Cheesy Smoked Sausage & Potato Casserole Recipe

480951_133940120103086_62287544_n

We had this for dinner last night (hubby cooked!) and it was so YUMMY!  I recommend everyone try this and come back and tell me what you think!  We are meat lovers, so I think when we make it again we will add more smoked sausage and possibly a little more Velveeta (I’m a cheese LOVER!) but the recipe is completely awesome just as it is!  This is another recipe that I found floating around on Facebook, so I’m not sure who to credit for the recipe or the picture… but thank you to whoever you Read more [...]

Here is yet another awesome recipe I found being passed around and shared on Facebook.  It sounded so yummy that I just had to try it.  My family and I had it for dinner last night and we loved it!  When I first read the recipe I thought it sounded like a lot of work, but it wasn’t nearly as difficult as I thought it would be.  I thought that it would be difficult to handle and bread the chicken once it was stuffed, but it wasn’t difficult at all – not one of mine fell apart!  I forgot to take Read more [...]

Chicken Parmesan Pizza Recipe

Chicken Parmesan Pizza

I bought a new cookbook yesterday when we went to Sam’s Club… it’s called Southern Living: The Way to Fry.  Just what I needed, a book FULL of fried recipes… but they all looked and sounded so good I couldn’t resist!  Most of the recipes are really simple with ingredients that most people would already have or would typically use in everyday cooking.  There aren’t many (if any) of the fancy ingredients in the recipes… these are my kind of recipes! Here is the first one I am going to share Read more [...]

Bacon Cheddar Puffs

I found this recipe floating around on Facebook within the last few days so I’m not sure who deserves credit for the original recipe, but it is NOT my own recipe.  It just sounds so yummy that I had to share it.  I fully plan to try it once I’m over this broken foot and back on my own 2 feet so that I can get around my kitchen without getting frustrated.  If you decide to give it a try, please come back and comment below and let me know what you thought of it and if you have any suggestions about Read more [...]

Speaking Of Pancakes…

So…. today is National Pancake Day at IHOP!  Yay!  I hope everyone that lives near an IHOP takes advantage of their very generous offer!  And speaking of pancakes, my 2 yr old has been STUCK on having pancakes for breakfast the last few weeks!  So, I have been trying different things to flavor them in different ways for her.  I bought some boxed pancake mix that already had chocolate chips in it and she really likes that, so the other morning I decided to add some peanut butter into the mix Read more [...]
