I think the name and the photo speak for themselves. These babies are lip smacking delicious and you've got to get them added to your meal plan. Like STAT. The ham, the cheese, the bell peppers and touch of onion...all wrapped in a cornbread base. Southern comfort right here my friend. Hope you enjoy them as much as we did! Ham and Cheese Corn Cakes Adorable … [Read more...]
BBQ Chicken French Bread Pizza
Pizza. We love pizza just as much as the next family does. And while I love to make my own dough (usually in the bread machine), some days I just don't have my act together or I forget to start the dough in time to be ready to get the pizza in the oven at a reasonable dinner hour. On those frazzled and trying days, I often turn to a "french bread pizza." I keep loaf bread … [Read more...]
Tuscan Bean Soup
I'm giddy about this ham and bean soup! It's a light and refreshing soup. It really is. You can tell just by looking at it, can't you. This is the flavors of summer meet the flavors of fall. A ham and bean soup meets the late summer harvest of zucchini, spinach and carrots. Toss it all together in a giant pot with some chicken stock, dried herbs and then top it all off … [Read more...]
Avocado and Black Bean Quesadillas
Love me some quesadillas. Quesa-dillas. (Saids like arma-dillo. Really, arma-dilla.) Really, you pronounce the dilla with a "y" sound in place of the "ll"...but I'm silly and call them Quesa-dillas. I like to add a tiny dollop of sour cream, then salsa and then a jalapeno to each bite! Zippy, zesty and crazy yummy!!! Avocado and Black Bean … [Read more...]
Chicken Cordon Bleu Pasta
I think if there was really such a thing as "comfort food heaven," this would be the first pasta served in the buffet. I have vivid memories of eating Chicken Cordon Bleu as a child. VIVID ones. Let's just say that my mom was not a fan of cooking. The "I love cooking" gene skipped a generation from my grandma to me. But my mom was fortunate enough to be rescued sometime in … [Read more...]
Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich
Fire up the broiler and call everyone for dinner! This one doesn't take long to get on the table at all! The reason...the meat in a cheesesteak is super thin and doesn't take long to cook at all. You'll spend more time slicing up the bell peppers than you will sauteing everything together! The flavors in this are simple, just as they should be. The only note I'll add … [Read more...]

Potato Chip Chicken Strips
Better. The best chicken strips I've ever made...maybe!? These homemade chicken strips are so, so, so, so much better than other chicken strips. I think it's the combination of the salty potato chips with the sour cream and paprika based dipping process. Oh, and the fact that the kids made these completely on their own. My oldest son is 10 years old and I'm really working … [Read more...]
