I've been cooking with ground turkey a lot in the past several months. Right now, I can get it for almost a dollar a pound less than I can get ground beef! I've found that it's a pretty good substitute for beef in things like tacos, chili and spaghetti. My husband is a huge fan… Continue reading Turkey Meatloaf

BBQ Chicken Casserole
I’ve mentioned what I fan I am of the “Cook once, eat twice” method. It’s such a time and money saver! Last week I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts to make BBQ chicken in the crockpot. We ate half of the meat at supper, and I chopped up the rest for another meal. I came… Continue reading BBQ Chicken Casserole

Two Ingredient Guacamole
I don't know about y'all, but I crave snack food during March Madness! Yesterday was a full day of basketball (and NASCAR) viewing in our Southern home. I made a batch of pigs in a blanket for my man, and then whipped up this amazingly simple guacamole to finish out the evening. Here's the recipe!… Continue reading Two Ingredient Guacamole
March Madness Party Menu
Does anyone in your house have March Madness fever? I grew up in a basketball lover's home and married a college basketball referee, so basketball season continues to be a favorite time of the year. I imagine there will be lots of basketball viewing parties going on over the next several weeks, so I rounded… Continue reading March Madness Party Menu
One Batch of Meatballs – Two Meals
My husband requested meatballs for our supper menu last week. I had one big package of ground turkey from Costco in my freezer, and I decided to employ the cook once, eat twice strategy. I've heard the lovely Jen from Balancing Beauty and Bedlam talk about this strategy, but I've watched my mom let her freezer… Continue reading One Batch of Meatballs – Two Meals
Copycat Olive Garden Chicken Gnocchi Soup
We eat way too much pasta at our house. What's not to love about it? It's cheap, easy and loaded with carbs. Ha! Within the last year I've discovered how easy it is to cook with potato gnocchi. When it goes on sale B1G1 at my grocery store, I stock up! I really like this recipe for… Continue reading Copycat Olive Garden Chicken Gnocchi Soup

My Christmas Menu
Is there anything that's better about Christmas than the food? I come from a family of foodies, not the least of which is my Mom who as of yesterday had baked 29 DOZEN CHRISTMAS COOKIES. We're staying home for Christmas this year, so I won't get to eat any of those goodies (unless my sister… Continue reading My Christmas Menu
