Now, I’m known for many, many bad habits. One of the worst (at least according to my mother), is that I don’t eat leftovers. I’ve passed this on to Bo to, and I admit, it’s horrible. It’s also got to change. Food is bloody expensive, and I’m in the (also horrible) habit of cooking far…
Quick & Easy Meals
Granola
This is one of the easiest things in the world to make, and it is so great. So much better then those boxed granola style cereals that you buy, and it’s fantastic sprinkled on top of yogurt or ice cream. You can add basically anything that you like to it as well, this recipe is…
5 Minute Cookie Bars
This is one of those cookie bars that you’ve probably all had, but maybe you’ve never made yourself. Well, surprise, they only take about 5 minutes to throw together, then 25 to bake. So, the next time you get that phone call from your sister/aunt/mother/friend that you’re invited to a party and bring a dessert,…
Easy Frozen Oreo Dessert
This is really a piece of cake dessert. It’s easiest made a day ahead, but even the morning of will work. It’s not actually oreos either. It’s just chocolate wafer cookies with cool-whip sandwiched between them and “iced” over the top. I didn’t take make pictures because it’s really easy to do. First off, spread…
Mexican Style Skillet Chicken and Rice
Sorry, I’m not feeling very creative right now. I can’t seem to come up with a shorter more creative name. Something like Sombrero bake…that’s horrible. Let’s just leave well enough alone. Want to know what else I’m sorry for? I forgot to take pictures of this one as I cooked it. And it’s not so much that I…
Easy Garlic Parmesian Chicken Bake
Tonight was one of those horrible nights. I’m going to go ahead and assume that everyone has them, so please, don’t feel the need to correct me. Anna and Oliver both got shots today, Anna’s first set, and she was not happy about it. At all. The tylenol didn’t help her at all and while…
Skillet Lasagna
Finally, I’m back to posting up recipes, and boy, do I ever have some catching up to do. So, where do I decide to start? With what we had for dinner tonight. This is because I’m feeling ridiculously overwhelmed at the stack of recipes I’ve got in a pile, in a bag, in our office,…
Gone in a Blink Nacho Dip
This is a favourite amungst both my side of the family, and Bo’s. My mom’s got her version, my Nana has her’s, and Jenny’s got her’s too. Now, I’ve finally got my own! This isn’t to say that everyone else’s wasn’t good enough for me. The issue was that no one could ever remember exactly what portions…
Best (indoor) Burgers
Griddle Burgers These burgers are my absolute favorite to make year round. I’m not big on the super thick home-made style burger full of onions and spices. I like my burger meat thinish and tasting like meat. Then I cover it with mustard, ketchup, relish, mayo, tomato and sometimes dill pickel. Maybe I’m not such…
Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake
Texas Sheet Cake Can I put this under snacks? Because seriously, I could graze on it all. damn. day. Prep Time: 20 minutes Bake Time: 20 minutes Serves: 10 (unless I’m there, then pretty much only me) Ingredients: Cake 2 cups flour 2 cups white sugar ¼ tsp salt 7 tbsp cocoa powder 1 cup butter (16 tbsp…
Breakfast Loafs
Breakfast Loafs (aka Breakfast Muffins) I got the idea for this one last week from a poster on the bump. I couldn’t find a recipe on-line, so I had to wing it, but was pleasantly surprised! This is another Oliver approved breakfast!
