Tacos are one of my favorite meals. They’re quick and easy and can easily be made on a weeknight. Plus with all the fresh veggies I put on top, I feel like I’m eating healthy (let’s forget about the cheese, sour cream and hard shell enveloping everything). These tacos use my homemade taco seasoning…
Homemade Taco Seasoning
I’ve never really liked tacos made with the pre-mixed taco seasoning. They always seemed dry and salty to me. You see, growing up, my mom would make us tacos using tomato sauce, chili powder and garlic salt. Simple but I think the tomato sauce brought a lot of flavor and moisture to the ground beef,…
Blueberry Cobbler Bars
Shortly after we got back from picking blueberries this summer I saw this recipe on Pinterest for Blueberry Cobbler Bars. Now, if you saw my post on Individual Blueberry Crisps you know I was definitely in need of some ideas on how to use up the blueberries and this was the perfect idea! I finally…
Tuna Casserole
A few weeks ago, Tory posted a recipe for Goulash, one of her favorite comfort foods and given my dislike of goulash wanted to know what I would eat when I wanted a nostalgic dish. Here’s your answer: When I’m craving comfort food, tuna casserole is one of my go-to meals to make. It really…
Roasted Red Pepper Soup with Goat Cheese
Lately, I’ve been spending a lot of my weekends in our hometown of Ely. When Sunday afternoon rolls around, I find it harder and harder to leave so I usually stall by parking myself on a bar stool at my favorite establishment, The Boathouse Brewpub & Restaurant. Since I eventually have to drive 4 hours…
Easy Italian Shrimp
I love to make this shrimp dish when we’re hunting because it’s so easy and requires no clean-up. In fact, I just made it for one of our duck hunting trips this fall. It only takes 4 ingredients – and you can tell why this is so good, I’m using a stick of butter per…
Chicken Sausage over Grilled Veggie Hash
We’ve been trying to incorporate some lighter options into our meal repertoire along with more vegetables. But one of the most important things to us is that these lighter meals still have big flavors. We were in the mood to grill sausage the other day and were trying to decide on a side dish. I…
Philly Cheese Steak Stuffed Peppers
True to my carb loving nature, there’s almost nothing I love more than a quality sandwich (aka slamwich aka sangwich). Lately, health nuts love to hate on carbs and they make me feel guilty for eating them (life tip: don’t ever let anyone make you feel something you don’t want to), so a couple years…
Everything Lo Mein
It was during my freshman year of college that I discovered Food Network. Specifically, the show I got hooked on was ’30 Minutes a Day with Rachel Ray’. That I didn’t even know about Food Network until college might seem odd to some, but we didn’t have cable growing up so you could say I…
Broccoli Cheese (& Carrot) Soup
Growing up our mom used to make steamed broccoli and carrots that she would top with American cheese and cover it until it melted. As Tory mentioned in her Roasted Broccoli post, this is the only way she used to like broccoli. It also happened to be one of my favorite vegetables; I think the…
