    Chili Lime Baked Cod

    / No Comments

    Chili Lime Baked Cod is a delicious, healthy recipe that will please the entire family Those that know me know that I am not a huge “fish” person. That being said, I am trying to become a bit healthier and am aware how important fish is to a good diet. This was something I came up with after seeing a couple other recipes that looked pretty good. It is very flavorful and extremely easy and quick to make. When making it I mixed all of the spices together and rubbed them on to 2 pieces of cod. I thought it would be even better if I put it in the…

    Spicy Thai Noodles With Shrimp

    / 4 Comments

    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…

    Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole

    / 2 Comments

    This chicken and wild rice casserole is creamy, yummy comfort food. You and your family will be making this often, especially because it is so easy and feeds a crowd! We’re starting to feel a bit of a chill in the air, yes, even here in North Carolina. These are the times I love to have warm, delicious comfort food for dinners. My hubby is a helicopter modification specialist and works in a hangar at Simmons Army Air Field at Fort Bragg and let me tell y’all, those things are not heated or cooled. So when he comes home from work, he is cold and hungry at this time of…

    Instant Pot Honey Garlic Sesame Chicken

    / 1 Comment

    This Instant Pot Honey Garlic Sesame Chicken is better than anything we have gotten for take out. If y’all need a quick, easy and healthy dinner for the whole family, this is it.  Just chop a couple of things and toss them in the Instant Pot and … Ta-Da!! Dinner in minutes. What I have given y’all here is the basic Instant Pot Honey Garlic Sesame Chicken recipe. There are so many ways to go with this and ramp it up. I’ve added toasted cashews and peanuts (not both at the same time silly). I have also steamed broccoli and tossed that in at the end with the green onions.…

    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…

    Rockin Red Beans and Rice

    / No Comments

    Red beans and rice, originated in Louisiana and in the old South, was typically made on Monday’s. This is because on Sunday there was usually a big supper after church and it usually included ham or beef which gave left over bones and a bit of meat. Monday was typically wash day. Of course, back then they didn’t have washing machines so washing clothes took a great deal of time between using a washboard and tub, then ringing the clothes and finally hanging them. Supper needed to be something that didn’t take a great deal of attention, hence, Red Beans & Rice! I know these days we don’t have to…

    Shrimp and Broccoli with Creamy Garlic Pasta I was skipping around on Pinterest and Facebook the other day and discovered at one point my tummy was growling after looking at all of the delicious pictures and recipes that were out there. I found that I had a craving for several different things and decided to wrap them all into one. The result…… delicious!!! This dish is so easy and requires only one pot (a bonus when it comes to clean up) The wonderful thing about this dish is that it can be changed up in so many ways. Next time I am going to do chicken and peas instead of…

    Easy Chili Mac – An Updated Version Of A Childhood Favorite​

    / 1 Comment

    Chili Mac is a quick and hearty meal that will stick to your ribs. I don’t know about y’all but I used to love Hamburger Helper (sometimes I still do..shhh don’t tell). This Chili Mac is a more grown-up version that is just as quick but much healthier and more flavorful. Who doesn’t like cheesy pasta with hamburger and tomatoes! Whip up a batch of this Chili Mac and I bet your family will go wild for it! This is so easy and is a one-pot meal. Most of you probably already have the ingredients to make it. Check your freezer, fridge, and pantry now! Make it a great day!…
