I love homemade salsa and I think I have like 100 different recipes but my two most recent recipes have been favorites! I’m about flavor with salsa and not heat, whereas the hubs is all about heat, so when I make salsa I have to make two batches. Becomes a lot of work but since…

Cheesy Homemade Mac
I love comfort foods, mac and cheese is no exception, it is the Ultimate comfort food! It’s my son’s favorite thing to eat, period haha. My mom’s always made a homemade Mac and cheese that’s to die for, but I can never seem to make it taste like hers, so this time I broke the…
Whiskey steak Marinade
Trying out some new cuts of meat and such, I bought Flat Iron Steaks. Wasn’t sure what to do with them, so the Food Network helped me out (hello inspirations). I didn’t follow the recipe to the T, which can be found here, but I used the marinade ingredients. Instead of Jack Daniels Whiskey I used…

Pizza Pasta!
Sounds interesting, but it is delicious!! I wasn’t sure what to make for dinner last night and it was a meatless night; usually 3 nights a week we have a meatless dinner. My kids love pizza, but I am not the biggest fan all the time wanting pizza, so I thought about combining pasta with…

Fresh, Chunky Applesauce
Originally I found a version of this on Bon Appetite, but it didn’t sound as flavorful as it could have been. So I created my own version and here it is!!! My good friend brought me a giant bag of apples from her family’s trees and I was panicking on what to do with 26…
Friiiiiied Chicken
I loooove fried chicken. When I was a kid, my grandma always made it for us, but when she moved to the lower 48 fried chicken was rare unless I went to KFC (so not the same!). When I moved out of my parents house, fried chicken became a regular thing again because it’s just…
Peanut Butter Banana Cookies Review
After awhile I get tired of the same old cookies. You can only eat so many chocolate chip cookies or snickerdoodles! I am not a huge fan of peanut butter, so PB cookies are hard to digest for me. So, I sprung for something new! I came across these peanut butter banana cookies at Gimmesomeoven.com…
