While flautas are usually filled with mainly proteins and then deep fried, I changed it up a little. I filled a few flour tortillas with thinly sliced bell peppers and onions, a little bit of cheese and … Continue reading
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!

Many years ago, my husband worked for the sandwich chain Togo’s. Although I’m sure the actual recipe is probably proprietary and locked in some vault somewhere next to KFC’s secret blend of eleven herbs and spices, he has come up with his own Togo’s chili cheater recipe that rivals the real deal. Good on its … Continue reading
This colorful and yummy side dish is really easy to prepare and gorgeous to look at. Pan searing the vegetables before putting them in the oven really brings out the natural flavor of the ingredients.

Caught me again – I’m really just prepping it and the hubby is actually cooking it on the Weber, which leaves me time to write about it. But, for the record, there really isn’t … Continue reading
Bake time: 30-40 minutes Prep time: 20 minutes This makes a large amount of very rich macaroni and cheese. Cut the recipe in half to serve a family of four. Traditionally, I have always prepared macaroni and cheese using a roux based cheese sauce (or sometimes out of a blue box…. Sssssh don’t tell), but after … Continue reading

The title says it all right?!? We have to give a phat shout out to our sister, Theresa, the OGG (original go-getter) and mother extraordinaire, who, despite a hectic work and family schedule, still manages to throw down some awesome grub like this! Heat oven to 325. Season chicken breasts and thighs with salt, pepper … Continue reading
Ok – this isn’t an exact replica of Little Caesars Crazy Bread, only a close cheat, I admit that willingly. I’ll also readily admit that I am reposting a recipe which I made minor edits to, and found at http://tasteandseegodsgoodness.blogspot.com/2013/05/little-caesars-crazy-bread-at-home.html?m=1 .
