Have you ever heard of chicken shawarma? I’ll be honest. I hadn’t until very recently. I grew up eating your typical American and Italian dishes, and we didn’t really branch out much. But when I was in high school, the people who lived across the street were from India, and the smells that would waft Read more

Who here is a fan of Italian dishes?! I’ll be honest…I’m not a big pasta gal. I’ll eat it for sure, and it makes it’s way into our meal plan on occasion, but it’s just not my favorite. HOWEVER. We recently tried these slow cooker hot Italian beef sandwiches and wow. My husband took a Read more

Who doesn’t love a meal that takes just a few minutes to toss in the crock pot? Set it and forget it? Yep…that’s me! I mean, I was kind of lazy even before I had kids, but they have definitely increased my reliance on quick and easy meals. So this slow cooker “baked” egg casserole Read more

I have a confession to make. I am a recovering Chipotle addict. I think before we had kids I probably went there on a weekly basis, if not more. My favorite order was a burrito with white rice, black beans, beef barbacoa, mild and medium salsa, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, and if I really wanted Read more

Delicious buffalo chicken sandwiches made in the slow cooker! A few weeks ago, I tried a buffalo chicken sandwich from a restaurant and it was a-m-a-z-i-n-g!  They used real blue cheese on it and it was divine. Spicy. Smokey. Cheesy. Just delicious! This sandwich is ALMOST as good. I say ALMOST because there’s just something so amazing about Read more

I got a thing for buns.  They’re carb-y.  They’re delicious.  They’re yeasty. I like big buns.  (I cannot lie.) I like hot cross buns.  (One a penny.  Two a penny.) I like them with cinnamon on top. I like them with frosting on top.  I like them made into garlic bread.  I like them made Read more

One taquito. Two taquito. Three taquito. Score! How do you spell taquito anyway?  I could’ve sworn it was tacquito (with a ‘c’), but Google says otherwise.  Weird. Just when you think you know how to spell something.  My name is still spelled J-A-Y-M-E, right?  Just checking. However they’re spelled, taquitos are yummy.  They’re one of Read more
