Winter means getting all cozy and having a nice bowl of soup for dinner. It means snuggling up with a good book and cup of hot cocoa. It means snow. I don't know about you, but here in Idaho there's not been snow. Not any.Not even for Christmas.Then this last weekend and this week we finally got some. When we were in California with the beautiful weather of mid 70's to 80's, soup did not even cross my mind. And this was just after Christmas.Until this lady walked passed me … [Read more...]
Bubble Up Enchiladas
Canned biscuits make preparing these Bubble Up Enchiladas a cinch. You won't believe how fast they will disappear! You will be making these quite often. Let me just get that out there. They can be made with one hand tied behind your back. Or by your husband when you are out harvesting potatoes, driving a big ol' dump truck while Tigger (that's his name) loads you up from the potato harvester machine. Or something like that. Did you get that these are easy to make? Plus the kids … [Read more...]
Philly Cheese Steak Egg Rolls
This Philly Cheese Steak Egg Rolls recipe is a yummy variation the original egg roll. Serve them as appetizers or a main dish with some fries on the side! I like deep frying food. It's fun. It's also fun to see what kinds of different foods you can make. Like Taco Won Tons or Won Ton Kisses, which you must try. Immediately. I also love egg rolls. If you don't, just give these a try. They are not your typical Chinese Egg Rolls. Nope. They are Philly Cheese Steak Egg Rolls. They're … [Read more...]
Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich
Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches. One of the best sandwiches out there. I've never had a "real" Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich, since I've never been to Philadelphia. But if they are at least as good as these, I'll be fine with never making my way to Philly. Last week I shared Philly Cheese Steak Egg Rolls. These sandwiches are even better. Thanks to Miss Holly for her scrumptious recipes, I found another winner in these sandwiches.The best part is that you can adapt them to your tastes. I … [Read more...]
I {Heart} The Pioneer Woman
I really do. I'm not even sure how I discovered her, but I am so happy I did. Actually, her site was on someone's blog roll, now that I think about it. Anyway, she has a new cooking show on Food Network, in case you didn't know. It debuted yesterday and I loved it. So naturally, I had to make some of her glorious food to celebrate. I've already made her Chicken Fried Steak, but those potatoes-oh.my.I have her cook book (she's already working on another one!) and these potatoes are in it. … [Read more...]
Taco Won Tons
Taco Won Tons are little bites of taco wrapped in a won ton wrapper. So easy for a quick appetizer or light meal. I shared these little guys over on Chef in Training last Saturday, but I wanted to share them here in case you missed them. I found these in my new favorite cookbook that I won. I didn't want something that I had to use my oven for since it was blasted hot outside. These tasty little guys are perfect as an appetizer or main dish. I goofed and used actual won ton wrappers … [Read more...]

South of the Border Burritos Print … [Read more...]
Grandpa Gallegos’ Chile
My grandpa made the best chile. It's not chili. It's chile. Because it's Mexican food, not American. Traditionally, Chile doesn't have beans in it, just meat. But anyone in any culture tends to add lib when it comes to cooking and does what they want. We make tortillas and ham hocks and beans and eat them with this Chile. It can be frozen and that's what I love about this. A funny thing about my grandpa-he said that he'd live to 90 because that's a good age. He passed away just a few days after … [Read more...]
Marinated Roast
I don't know why this is called "Marinated Roast" because you don't marinate it. Maybe it marinates as it cooks in the slow cooker. Ok. Let's go with that. Whatever it is, it's delicious. The perfect roast, in my book. It is so tender and just falls apart if you cook it the way I do. Here's the trick: Put it all in the slow cooker when you go to bed and cook it on low. Then it's ready to eat at lunch the next day. We do this on Saturday night and it's ready after church. Otherwise you can put it … [Read more...]
Paula Deen’s Old Fashioned Meat Loaf
If you're craving some down home comfort food, make Paula Deen's Old Fashioned Meat Loaf. Bellies will be full and happy. "Meat Loaf, Meat Loaf, Double Double Beet Loaf. I hate Meat Loaf." That's according to Randy on A Christmas Story, not me. I double love me some meat loaf. Especially the next day as a meat loaf sandwich for lunch. I just take some bread and spread Miracle Whip on both sides, then place some warmed meat loaf on one side topped with Heinz 57. Completely happy. I came … [Read more...]
