Irish Tacos

Irish Tacos....a fabulous way to use up leftover corned beef from St. Patrick's Day

Got leftover corned beef from yesterday’s festivities?  Honestly, I don’t know why you would, but on the off chance that you didn’t gobble up all that corned beef, I have the perfect leftover idea.  Make Irish Tacos! Only a girl who is part Irish, who married an Irish man, that lives in the Southwest would [...]

BBQ Brisket Nachos

BBQ Brisket Nachos 2

When I was in my high school marching band, we played an old “cowboy” song that was the current theme song for the Beef Council.  Yes, I’m a band geek and I loved every minute of it.  I remember all the songs we marched to and I can’t plate up a nice piece of beef [...]

Top 10 AMFT Recipes of 2012

The end of of the year is always a great time to do some self reflection.  I also do some blog reflection and see what’s worked, what hasn’t, what should change, and what should stay the same.  As part of that, I always look back at what my top 10 recipes were for the year, [...]

I don’t think there is anything better than a quick one-pot supper!  Do you?  They are perfect for busy schedules and our schedule is crazy these days…I think I’ve mentioned before about the tutoring, piano, Ju Jitsu, soccer, and Girl Scouts.  All of this after school and all on different days.  I’ve had to get [...]

Steak Tampico

Steak Tampico

You know me…I love to recreate our favorite restaurant dishes at home.  This is a recreation of one of my favorites from a local Mexican joint.  I used to get it all the time..when it was like $12, but times have changed and prices gone up and I can’t stand paying almost $20 for a small steak [...]

I love mangos. So when we had a little session on mangos at Camp Blogaway I was super excited!  I was even more excited when we sampled some mango recipes and were told we would get a box of mangos delivered to our homes!  Seriously…you would have thought it was Christmas…well, at least for me! Before I [...]

Shrimp Scampi with Whole Wheat Spaghetti

Shrimp Scampi with Pasta

For some reason, the idea of making Shrimp Scampi has always scared me. I love ordering it when I go out, but making it just terrifies me. One day my sister was talking about how she makes it all the time and it’s super easy and that same day another food blog I follow posted [...]

Italian Hoagie Sandwiches

Italian Hoagie Sandwiches

I am wordless!  There is noting I can say except you HAVE to try these sandwiches!  The only words that come to mind are perfection, juicy, filling, and gone!  There was nothing leftover…nothing at all!  I was hoping for one to have the next day, but no luck. I have some exciting news to share. [...]
