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”…
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…
Lasagna Sandwich on Texas Toast
Lasagna Sandwich on Texas Toast As a kid, I was never really a huge fan of lasagna. My mom used to hide onions in it and then swear up and down she didn’t put any in. Yeah, okay mom (insert eye rolling emoji). I remember folding my garlic bread in half and stuffing it with lasagna or spaghetti to mask the taste of the onions. But as I got older I learned that if I made Lasagna my way, extra mozzarella, hold the onions, I actually loved it! And let’s not forget a nice thick slice of garlic bread or Texas toast to slop up the extra sauce. For me,…
Scalloped Potatoes & Hamburg Bake
Scalloped Potatoes & Hamburg Bake Listen, I’ll be honest with you, I am terrible at coming up with names for my recipes. I just call them as I see them. When I started this blog all I knew was that I could cook, I didn’t realize that there were so many different elements to blogging. Along with cooking I also had to learn photography & improve my semi non existing writing skills. So bare with me as I learn. I am currently reading a book by Anne Lamott called Bird By Bird. I will warn you there is some foul language in the book. I am not finished with the…

Taco Chili
Ingredients: 1 (64 oz) bottle of v8 juice 1 pound ground beef 1 packet taco seasoning ( I use mild) 1 (15.5 oz) can light kidney beans 1 (15.5 oz) can black beans 1 (15.5 oz) can corn 1 tablespoon tomato paste 1 table spoon peanut butter – optional ( I know what you are thinking, peanut butter??!! Yes, peanut butter! My mom has always made her chili this way, and now, that’s how I do it too. The peanut butter just helps to thicken the chili . It also leaves this little hint of flavor that your guests can’t quit figure out, but makes them say, yum! ) Toppings-…
