I got this recipe from Katie, at work. You probably don’t want to try this if you’re working the next day…

Swedish Meatballs & Egg Noodles

OK… You want to make this. You need to make this.
I saw this Rachael Ray recipe and thought I’d give it a try. It’s a pretty authentic tasting Swedish meatball recipe. It’s such a strange combination with the grape jelly & ginger cookies, but they come together perfectly. You’ll feel like you’re eating your [...]

Red Beans & Rice with Chorizo

I was going through some of my Rachael Ray magazines trying to get some recipe ideas. This one was from the February ’07 issue. I left out the corn, but we had everything else on hand. This makes a lot of food, so plan for feeding a few people or having leftovers. It’s a super [...]

Sloppy Buffalo Joes

Leave it to Rachael Ray make a sloppy joe out of almost anything. J
This was the second time I made these. It’s a great way to get the flavor of buffalo chicken wings in a much healthier meal. You can find Rachael’s recipe here. I cut the original recipe in half because it makes so [...]

Greek Chicken Thighs

I’m a big fan of Greek food. So, when this recipe from For the Love of Cooking showed up in my Google Reader, I knew I had to try it.  The only thing that I would do different next time, would be to change out the chicken thighs for boneless, skinless chicken breasts. It’s a [...]

Buffalo Mac & Cheese

This is a mac & cheese recipe I’ve been making for a long time. Normally we just use a few Tablespoons of Sriracha but I decided one day that I wanted to make it as Buffalo Mac & Cheese. Pete’s wing sauce is a great flavor for this. Can you handle the heat?

Carol’s Dirt

Carol brought this desert over after trying it at Cody’s parents’ house over the Holidays. It’s pretty easy to put together and quite tasty at that. Have a glass of milk nearby because this is pretty rich. J

Slow Cooker Hoisin Beef Stew

I’ve never tried a roast with an Asian flair to it, but this recipe  from Whole Foods was a delicious way to try. The overnight marinade helps to infuse every bite with the unique Hoisin flavor. It’s a great reason to break out that unused crockpot. I hope you like it. This was great over [...]

Dos Enchiladas

So… every once in awhile we’ll spend a day making enchiladas. And by once in awhile, I mean about once a year. The Enchiladas Verde recipe below comes straight from our friend Rick back in Minnesota. It is an all day labor of love but sooo worth it. Oh, and prepare to make friends because [...]

Sausage Spinach Gnocchi Alfredo

I was out of ideas for dinner last night and decided to just dig through what we had to put something together. After going through the fridge, freezer, and pantry I ended up with this. It actually turned out really well. I’ve made Spinach Sausage Gnocchi before with fresh spinach and it was good but [...]
