    Baked Brat and Kraut Roll Up

    Beer Brats and Sauerkraut are a summertime favorite at our house.  This Baked Brat and Kraut Roll Up recipe combines those two ingredients along with another wonderful tasty treat…. puff pastry. This recipe is like Summer wrapped up in a little bit of heaven. I found this recipe on the Johnsonville website and of course as always, tweaked it a bit. My daughter, Jessica, was over last week and we decided to whip this up for dinner while taking down the Christmas decorations.  This would also work great to serve as an appetizer at a party (Super Bowl Sunday is coming up soon). I want to say this straight out, I…

    Best Meatloaf Ever

    There are literally thousands of meatloaf recipes and I’ve probably tried at least 100 of them. When Fall rolls around and it gets a bit cooler there is nothing that we love more than sitting at the table together and enjoying some good-old-fashioned comfort food! Meatloaf is one of my family’s absolute favorite dinners. I think one of the reasons is that it is not only good that first night, but it is even better the next day for meatloaf sandwiches. Do y’all remember the days of going to a diner and getting the “Blue Plate Special”? Many times it was meatloaf and it was the best meatloaf ever!! Well…

    Roasted Garlic Parmesan Shrimp

    My husband and I have been working hard on being more mindful of what we are eating. These Roasted Garlic Parmesan Shrimp have a lot of flavor, cook quickly, and are made with quality ingredients. Roasted Garlic Parmesan Shrimp can be made in the oven easily, however, we recently purchased an AirFryer and I absolutely LOVE how these turn out when they are done in the AirFryer. However you decide to roast them, you will enjoy them. When I make these I make a double batch. I make the first batch for whatever we are having for dinner. Sometimes that is making a big salad with all kinds of veggies…

    Spicy Thai Noodles With Shrimp

    Spicy Thai Noodles With Shrimp   I absolutely love recipes that allow you to use those leftover veggies you have hanging around in the refrigerator. This recipe is just so versatile and delicious.   Spring is here and I have noticed that I have gained a few extra pounds so I have been working towards eating a bit healthier lately. You know, adding more vegetables, fruit, lean protein and cutting out as much processed food as possible. This recipe is perfect to aid in those goals.   I reworked this recipe a bit from what it was originally. Like I said at the beginning of this post, this recipe is…

    Creamy Crock Pot Chicken and Stuffing

    Creamy Crock Pot Chicken and Stuffing Cooler temperatures have us craving warm, creamy comfort food. I wanted to be able to have something that would fit that bill, not take all day to cook and was still jam packed with flavor. This recipe fits that bill and was a lot of fun to come up with. Creamy Crock-Pot Chicken and Stuffing came to be by looking at what I had left over in the fridge as well as what I had in the pantry. As I explained yesterday, I always have chicken on hand either cooked and shredded in the freezer or in this case, left over from our Really…
