Every summer, I make a ton of jam so that we have a healthier, all fruit version jelly/jam all year long. Since my family’s favorites tend to be berries, I make it in the summer. However, if your family is fond of more wintery fruits, make yours when the fruit is at it’s peak. I […]

Red Enchilada Sauce From Scratch
To celebrate Cinco de Mayo, I thought I would share one of my favorite red enchilada sauce recipes. Once you taste real sauce, you might not ever buy that yucky canned kind again. There are so many nasty things in the canned sauce…there is no need for something so simple to have an inch worth […]
Cowboy S’more Squares
A couple weeks ago, I inherited a box of old recipe cards, books, and clippings from hubbyman’s grandmother. She has been busy cleaning out their house and thought I would enjoy them. I’m sure in the weeks and months to come that I will be sharing some of the great recipes I find in the […]
Blue & Orange Birthday Party
Today is my son’s 2nd birthday! We celebrated with family and friends last weekend with a small backyard party. I didn’t really make any new recipes for his party, but I thought I would share the party details with y’all anyway. I’ve never been a huge fan of licensed-themed parties, but my little man […]
Recipe: Baked Sweet Potato Fries with Chipotle Dipping Sauce
My recipe for Baked Sweet Potato Fries with Chipotle Dipping Sauce is my all time favorite way to eat sweet potatoes. They’re spicy with a cooling dip! Growing up I hated sweet potatoes; however, since being pregnant with my son I just can’t seem to get enough of them. If it’s on the menu in any […]

No Fuss Oven Nachos
This is the last in my week-long series about pot roast and using up the leftovers. This is my favorite way to end the week. I LOVE nachos and this is so easy. If I’m being nice, I will make this for supper for the entire family…otherwise, it ends up being my end of the […]
Spicy Taco Meat
Pot Roast leftover idea #2 comes from my Mother-in-Law. I feel in love with it the first time she made it, so I demanded asked for the recipe. I have no idea where she got it, but I do know that it was meant to be used on an entire roast. I’ve halved it so […]
BBQ Beef on a Bun
Seriously folks, this is by far the easiest leftover dish in the world. The flavor is entirely different from the pot roast that you had the night before. Also, I actually do make all of these leftovers every time we have a pot roast…and I do them in this order. For us, it’s easier to […]
