Dutch Oven Chocolate Cake

My parents came out for a visit this past weekend. While they were here, I thought it would be fun to attempt some food in the dutch oven . Now that we have an actual back yard, I can try it at home instead of only when we go camping. I wasn’t confident...

Green Chili

Jay sent me a recipe and said it was so awesome that I had to make it. Since he rarely sends me recipes, I figured I’d give it a shot. Part way through the cooking process, my noise started to burn. Then I looked over at Tyla and her eyes were watering...

Snowmaghetti

As our snowstorm dragged on last week, the pantry started getting thin. Thankfully we’re only a half mile walk from the grocery store, but what fun is that? I decided to invent some dinner. Since they were calling the storm “snowmaggedon”...

Baked Mac and Cheese

I tried making baked mac and cheese a few weeks ago and it turned out gross. I found a new recipe that was supposed to be healthier. We changed it a bit by using broccoli and tomatoes instead of spinach and it was fantastic! I’ve included that change...

Bacon Weave: Second Attempt

For Father’s Day, I brought the ingredients for a bacon log over to Don’s house and we set to work. This time we added crumbled, cooked bacon in the middle of the log and a rub on the outside of the log. The real improvement was that Don cooked it for...

Tuna Casserole

“Tuna” and “casserole” are not two words which usually excite people, but for some reason it sounded good one night. I must say, it turned out to be quite delicious. The recipe comes straight from allrecipes.com and I didn’t...

Bacon Wrapped Tater Tots

This is barely a recipe, but I’ll post it anyway because it was so delicious. Take a strip of bacon, cut off part of it and wrap it around a tater tot. I didn’t do this, but it might be a good idea to stick a toothpick through it to hold it all together...

Creamy Pasta with Sausage and Tomatoes

I was randomly flipping through food.com when I stumbled across this. It turned out to be delicious! The hardest part was finding canned plum tomatoes, but Tyla eventually spotted them on the store shelf. Ingredients 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/2 lb sweet...

Dutch Oven Goulash

The in-laws got me a Dutch oven stand for my birthday and I was excited to give it a shot. The problem is that in my condo, the only place I have to do this is on the deck. Charcoal fires are against the rules but I thought I could get away with it…...

Taco Seasoning

What is in those magic packets of taco seasoning that you get in the store? It’s probably stuff that you already have in your spice cabinet. I’ve started making my own and I love it because I can tweak the balance to be just what I want. I make up enough...

Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff

The slow cooker hasn’t been out of the cupboard for a while, but for some reason, cooler weather makes me want to fire it up. I found a recipe for beef stroganoff and decided to give it a shot. One of the reasons I love the slow cooker is because...

Mexican Lasagna

I whipped up some Mexican Lasagna a few nights ago and it was fantastic! I’ve made similar dishes before, but this time, the flour tortillas were really moist and almost had the texture of normal lasagna noodles. This recipe comes from the Taste of Home...
