Breakfast Casserole Christmas morning I make an egg casserole. As I’ve become a parent and my life has become much busier, I’ve become a fan of a good breakfast casserole. I can make this the night before, have it in the refrigerator, then pop it in the oven when I awaken. I’m also a fan…
Scalloped potatoes are a great side dish for any meal and I found a recipe on Facebook that I modified to my taste. The recipe that I found basically consisted of thyme, salt, pepper, sliced potatoes and a lot of cream. I modified this by adding some cheese and a little bit of seasoning. My…
This is one of my favorite fall crockpot meals! Making regular chili can be boring after a while so this Checkerboard Chicken Chili was a great way to mix up my fall dinner menu. My friend Nina (says she got the recipe from Kendra who got it from someone else….anyway) brought this over for one…

Spring is here and summer is around the corner. Time for some backyard BBQ! I picked up some pork ribs for an impromptu cookout. I like to cook them in the oven during the winter but I’m craving some of that smoky woody flavor that you can best get from a outdoor smoker. I bought…
If you are like me you have thousands of recipes stored everywhere! I have dozens of cookbooks. And printed copies from magazines and online. They are in every nook and cranny in my kitchen. A few years ago I tried using Keyingredient.com to organize them. I started typing in recipes that I had on scrapes…
