I’m not quite sure where I first came across this recipe but I forgot to blog about it last time I made them. I made these Oreo Truffles for our Girl’s Night last week. I tried to make them slightly not so bad by using reduced fat Oreos and fat free cream cheese. Either way, [...]

This really shouldn’t even be called a recipe. I threw this together for Girl’s Night and it went over pretty well. I love all the flavors used in Greek cooking so I tried to pull them all together in this pasta salad.
Greek Pasta Salad
1 lb of small shaped pasta (I used rainbow Rotini)
1 bottle of [...]

Every so often, my sweet husband will decide to cook for me. This recipe took him out of his comfort zone, for sure. He’s never cooked with artichoke hearts before and really isn’t a huge fan of capers. When we sat down to eat this, it was wonderful. Cancy even said he liked the taste [...]

Every so often I get a Kraft food & family magazine in the mail. I’m not a huge fan of what Sandra Lee would call “Semi-Home-made”, however this recipe came in handy for a quick man pleasing meatloaf.

Oh Pioneer Woman… You have yet to steer me wrong. When I saw this recipe for her Mac & Cheese pop up last week, I knew I had to try it. All I can say is Yum! This turned out great. We opted to bake ours just to give it a little different texture and [...]

I found this in my Google Reader one day and starred it so that when the craving for lamb struck again, I’d have a great plan for it. This was a very flavorful meal that both Cancy & I really liked. It looks like a lot of ingredients, but it all comes together super easy. [...]

I found this little retro dish at Telly’s Tasty Tidbits. This is great for those weeknights when you don’t really have the motivation for a big involved meal. This comes together super quick and then you just let everything finish off in the over and you have a super fast & easy dinner.
