Key Lime Pie

I’ve had key lime pie on my mind for quite a while, and, while standing in the grocery store last weekend, I decided it was time to give it a shot. I pulled up a recipe on my phone and was shocked at how simple it was. Key lime juice, egg  yolk,...

Chili

I love chili, and when I make chili, I generally say the spicier the better. I made it last week and I think I finally made it too spicy even for me. I won’t go into details. You should just be thankful you don’t live with me. Here is the...

Cookies!

A few weeks ago, I did something I’ve never done before: make cookies. I feel pretty confident with cooking, but baking is the wild west as far as I’m concerned. The first recipe was one I spotted on Facebook in an exchange between the Abendroth...

Peanut Butter Noodles

It’s been a while since we’ve had a “Cooking with Tyla and Ben” post. This one is mostly Tyla’s brainchild. She had a hankerin’ for some peanut butter noodles. The only change we made from the allrecipes.com script was the addition of a chicken breast...

Idaho Nachos

On our trip to Indiana, we stopped at Granite City for dinner. It’s one of Tyla’s favorites and I finally got to try the Idaho Nachos that I heard so much about. Last weekend we decided to try and make them for ourselves. I think they actually tasted...

Strawberry Pretzel Salad

This is one of my summertime favorites, and even though it’s not summer yet, I decided to whip up a pan of this and take it to Easter dinner. Nobody there had seen it before, but most of the pan was gone by the time I left! It sounds weird but I promise...

Hippy Loaf

Since we started making food together, Tyla has been talking about some crazy meatloaf that she had once before. On Saturday, we decided to recreate it. It’s a Bobby Flay recipe marked as Easy with a 20 minute prep time. There are a lot of ingredients...

Italian Style Chicken Breasts

Hopefully Mom doesn’t mind me posting her top secret family recipe. This is one of our family favorites. Two thumbs up! On a side note, I realized that it’s kind of silly to have a ranking system for recipes that make it to the blog. Why would I post...

Chicken Stuffing Divan

Tyla and I found this recipe in the Campbell’s Casseroles and One-Dish Meals book. It was so good we made it again the next week. Our only change was using chicken instead of the recommended turkey. It would taste just as good with turkey though...

Mint Brownies

If you’ve ever been to a pot luck meal at church, you’re probably very familiar with mint brownies, at least that’s what I associate them with. These are the brownies with a green mint frosting covered in a harder chocolate frosting. We put our own twist...

Nacho Chicken and Rice Wraps

Over the last half year, Tyla and I have been trying all kinds of new recipes. Some have bombed. Some are on permanent rotation. It seemed like good blog content, so I’m introducing a new post category: Recipes . So without further adieu, I present...
