Eat ‘Em and Weep
Our oldest has been asking for beef stew of late (he loves the beef stew at school), so I finally got around to asking Nana for her recipe. It tasted just like I remember…tasty warm comfort food. I used the crock pot because I didn’t have 5 hours to babysit my oven.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 to 2 […]

Vegetable oil
Powdered sugar

This cornbread stuffing can be made in the oven or in the crockpot, and it tastes really yummy. This recipe is adapted from the crockpot lady. It reminds me a lot of my family’s stuffing recipe.
Ingredients:
1 recipe of cornbread
4 slices of bread
1/4 c. butter
2 c. celery, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 TBSP poultry seasoning
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. […]
We love Mexican food, and there are many many recipes that use shredded chicken. Here’s an excellent shredded chicken recipe I found at Fashionably Foodie. Admittedly some of the ingredients are surprising, namely Worcestershire sauce, but don’t let that scare you, because the end result is d’lish. Use the shredded chicken in tacos, enchiladas, burritos, […]
If you like chocolate and mint together like I do, you’ll enjoy these cupcakes. My frosting didn’t turn out fluffy…more like marshmallow fluff, which I suspect is due to me being too impatient and not letting it beat long enough in the mixer. It still tasted delicious though.
I got this recipe from Taste and Tell, […]
This chili recipe comes from the October 2008 issue of Southern Living, and is one darn good chili! The chili went really well with the extra cheesy grilled cheese too and a tossed green salad!
Ingredients:
1 medium onion, chopped
1 TBSP vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 lb. ground turkey
2 TBSP chili powder […]

Ingredients:
1/4 c. butter
1 TBSP parmesan or pecorino romano cheese
bread
cheese slices of your choice
Butter for pan
Directions:
Combine butter and […]
Here’s another casserole that uses leftover chicken or Turkey from Thanksgiving. It was good, but I liked the chicken tamale casserole better…-s said he really likes both and will definitely eat both. It’s quick and easy to prepare, which is always nice. This recipe comes from the October 2008 issue of Southern Living.
Ingredients:
1 […]
I had a bunch of spinach to use up, so I adapted a recipe I found at spinachrecipes.org. It’s not something I could eat every day, or even eat a lot of, but it was pretty good. The cream sauce is more like a cream gravy, so if you’re looking for an easy cream gravy […]
