I have been on kind of a dip craze lately, probably because I’ve been on a snack craze too. It is just so easy to make a dip, grab some chips or veggies and snack away. Recently, I’ve shared recipes for caramelized french onion dip and ranch dip, and now I share with you this [...]

From time to time I ask friends of mine what kind of recipes they would like me to share on the blog. I have one friend who suggests sweets each time I ask her because frankly, I think she’s obsessed. So imagine my shock when I asked her a couple of weeks ago if she [...]

Is it just me or are many of the salads we see on restaurant menus today filled with a plethora of ingredients and doused with dressing? Not to say that I don’t enjoy a good cobb salad, sans blue cheese (I’m a ranch kinda girl), every once in a while but I also enjoy simple [...]

Last week when I shared my recipe for Slow Cooker Pulled Pork, I mentioned that I had a couple of recipes up my sleeve to utilize the scrumptious, tender meat. I shared that it is good in sandwiches, salads, omelets and tacos. But my oh my is it ever good in enchiladas. Especially when you [...]

Looking for comfort food? After a trying week last week, I certainly was. It is almost as if the weather gods knew it too because they made yesterday the perfect day to enjoy some stick to your ribs, make your tummy smile food. And that is exactly what this dish is. Just imagine, beef and [...]

During the summer grilling season, many of us enjoy burgers, hot dogs, ribs and chicken slathered in BBQ sauce. We also get those yummy salads, you know the ones loaded with mayo. Each one of these dishes holds a spot on the list of things I love but my hips hate.  But despite the somewhat [...]

In addition to french fries and mozzarella, tater tots are another one of my guilty pleasures.  But do you know how hard it is to find a decent plate of tots? First, I scour restaurant and bar menus in hopes that I find one that serves them. Once I do, I am often disappointed as [...]
