How is everyone doing this holiday weekend? We have been busy moving in the kids and getting things settled down. This hello fresh discount code has been a life saver! I have also done a few Halloween projects for my posts on Hometalk (click on the icon to the right) so I have been very…
Beef
Ranchero Tacos
I think I have told you in the past about our non-traditional holiday celebrations but in case you missed it or weren’t reading last year, I will tell you a little about our Thanksgivings here at our house. As you may have surmised, we have a blended family. Mr. Picky Eater and I married 8…
Tex-Mex French Bread Bierock
Sometimes I make mistakes and then I try to improvise. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not work and this time? Oh – it MORE than worked, it rocked! This morning I roasted Hatch Green Chiles and had in mind to make sort of Tex-Mex French Bread Bierock. Whatever – it is fantastic and…
Smoking Ribs in a Homemade Smoker for the Oven
You can find everything you need to build this smoker at just about any discount store in the country. As I purchased the items to make this one, I kept a tally and find that currently, it costs about $12 and all items may be recycled once you are finished. You will need…
Ranch Roast
Saturday, I got a big roast cut it in half and froze half then I was going to make Italian beef sandwiches. I opened the cabinets and of course I didn’t have several of the ingredients I needed so I decided to just make it up – luckily for me it turned out great! I…
Mom’s Meatloaf Sandwich
My friend Pam over at Pa-Blam was tagged in a blogging world party game called 5 Things Meme. She was supposed to tell us 5 things about herself that you most likely don’t know and tag 5 more people. It made her so nervous to tag others, she just told us to consider ourselves tagged….
The Elegant Hamburger
Sorry everyone, only plated pictures of this one. No tutorial because Rocket is here this evening and while I am cooking, he is usually in his high chair “helping” me. There’s no time for pictures when Rocket is in the room, unless they are of him – he loves to have his picture taken. The…
Meat Lovers French Onion Soup
I think y’all know how picky my husband is and honestly, he ate this only because he couldn’t find anything else in the house at the time. It’s supposed to rain Wednesday so this would be a perfect thing to make but it takes a L-O-N-G time so it’s more of a My-Day-Off-From-Work thing to…
Cheesy Beef Enchiladas
I am bone tired! I got up at 4AM this morning, my day off, so I could get started on all the projects I have to do, get my hair cut and colored, and supper on the table. I got most all that completed and I will post pix of my projects soon but tonight,…
Taco Meatball Wreath Appetizers or a Meal
Several days ago, I was reading my FB newsfeed when one of the pages I follow showed this great picture saying they were preparing that meal for dinner. The page is called Briar Rose Bed and Breakfast. The B & B is a beautiful place in Reedsville, Pennsylvania and the proprietors are just lovely people!…
