, and when you limit [...]
Cheesy Italian Roast Beef on Garlic Bread
Have you been eating outdoors? We often take our lunch down to the beach to enjoy or pile around the backyard picnic table. And picnics? We love those. When I was asked to join the “30 Days of Outdoor Dining” event put on by Land O’Lakes and Kitchen PLAY in July, I said yes [...]
Avocado, Cilantro and Lime Rice with Santa Fe Chili London Broil
Breathe in. Breathe out. That’s what I think to myself sometime when I feel like there will never be enough hours in the day for me to do everything I need and want to. But it’s okay. A little centering and a cup of coffee goes a long way, right? I think so. The Motherhood [...]
Smoked Cheddar and Blue Cheese Brisket Macaroni and Cheese
Last year, a restaurant dedicated solely to macaroni and cheese opened nearby. Shawn and I had heard about it months in advance and were so excited to try it. Once it opened, we were almost instantly there with the kids. The premise is genius — take a classic comfort food and make it a bunch [...]
Smoky Slow Cooker Beef Brisket
If I had to choose just two things to make in the slow cooker ever, it would be brisket and pulled pork. I’m a huge fan of these BBQ favorites and though I don’t have a smoker at home to make authentic versions, slow cooker variations are pretty good themselves. Especially now that I have [...]
Red Wine Marinated Flank Steak with a Side of Food Safety
My husband says that there are things I don’t do simply because I refuse to — not because I can’t but because I won’t. Grilling used to fall high on that list. For a long while, I hid behind not knowing how to (read: not wanting to know how to) light the thing up. Not [...]
Rethinking Burgers (Super Veggie Beef Burger)
For more than a year, I have barely eaten beef. While I like it, my body isn’t fond of it and I’ve found that avoiding it means that I can live with less bouts of my severe asthma – and less medication. It was a no brainer to eat less of it. That said, I [...]
Family Meals: Poor Man’s Steak, Veggie and Mozzarella Sandwiches
Do you eat your meals together as a family? The kids and I eat dinner together nearly every evening, usually around our kitchen table. Shawn’s not home for dinner often because he has to work late and has a lengthy commute, but when he is, we all eat together as well. I’m dying to [...]
