Mom’s Chili Recipe
Mom’s Chili Recipe Pin me! – Pinterest Watch me! – YouTube (coming soon) The temperature has practically dropped over night here in Central Pennsylvania. It’s time to take out the air conditioners and make sure the furnace is ready for winter. It must have been pretty chilly, pun intended, in the house this morning because my husband turned on the heat before leaving for work. I think turning on the heat would have been more effective if he would have remembered to close the windows upstairs, but I won’t get into that right now. #men. With the cooler weather comes soup and crockpot season. I thought I’d start things off…
Hamburger “Boats”
Hamburger “Boats” Watch this recipe – YouTube Pin this recipe – Pinterest My mom made this meal quite often when I was a kid. I remember smelling it cooking while outside playing with the neighborhood kids; praying that yummy smell was coming from our house! Mom would typically serve this meal with some sort of vegetable, so I decided to add some carrots directly to the foil boats instead of using a separate pan for vegetables. One of my favorite things about this dish is the quick and easy clean up. The only dishes that need to be used to make this deliciously simple meal is the pan the “boats”…
BLP (Bacon, Lettuce, Pickled Egg)
BLP ( Bacon, Lettuce, Pickled Egg) Watch this recipe – Youtube Pin this recipe – Pinterest I thought I would keep this week’s recipe super simple. We have been on the go for the past few weeks and I haven’t had much time to edit new recipes. I do have plenty of cool ones coming soon, though! One of my favorite things to eat after a holiday is one of these BLP’s. It’s a delicious way to use up any left-over pickled eggs before they go bad. Normally, I will add leftover turkey to this sandwich, but we had ham instead of turkey this year for Easter. You could add…
Turkey Kielbasa Stir Fry
Turkey Kielbasa Stir Fry I mainly share recipes that my family enjoys, but once in awhile I like to share a recipe that I do not particularly care for but has rave reviews by others. One of those is this recipe for Turkey Kielbasas Stir Fry. This is one of my mom’s recipes. She also happens to be a genius in the kitchen, which is probably where I get it from! When I get stuck or need some inspiration I normally turn to her for advice. As mentioned, this is not on my favorite recipes, and it’s mostly due to the fact that it includes onions and peppers. Those…
The Lilian (World’s BEST Turkey Sandwich!)
The Lilian Watch this recipe – YouTube (Note: This recipe is not my own. This recipe came from a small country market I used to work at called Mauers’ market. This market no longer exists but I wanted to keep the memories of it alive by sharing this recipe.) Right after I graduated high school I got a job at a local country market. I had some of the best times of my life at that little store. I loved the people I worked with and the customer relationships I made. It was always fun to make those personal connections with our customers. To this day I still remember what some of the…
Stuffed Chicken & Shells Casserole
Stuffed Chicken & Shells Casserole Lately, I’ve been glancing through a lot of the old cookbooks I inherited from my Nana. In one of the books, I came across a recipe for Chicken Stuffed Shells. The recipe looked delicious, however, the directions had more steps than I cared to follow. Since I can sometimes be lazy in the kitchen I decided to simplify this recipe by turning it into a casserole. I liked the idea of the shells but, hated the idea of stuffing each one individually which would take a lot of time. Instead, I decided to use a box of mini shells. Doing it this way not only saved…
Semi-Homemade Pepperoni Pizza
Semi-Homemade Pepperoni Pizza Pizza has always been one of my favorites. It’s true what they say! “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” This is very true because my son loves pizza as well! I got the kiddos to help me with this recipe because they love pizza, and pizza is such a fun thing to make if you are teaching your kids how to cook. I love knowing that when I make this recipe, there will be none of the “I don’t want this!” arguments regarding what we are going to eat! Another fun idea is to serve this pizza with a mini salad bad. You can give…
Chicken Corn Soup Casserole
Chicken Corn Soup Casserole A good portion of this month will be filled with ribbon noodles and casseroles. We’re continuing with this chicken corn soup casserole. Chicken corn soup is one of my absolutely favorite soups to eat in the winter. There’s nothing quite like coming in after being out in the chilly air to a nice warm bowl of chicken corn soup! As a kid, I remember how my Granny Griffy would make chicken corn soup every year on the first day of trout season. I remember walking in and seeing her cooking with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth and the ashes a mile long! My mom…
Feta & Balsamic Steak Tacos
Feta & Balsamic Steak Taco I really should be cleaning right now, but instead, I am dreaming up new ideas for taco recipes. At this point, the scent of tacos may be ingrained into the walls of my home. Perhaps that is why I wake up in the middle of the night craving tacos? The scent is so powerful that I think I am waking up to a delicious taco meal. Sadly, that has yet to happen. However, when I’m not dreaming of tacos, I am testing out and photographing new taco recipes. One of the creations I made were these amazing Feta & Balsamic Steak Tacos. My family may…
Smoky Ranchero Chicken Tacos
Smoky Ranchero Chicken Tacos If you are like me and love tacos, then you should add these Smoky Ranchero Chicken Tacos to your grocery list this week. You are going to love how simple they are to make. I have been munching on these all week and I’m still not over them. Of course, you know I have been crushing on all kinds of tacos this month. If you caught me last week you witnessed my Honey Battered Chicken Tacos, weren’t they delish?! It’s hard to believe we are half way through taco month… I have to admit, I’m going to be kind of sad when taco month is over. I’ve…
