Garlic Butter Basted Ribeyes

Did you live it up yesterday for Fat Tuesday? I’ve decided to go vegetarian this year for Lent so I totally did. I ate way too much buffalo chicken for lunch then I cooked these babies for dinner. They were glorious and I may have had to pull out the fat pants. I can’t believe

Pizza Stuffed Shells

How was your Valentine’s Day? I spent mine with my favorite 4 year old boy and it was so much fun. We went out to lunch then drove around town trying to find a bowling alley that didn’t have a high school bowling tournament going on. Apparently that’s the thing to do on Valentine’s weekend.

Frosted Animal Cracker Puppy Chow

So, do you call it puppy chow or muddy buddies? We’ve always referred to it as puppy chow but either way, it’s one delicious snack. I’ve always enjoyed the classic chocolate and peanut butter combination but with all the unique recipes out there these days, it was about time we try something different. When I

Loaded Broccoli Cheese Soup

This Loaded Broccoli Cheese Soup totally ups the ante. Cheesy broth, broccoli, potatoes, carrots and bacon make up this warm and filling soup. It seems like people fall into two categories when it comes to soup, love it or hate it. My boys both moan and groan when they find out we’re having soup for

Dominican Stewed Beans with Rice

This past summer we vacationed in the Dominican Republic and had a blast. The only thing I was disappointed with was the food. We stayed at a resort so it was nice that we didn’t have to figure out and agree on meals but we definitely didn’t get the authenticity that we usually seek out

Chicken Sausage, Broccoli and Potato Frittata

I always have an ongoing list of cookbooks I want to add to my “collection.” I haven’t counted but I’m sure I already have close to 30 and have officially run out of space to store them in my kitchen. So rather than get rid of some, or stop buying more, I add this Ikea

Peppermint Brownies

Mint and chocolate is one of my all time favorite combinations and is a classic for the holiday season. Combine it with fudgy brownies and it’s pure perfection. Although I do love peppermint, I enjoy it in small doses. Like peppermint patties…one bite is enough to fulfill my sweet tooth. So when I saw this recipe I
