The other day Stuart requested a peanut butter pie. This was a first. Firs time he’d asked for one, and first time I’d made one… ever! So not having much experience to go on made me scour the web for some recipes. Low and behold my faithful searcher Google pulled up a recipe by the …

Pound Cake
I mentioned the other day that I made pound cake for our strawberry short cake dessert. I looked for actual short cake recipes, and apparently it’s just a biscuit… basically. And while that sounds kinda good too, especially since the strawberries are really ripe, I wanted something a little more desserty. So I found this …
Onion Soup Mix
So today as I was attempting to whip up my “famous” slow cooker beef stroganoff in 4 hours instead of 6-8, I realized that I had no onion soup mix. I had pinned some “recipes” for making it at home and likely had not bought some more because I wanted to make myself make it. …
Perfect Baked Potato
*UPDATED* We’ve been eating more meatless dishes lately. It’s been good, and I’m surprised at how full I feel after eating a plate of veggies and quinoa or a bowl of mellon! 🙂 I don’t see a strictly vegitarian lifestyle in my future by any means, BUT it’s nice to “lighten up” a little bit. …
Spicy Honey Chicken- Yum!
I tried this recipe from The Girl Who Ate Everything blog for dinner tonight. I had pinned it last week and have been DYING to try it. The photo of the chicken on her page was just too tempting! I had a hard time finding “Chipotle Chili Powder” and in fact the thing that I …
P-Dub’s Easy Green Chile Enchiladas
This morning, well it was closer to lunch than breakfast, but still morning, I was looking through my RSS reader and a post by The Pioneer Woman came up. She talked about how she had been in Albuquerque for a book signing. (I so wanted to go, but it wouldn’t workout in our schedule) and …
Chocolate Chip Cookie Solution
So I may have mentioned before that I have the hardest time in the world getting chocolate chip cookies to turn out well. It’s a mixture of altitude with who knows what else that causes every recipe I’ve tried to fall woefully flat… for real. Until now that is. 🙂 Tonight I tried THIS recipe …
Slow Cooker Mushroom Chicken…again
You might think I’ve lost my marbles because if you follow the recipe posts (and have a good memory) you’ll notice that there is another slow-cooker mushroom chicken post. It’s even snitched from the same website! HOWEVER there are nuances that are different, and while I like the other one a lot, I thought I’d …
Easy Chicken Melts
This is one of my favorite easy “light” meals. It doesn’t involve a ton of prep and I usually have the ingredients I need for it on hand. I like to use the canned chicken breast we get at Costco for this one too. Most of the time I serve it with some sliced veggies …
No-bake Energy bites!
Yummers!! You’ve got to try THESE bites! (there’s a link there under that word, check it out!) After the crispy treat with non melting marshmallow fiasco the other week I was a little reluctant to have the lads “help” me again. Not so much because of them, but my patience is in bad shape! SO …
