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!

Chicken Pot Pie
Chicken Pot Pie I’ve spent a couple of weeks on this now, and finally have it to the point where I think it’s perfect, there’s nothing else to add or do to it (such a relief). I’ll probably try to figure out how to freeze it at some point, but for now I can’t stand…
Pizza Rolls
Pizza Rolls (aka Pizza Fingers) These were my favorite things to order at a restaurant called Melanie Pringles in the town I grew up in (I think it’s still there). When we moved, I found them at M&M Meats, but then they stopped making them. I had no choice but to figure out the recipe…
Apple Spice Breakfast Cake
Apple Spice Breakfast Cake I mean, what kid won’t get excited when you tell them that they get to have cake for breakfast! The next time I make this I think I’ll double it, and back a bunch of little ones in mini loaf pans. I’ll update when I do with times and such. Prep…
Breakfast Scramble
Breakfast Scramble One day at work I decided that sausage, eggs, green pepper and onion would make one hell of a breakfast bake. Yeah, yeah, not the most original thing, I know. But still, it was great! Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 30 minutes Serves: 4 Ingredients: 1 pkg frozen sausage mix, defrosted (it…
Oso Buco
Classic Osso Buco Want to know what a recipe is without a picture…Here’s your chance! Sorry about that by the way, I never took one the last time I made this a couple of years ago, but it’s been on my mind so I dug out the recipe and am planning to make it in…
Monkey Bread
Monkey Bread First off, a warning. This takes some time…like…a lot of time. It’s totally worth it though, and with the cold weather coming, well, this is going to be a staple for the night we decide to stay in and watch all those old Christmas movies with Oliver (remember Frosty and Rudolph!). It’s worth it,…
Banana Bread
Banana Bread This is an Oliver approved recipe; my boy simply can not get enough of this stuff. If he knows it’s in the house, he refuses to eat anything else. I tend to triple the recipe, then bake it in those smaller foil loaf pans they sell at the grocery store (just decrease the…

Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Home Made BBQ Sauce
You want to know what can take these from “Oh my god these are fantastic” all the way to “OMFG if I stop shoveling this into my mouth I will die” in two seconds flat? Garlic toasted buns. That’s right folks. Slather some garlic butter onto the buns before you toast them, maybe…
Snickerdoodles

Teriyaki Chicken – Best Ever

Chevapi and Crostini
This is an absolute favourite of Bo’s, being that he’s Croatian/Serbian it’s basically a staple. There’s a little butcher shop about a 45 minute drive from here that you can get them at, but they aren’t hard at all to make, it just comes down to how lazy I’m feeling, lol. Chevapi Prep Time: 20 minutes…
Glazed Roast Peameal Bacon, Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Sweet Carrots
You all may think, my god, could that roast be any sweater??? Well, no, probably not, but it’s only the outer crust that is coated with sweet carmel goodness, so it’s really not that much when you eat it. Unless you’re like me and hog both the ends. Yumm! I also pour the meat sauce…
Teriyaki Chicken, Roasted New Potatoes and Broccoli
This was a nice and easy meal to make, though it did require a little bit of prep work on the teriyaki sauce. Teriyaki Chicken Prep Time: 30 minutes Cook Time: 40 minutes Serves: 6 Ingredients: 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (you can use any type of chicken though, just adjust your cooking times) 1…
Jen’s Shakespeare Cookies
These are the best oatmeal chocolate chip cookies you, your Momma, your Grandma and your Grandma’s Daddy ever tasted! Seriously. The title can not lie (it’s like incapable or some shit). I had been on the hunt for YEARS (really, close to a decade) for the best oatmeal chocolate chip cookie because it’s Bo’s favorite…
