I love recipes. I have a cookbook addiction and I probably get 6-7 cooking magazines every month. I love food, and I love great recipes. Here you’ll find some great options to put a quick meal on the table, or a great recipe for Sunday dinner or entertaining. I live in a fairly rural area, and our grocery stores don’t promote gourmand tastes. Simple ingredients, great and easy techniques, lead to fabulous meals. Give them a try and please feel free to leave a comment!

Dinner in a flash – and it’s tasty. I use a corn tortilla called Candy’s for these and crisp them up in the oven. 2 tortillas are only 90 calories. I think the taste of crisping up your own corn tortillas in the oven is so much better than buying hard tostada shells – those […]
I’m a big fan of shortcuts. I cook extra and freeze, or throw a big package of chicken breasts in the crockpot and cook them until they shred. Freeze this crockpot shredded chicken and you can pull out portions for burritos, soup, quesadillas, skillet meals – pretty much anything that you need chicken for. I’m […]
My husband is a HUGE fan of this sandwich. My kids are less than tolerant because of the beans – but if your family loves beans – then this one is a home run. The best part is the 1/2 lb of hamburger – that means 2 meals from 1lb of hamburger. You could use […]
