Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
Fall has arrived and that means it's time to make all the comforting and hearty meals. The first recipe I wanted to make was Taco Lasagna. I need some meals that give us leftovers for our busy weeknights and this definitely was perfect. We all enjoyed this meal and were able to customize with toppings… Continue reading Taco Lasagna
My kids may complain about not being able to order from our favorite Chinese/Japanese restaurant all the time, but this recipe is just as almost as good as what we get there.

Shortly after the temperatures start to drop and there's a chill in the air, I want to make every type of soup I can. This is the first recipe of 2020 ...

Lately, I've been in a rut for dinner. We've been eating the same almost every week and I decided it was time to change that. I've been in the mood for garlic beef and found this recipe I had pinned. My kids complained the entire time about what I was making - but lately that's… Continue reading Garlic Beef and Broccoli
We're coming out of the Polar Vortex and I'm so glad I made this dish earlier in the week. It was the perfect thing for leftovers.

Salisbury steak is one of the those foods that I associate with frozen dinners. I don't think I ever ate one, but this recipe is nothing like a TV dinner. The steak patty is moist and packed full of flavor. Then add on the mushroom and onion gravy and you have a delicious dinner. I… Continue reading Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy
I'm always looking for quick dinners and this one fits! I love stir-fry - there's something about meat and veggies in a delicious sauce served over rice or quinoa......except when your kids complain about it. When I made this, my kids were off - I'm blaming the full moon! My son told me he doesn't… Continue reading Mongolian Beef Stir-Fry
There's nothing more simple than throwing a chuck roast, onions and spices into a slow cooker and letting it cook all day long to show up 6 hours later and dinner is cooked. This pot roast was delicious and we all loved the cooked onions that went with it. I served it over egg noodles,… Continue reading French Onion Pot Roast
Another delicious recipe made in my Instant Pot! I'm really enjoying the ability to make inexpensive cuts of beef taste like they've been cooking all day long in such a short amount of time. This was a big hit with everyone in my family including my 4 year old who is currently being super picky!… Continue reading Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff
