Grain-Free Stuffed Bell Peppers

August 24, 2017 by Tiffany King 2 Comments

If you’re trying to eat more grain-free, no/low-carb foods, these are for you! And even if you aren’t looking for low-carb options, these are so good you’re going to want to make them anyway.

This is the first recipe I’ve created outside of cookbook work in forever! It feels really good to have a new recipe to share with you here on the blog.

But can we just pause for a moment and realize that I’ve obviously spent a lot more time working on the creating of recipes than the photographing of them? I’ve never been great at photos, but I’m way out of practice. Many apologies for the fuzzy ingredient photo!

Being out of practice with the camera isn’t the only issue I’ve had after a summer of recipe testing. Testing ten and twelve recipes a week – sometimes four dessert recipes in a day – I was feeling like I’d consumed All. The. Food.

I ended up signing up for a fitness program that involves exercise and new eating habits. I’m going to wait to tell you much about it until I get through the first six weeks so I can give an honest opinion, but so far it’s been good. I was even able to put on a pair of jeans that were too tight to wear all last winter.

Part of the program involves some low-carb days and that was the inspiration for this recipe.

Beefy Penne Bake – Help Crush Hunger

September 27, 2016 by Tiffany King Leave a Comment

I have shared a lot of posts and recipes over the years, but this is one of the most important. In a world that can seem a little (or a lot) out of control, with more bad news than we think we can handle, we also have the opportunity to join together for good.

This October, Red Gold is partnering with Feeding America for the #HelpCrushHunger campaign. And we can easily join in to help!

For each Red Gold product purchased throughout the month of October, Red Gold will donate a meal to someone in need. The goal is to donate 1.7 million meals to Feeding America food banks across the country.

You guys! How easy is that? All we need to do is buy Red Gold tomato products in October and a meal will be provided for people who need it! Since every grocery list I’ve ever put together has canned tomatoes on it, this is a no-brainer, simple way for me to help.

Our church has a small after school program for kids that live in a nearby neighborhood. This year the organizers of the program committed to including dinner as part of the program. Many of the kids don’t get enough to eat at home.

I made a big pan of Beefy Penne Bake to share with them last week. They ate it up! Another woman brought a watermelon from her garden. The kids love fresh fruit. One little guy is a true watermelon lover. I lost count of how many pieces he ate. I remember him loading up on watermelon during Vacation Bible School too.

I hope you’ll join me and #HelpCrushHunger during the month of October. When you show or tell about a family meal experience on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, use #HelpCrushHunger in the caption and you’ll be entered to win a Red Gold Family Meal Kit and $100 to donate to your local food bank.

BBQ Beef and Bean Pot Pie and Double Chocolate Pretzel Brownies – Dinner + Dessert Idea

March 17, 2015 by Tiffany King 2 Comments

Today I’ve got two recipes for you – BBQ Beef and Bean Pot Pie and Double Chocolate Pretzel Brownies.

Dinner + Dessert!

The best family times and conversations happen around the table, so why not keep everyone there longer by adding dessert too. I guarantee they’ll hang out in the kitchen when they smell these brownies baking.

These recipes couldn’t be easier. They use common pantry ingredients and Betty Crocker and Bisquick mixes. I love dinners that come together quick, but give us a chance to connect as a family.

One of our favorite things to do is play games after dinner. Brownies and games makes a plain weeknight a whole lot better.

Let’s get dinner on the table, starting with the BBQ Beef and Bean Pot Pie. Here’s what you’ll need to make this easy meal: [Read more…] about BBQ Beef and Bean Pot Pie and Double Chocolate Pretzel Brownies – Dinner + Dessert Idea

Slow Cooker Korean BBQ Tacos

March 3, 2015 by Tiffany King 12 Comments

This recipe came about due to two things.

First, a friend mentioned having Korean tacos and how good they were. I’d never tried them, but it sounded great!

Second, I wanted a homemade alternative to this Korean BBQ Mix. We love this mix, but it’s nice to be able to make something from scratch too.

I did a little research and then altered the recipe for Slow Cooker Honey Hoisin Chicken to come up with this version of Korean BBQ Tacos. I make no claim that these are authentic. But I do know they are good! Really good.

I used pork loin instead of beef or chicken, but any of those meats will work.
