We've been doing burgers every Sunday night all summer...and these are up there in my top 5! Loved the Mexican flavor...the zip (but not so zippy that the kids wouldn't eat them)...the added smokiness from the grill. Yum!

Green Pepper Chili
Simple. Take your basic chili...and add 2 green peppers. Diced, of course! (I made this on the Dayton Fox News morning show this week! So if you've been looking for the recipe, here it is!) Remember those crazy wicked cheap green peppers I scored!?! That's what inspired the green pepper addition. I think I'll be adding green peppers to everything from now until … [Read more...]
Mediterranean Mini-Meatballs
I've had this hankering for olives lately. While I haven't set out to eat an entire jar of green olives, I have no doubt that I could do it...as long as I had a huge glass of water and something sweet nearby. As I was perusing the cupboards when making my meal plan over the weekend, my eye fell on the olive jar ($.49 from Walgreens). And as I started to tear into it and eat … [Read more...]

Beef and Mushroom Kebabs
I made these the other night...I made an extra trip to the store to get the ingredients needed for this morning's news segment...and spotted some $.99 whole mushrooms. I see them often for $.99 in the mark down basket in the produce section. I found more this morning...sliced this time. I don't typically buy extra food when I'm getting food for news segments, but I couldn't … [Read more...]
BBQ Cowboy Beans with Biscuits
So grateful for a stocked freezer when coming home from a trip. I grabbed some ground meat, cooked black and pinto beans, and set to work in the kitchen. After thawing it all, I browned the ground meat, then added the beans and some BBQ sauce. So. So. Simple. I also had some drop biscuits in the freezer...so I thawed those and poured the cowboy beans over top. Served with … [Read more...]
