Asian Pork Kabobs

Posted on May 18, 2013 by Becca

  This wonderful creation happened recently because I love pork and I love grilling and I always like the idea of a kabob! I think this may have been the first time I’ve actually made these on my own. Yes I have skewered many a kabob in my life while I helped my mom or mother in law prepare dinner, but I have never marinated the meat myself or grilled it on my own grill. This is a perfect first time kabob though, because it tastes INCREDIBLE! Continue reading →

India Butter Chicken

Posted on May 15, 2013 by Becca

Stephanie O’Dea has a great food blog that I love – crockpot365.blogspot.com. She made a New Year’s resolution in 2008 to use her slow cooker everyday for an entire year. She, of course, chronicled the journey on her blog and still continues to update it with more recipes. She also has two Make it Fast, Cook it Slow cookbooks out. Conveniently for me, Stephanie’s recipes are all gluten free as her daughter has Celiac Disease. I’ve tried out quite a few of her recipes, and this is one of my family’s favorites.

My Maid Rite Burger

Posted on May 14, 2013 by Becca

I was inspired by Maid Rite last weekend. I went there with my niece and had a great time. Of course we laughed and joked (because that’s what we do), we enjoyed the atmosphere and relished in the perfection of their fries! The burgers were good too! I will go there again and eat the same burger, but while I was eating it, I had the thought, “I could make a delicious version of this!” So that is what I did. It doesn’t taste exactly like a Maid Rite burger, I didn’t want it to. That’s why I named it “MY Maid Rite Burger.” Continue reading →

Dandelion Flower Cookies

Posted on May 13, 2013 by Becca

Yes, you use real dandelions in the recipe, and yes you survive. My whole family has been eating them for 2 days and we all are in terrific health! Apparently there are whole books about cooking with dandelion flowers and there are a lot of health benefits to them. You can do more research about that on your own I suppose! I just trusted the resource :)

I thought this was a really fun thing to do with the kids since kids are prone to picking gobs of dandelions and of course they want you to put them in water. Then the “flowers” sit in a cup of water and pathetically die on your kitchen table. This recipe is a fun alternative to do with your kids and they can still pick all of the dandelions out of your yard! Continue reading →

Simple Seasoned Salad

Posted on May 7, 2013 by Becca

Tis the season for bringing side dishes! Don’t you love all the cookouts and parties that come with this time of the year? I do! Any excuse to get together is a good one in my opinion. Along with many of those parties you see the oh so familiar “Please Bring a Side Dish to Share” along the bottom of the invitation.  I will be trying to post some simple side dishes in the next few weeks so you have some great “go to” ideas when it comes to these get togethers.

For meatless Monday today I created a WONDERFUL dish for you all to try! Black bean & Green Chili Enchiladas. These are so delicious and filling. My husband didn’t even comment  on the fact that there was no meat in these (which as I have mentioned before is the true mark of a good meatless meal). Continue reading →
