Sausage, Beans, and Potatoes
My oldest daughter, Mackenzie (almost 11), created this meal one evening when she heard what I was planning to make for dinner and decided she’d rather have something else. It’s yummy, easy, and even nutritious. The only negative is that if you don’t rinse the black beans really well, the entire meal turns [...]
Taco Soup
This recipe can be made in the Crock Pot or on the stove, depending on when you decide to make it! It is a favorite in our house, and wonderful served with corn chips and some avacado!
I used to make this recipe when vegetarian, just omitting the meat and adding an extra can of beans, [...]
Balsamic Chick Chick
How often do you eat boneless/skinless chicken? I keep wanting something new to do with it! We love balsamic vinegar here, and it combines beautifully with rosemary. This is a light recipe, one which uses less meat, but has the addition of chick peas to supplement the protein. This is one [...]
Mexican Chicken & Beans One Pot
This is a delicious gfcf, gluten free, family-friendly recipe! It is also (if you double check ingredients!) a wheat free, dairy free, soy free, egg free, tree nut free, peanut free, fish free, shellfish free, corn free, and top 8 allergen free recipe. If you use brown rice or brown rice noodles, [...]
Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo
My friend JadenKale was chatting with me recently while eating some leftover chicken alfredo with broccoli. I don’t think I ever ate that, but my mouth was watering at the idea. I played around with my White Sauce recipe, and whipped it up. This got rave reviews, and seconds for most of [...]
Pulled pork for the masses
This is a classic southern dish that I had somehow never made. yummy and with a very juicy sauce. This is also the easy, don’t-heat-the-house-with-the-oven variation.

Mediterranean Chicken Pasta
This is a recipe that my oldest daughter and I created when we were trying to reach a comprimise between what I wanted to cook and what she wanted to eat! This worked well, it’s a one-pot meal that will be finished within 45 minutes, and can either be eaten alone or with a [...]
Asian Kielbasa
We picked up some kielbasa on sale, but were tired of our usual method of cooking it with sauerkraut. One of our friends, JadenKale, described this dish in a chat, and I knew we had to try it! 2 lbs of kielbasa scarfed down, and kids wishing for more – this is a [...]
Creamy Chicken and Asparagus faux-risotto
I’ve been missing the creamy taste of Risotto, but haven’t had any arborio rice, nor the desire to stand over a stove stirring for an hour. With chicken and asparagus (or any other vegetable) and some basmati rice you can make a delicious faux-risotto. Asparagus is wonderfully in season right now, and the [...]
Zucchini and Chicken one-pot meal
Our oven broke recently. We can (thankfully) still use the stove, and we also have the microwave and the crock pot. However, I had planned to make some oven-roasted chicken legs, and had no clue what to do with them without an oven. A friend suggested that I toss everything I was [...]
