I really liked this Smothered Steak. One of my foodie resolutions was to cook with fresh mushrooms. They aren’t my favorite food, but I’ve been trying to learn to like them. They were good in this dish and easy to cook with.
This recipe makes enough that, depending on your family size, you can probably eat dinner the night you make it and still put some in the freezer for later. I froze the whole recipe. The gravy was so smooth and nice when I first made it, but it separated a bit in the freezing/reheating process. It still tasted great though. [click to continue…]

This is the second in the freezer meals series. This recipe and several more were shared by Suzanne on a forum I frequent. I’ve tried quite a few enchilada recipes. These were cheesy and mild. The kids really liked them. They also froze and reheated really well. [click to continue…]

This is so super-yummy! It cooks up in the slow cooker and freezes great. The recipe was shared on a forum I frequent – thanks, Janet!
Before I had surgery, I cooked up quite a few meals and stocked the freezer. I’ll be sharing those recipes over the next week or so. I’ll also be putting out a special menu for filling the freezer with some hints on getting the cooking done quickly. That menu will most likely be posted on February 15. [click to continue…]

I found this idea in the current issue of Taste of the South magazine. King Cake is traditionally served on Mardi Gras, which is coming up. But I did manage to pick up enough of the Super Bowl talk to know that the New Orleans Saints are playing. I think this cake might be a fun addition to your Super Bowl food. Unless, of course, you’re a fan of the Colts. (For the record, I had to ask my husband and son who the other team is. I also had to verify the name of the New Orleans team. Yeah, I’m not much of a football fan.)
Here are the 2 ingredients you’ll need for this version of King Cake: [click to continue…]

I love guacamole. It’s dangerous for me to start eating it, because I have trouble stopping. So yummy. And it’s very easy to make homemade. The only trick is having ripe avocados. Anybody know how to have perfectly ripe avocados when you need them? [click to continue…]

I love soup. A warm bowl of soup with a slice of good bread or a muffin or biscuit and I’m a happy person. Here are 19 recipes to choose from. And I’d love it if you’d leave your favorite recipe in the comments (you can link to your blog, if you like). That way I’ll have more to try too. [click to continue…]

Two great things about this soup: 1) It’s easy and quick 2) everyone adds their own Tabasco and soy sauce so it can be mild for the picky eaters and full of flavor for the adventurous. I adapted the recipe from More with Less Cookbook. Here’s what you’ll need: [click to continue…]
