Spaghetti Stuffed Calzone
This is a great way to use up some leftover spaghetti, and you’ll get cool points with your man and/or the littles.
Spaghetti w/ Homemade Meat Sauce
I have a confession, Cookers. Yesterday was my first time ever making meat sauce from scratch. I know, right?? It's not that it is scary or challenging. It is more because I don't eat tons of pasta (especially in the years since I started fooding for real) and when I make a spaghetti dinner, I …
New England Clam Chowder
Hey, good people. Happy Sunday. I had a super sexy food fantasy mapped out for today, but like most fantasies, it didn’t quite play out the way it unfolded in the mind’s eye. It started when I sat down at the bar after my shift on Friday night and enjoyed the company of good friends …
Hearty Meat Lovers Chili
I'm not going to sit around acting like I'm happy about enduring another Michigan Winter. In fact, I'm going to bitch about it every time I write a recipe until Spring is sprung. Mr. Wonderful came in from work on Monday only to get pummeled with a mouthful of my frustration that we are here. …
White Hot Chicken Chili
Hello, Michigan Winter!! If I hadn't made this yummy crock pot chili last week; I'd surely be putting it together on this cold ass day. It's like 19° here today. Instead, I'm making traditional chili, and just writing about this one. I was very disappointed to see the first snow fall of the year occur …
Homemade Chicken Dinner Bowl
Are you a "blender" or a "separator" when it comes to your dinner plate?? Tough question?? I ask the question because some folks can't stand for foods to touch, but I am definitely a blender. I love to take a tiny bit of all my foods and incorporate them into one mouthful. If you see …
Lasagna Cordon Bleu
There are so many lasagna recipes out there that it would be insane to think everyone doesn't already have their own traditional style passed down through generations of family cooks. But, when you think of different lasagna variations one usually thinks veggie or Florentine style. Have you ever considered all the different things that could …
Keto Cauliflower Mash
This side dish is so simple I really should not even write a recipe on it. You can search Cauliflower Mash and find 100,000 recipes. But that's the problem, isn't it?? As confusing and damn complicated as, Primal, Paleo, Ketogenic and LC/HF (<huh?? exactly) already feels, you don't need more decisions. (That LC/HF is Low …
Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Keto Meatloaf
Keto is a bit of a bitch!! I mean nothing worth a damn is easy. We all know this. I'm here to say that breaking the carb addiction is as tough as anything else I've overcome, and I'm not sure I've beat this beast yet. Since I'm getting off the sugar, there's no need for …
Tamale Pie
At a time in my life when I needed, more than anything, comfort, warmth and simplicity; this recipe called to me. I had also recently mentioned to Mr. Wonderful that I was going to make it, then tequila got in the way and, it didn't happen but, he never did forget. This has been one …
