One of our favorite indulgences is nachos. I love nachos. The crispy salty texture of the nacho chips dipped in the cool spicy flavorful salsa makes it hard to stop at seven measly chips. When we first got married we would frequent this amazing hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant. The place has since changed owners and unfortunately…

I read an article once about a mom who’s son wanted her to play Legos with him. They got so involved and were having so much fun she tossed the thought of having to make dinner aside and continued to play with her son until bedtime. A feat easily accomplished if that were Mason, our…

Fryer chickens are considered economically a better buy than bagged. Pricewise, I do not mind picking up a $5.00 rotisserie from the grocery store when I am in a pinch. I find a roasted chicken saves me time in the kitchen as well. If I plan just right, I can get several meals out of…

I think Asian cuisine is by far my favorite type of food. It is simple and makes me feel good after I eat it at home or dine at a local chinese restaurant. Tonight was a “all I want is mac and cheese” night. Luckily this dish is so easy and quick to prepare because…

I believe that eating healthy does not have to taste like cardboard and can be satisfying. Salmon happens to be one of my favorite foods. I love the natural rich buttery flavor of salmon. It can be a little expensive but oh so worth the money. Salmon are loaded with Omega 3 fatty acids. Fatty…

This is a recipe I used to make all the time in college. Creamed Tune and Peas has been around since the great depression. I can see why. It is cheap to make, filling and perfect for a rainy day. Traditionally it is served over toast. I like it with a baked potato. 1/4 cup…
