    Guacamole & Bacon Grilled Cheese

    I saw a picture of this sandwich and just had to make it. It sounded amazing!! Not too difficult either since it is grilled cheese. Take your favorite guacamole (I opted for homemade!), fry some crispy bacon, your favorite bread, and some cheddar cheese! You know what to do with the rest! Mighty tasty! Only…

  • Lasagna Soup

    Lasagna Soup

    Soup and lasagna combined, why not? This sounded like a great alternative to the normal lasagna or soup dish. As I looked through recipes, this one caught my eye. I have to try that!

  • Stuffed Jumbo Pasta Shells & Homemade French Bread

    Stuffed Jumbo Pasta Shells & Homemade French Bread

    I normally do not make a nice meal on Sundays as it tends to be a lazy and relaxed day in the kitchen. As I was busy preparing meals for a friends that just had a baby, I took advantage of my cooking mood. Brent helped finish the meal for my friends as I scrambled…

    I woke up this morning to Brent telling me to sleep in! Sure thing as I thought as he hopped in the shower and I just laid in bed. Then he headed downstairs as I got ready for the day. As I made my way downstairs, I could hear Brent fiddling around in the kitchen.…

    After a day of single digit temperatures, there was nothing more desirable than soup for dinner. Homemade soup it was! This would be great served with Zopf bread or biscuits. Feel free to add other vegetables as I only used what I had on hand. Enjoy! 1 medium onion diced 2 tsp minced garlic 1/2 cup…
