Mango Jalapeno Sausage Primavera
I love it when my local Costco samples various Aidells sausages. Although I generally pass them up for what I’ve come there for, sausages can be a really quick go-to appetizer or meal. What’s even more impressive is that, if you take a quick scan over Aidells labeling, you’ll see that you can pronounce all of … Continue reading

Homemade Chicken Strips and the Chobani Greek Yogurt Recipe Save
So, I’m pretty sure today was my luckiest day this week. I was playing “clean out the freezer” and discovered some chicken strips, which appeared to have either been seasoned or brined in May of this year. To make things even more confusing, the bag was clearly marked in Amelia’s handwriting. It took the both of … Continue reading

Trish’s Mini Biscuits
I didn’t initially mean to make biscuits this small, I just happened to grab the wrong sized ring and decided to go with it. But now I absolutely love these tiny little biscuits! They are perfect to serve with butter and fresh jam at breakfast or as an amazing soup topping. Or, if you are looking … Continue reading
French Toast
French toast has been a long time favorite of mine. Even on very sleepy mornings, mom could always get me out of bed with the promise of the fluffy, eggy, spiced toast. I don’t know what recipe she used (a post for another day perhaps) but here is mine. French Toast 11 eggs 2 teaspoons … Continue reading
