  • Mexican Stuffed Shells

    Mexican Stuffed Shells

    I still have leftover shells from the stuffed jumbo shells I made a little while back. I decided to make these Mexican Stuffed Shells. It pretty much is a taco inside a shell but without all the good veggies. Good thing for tasty salsa! Ingredients: 14 jumbo pasta shells 1 pound ground beef 1 taco…

  • Peanut Butter Cookies (to die for!)

    Peanut Butter Cookies (to die for!)

    Last year I found this amazing Peanut Butter Cookie recipe. I like it because it uses less peanut butter than most recipes. Peanut butter can tend to be a little bit overwhelming. Not that this is a healthy recipe by any means. There is a lot of butter and a lot of sugar. That is…

    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…

    What to make for dinner? What to make for dinner? This question is always lingering around in my head before I head home from work. Do I want to take the time to make something, or just throw something together really quick? As I sat at my desk, pondering what to make, I thought about…

    Over the past several years, my mom, sister and I have gotten together to make Christmas cookies. It has been a blast. Usually, we just make my grandma’s awesome White Cookies and then maybe one or two other cookies that we are familiar with making. Last year, we spent hours decorating the white cookies with…

    Of course we had even more leftovers than just the smashed harvest veggies. We have a ton of turkey! My favorite Thanksgiving leftover. Last year I tried turkey soup and a turkey pot pie. Both of which turned out great! This year I decided to give turkey enchiladas a try. That is what I spent…

    There are always so many leftovers from Thanksgiving. I decided that my smashed harvest veggies would be tasty inside some ravioli. Tonight I decided I would give making my first ravioli a try. (First noodle making experience as well). It was a little difficult considering I do not have a pasta machine, but I rolled…

    Brent and I hosted Thanksgiving again this year, but we were in charge of the meal. I woke up bright and early at 6 to prepare our post Huffing for Stuffing Race caramel rolls. While the dough was rising, I prepared my first turkey. I was kind of nervous because people tend to make a…

     We had a few friends over the other night to carve pumpkins. I had to make a few treats for everyone to share. Of course, I needed to use my fresh pumpkin. You cannot have a pumpkin carving party without pumpkin goodies! The Cardamom Bread has become a staple of mine during the fall season.…
