There are a couple of stir fry recipes that I make and this one is one of my favorites. I make a homemade teriyaki sauce simply because I haven’t found a store bought one that I actually like. Have you? If so, use it! If not, use this one. This is about as exotic as Read more

As is the case with most of my recipes, this is a simple one. It’s for a baked sandwich – like the kind you get at Quiznos. And really, it’s quite versatile. Don’t want to make it with the meats that I have listed? Try turkey or roast beef. Want to jazz it up more Read more

It’s funny what one person will find intimidating when it comes to menu planning and cooking. Normally, I think I have a pretty good handle on it, but as I start my 6-week maternity leave, I realize that now I’m responsible for lunches too! That’s something that my babysitter normally handles. It isn’t completely foreign Read more

Try this easy slow cooker ham and bean soup.  I like bean and bacon soup. The kind that comes in a can with a red & white label. (Umm…yeah…Campbells.) This soup is fairly close it – except with ham instead of bacon. And it’s homemade, which seems to be healthier even if it really isn’t Read more

Let me check the calendar?  Yup!  Easter’s on its way.  I can tell because of all the ham & baking supplies at stock up prices, starting this week.  You did check out Nicole’s list of weekly sales to know what to pick up, right?  Be sure that you do!  Look here for some menu suggestions Read more

Did you make those cookies from last week?  I’m hoping that you did!  But if you didn’t, there’s still time!  This week, I’m guessing there will be a lot of Irish-inspired meals in homes around Omaha, but don’t despair if you’re not a Reuben lover.  There’s plenty of things on sale this week to eat Read more

I’m in a cooking funk.  It’s not that I don’t have a whole arsenal of recipes at my disposal.  (Because, clearly, I do.)  It’s not that I don’t have the ingredients on hand.  (Because, well, I have a healthy stockpile of essentials.)  It’s just that I don’t feel like cooking.  So…we’ve been eating out a Read more

Oh man, oh man, oh man!  Want the taste of pepperoni pizza, but want to do it a little bit differently?  Here’s your answer – Pepperoni Rolls!  This recipe is all over the internet (well, all over pinterest) and it’s so easy.  It’s like a pizza meets a calzone.  Kind of. The key to this Read more

I have a new favorite chicken pasta dish – chicken tetrazzini!  I made a 9×13 pan on Monday of this week and we’re still eating it!  Which means: it makes A LOT, it makes for excellent leftovers since it re-heats well AND we haven’t gotten sick of it.  Next time I make it though, I’m Read more
