My mom was not THE best cook, but she did what she could. There were times where the burned bottom of a roll was “extra flavor”. The one thing I remember from being a kid that my mom made was meatloaf. It was one of the recipes from scratch that always came out good. Whenever… Read more

Turkey Meatballs
There are many things that I don’t ever really remember eating until I met my husband. It’s not because he had pushed them on me, more along the lines that I had never eaten them growing up. Like mac and cheese, chicken and sour cream enchiladas, banana pancakes… I had never eaten or even thought… Read more
Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas
My husband is convinced that I’m really not half Scot and half Mutt. He’s convinced that I’m actually half Mexican and Italian, mostly because those are two of my favorite types of cuisine to cook. I think he would have added some sort of reference to baking, but there isn’t a cultural cuisine that is… Read more
Mac And Cheese
This really has to be one of my husbands favorite dishes. He LOVES mac and cheese when we get it at restaurants or fast food. Honestly? I don’t think I had ever eaten mac and cheese growing up. Yes, I was a weird one.
First Ever Home Made Pizza!
For the longest time I’ve been wanting to make home made pizza. I’m not talking about grabbing a premade/shaped crust, and adding toppings (pizza dough in a can doesn’t count either). I’m referencing one of those times where you make the dough yourself, everything is made start to finish (well except cheese, I don’t know… Read more
Marinated Salmon
For dinner Saturday, I decided to do something that I had not done in several years since living with my family. Italian marinated salmon. Whenever we would make salmon, we would let it marinade in Italian salad dressing. We liked to use a really good one, like the one at Olive Garden (you can buy… Read more
Banana Pancakes
I don’t know why exactly, but I suddenly got the idea to make pancakes. Not just any pancakes, but banana pancakes! I’ve never had or made banana pancakes but it seemed like a great way to have a sweet pancake without adding a whole lot of sugar to them. The natural sugars from the bananas… Read more
Italian Grilled Cheese
It’s the breakfast of champions! Well maybe not, but it’s what I had for breakfast this morning after craving it for weeks. What I call the Italian Grilled Cheese, others would probably call a Panini. To me that’s just a super fancy grilled cheese. Call it what it is people, a grilled cheese! I have… Read more
Banana Bread
Normally, I’m not that big fan of banana bread. Don’t get me wrong, it’s best when warm, with a little butter and the outside has a little bit of crunch. The husband loves pretty much anything sweet or covered in chocolate, so in the mode of trying to help our waist lines while still enjoying… Read more
