Spaghetti Squash Deluxe
I got this cookbook when I was a junior in high school. I bought it from my Home-Ec teacher, Mrs. Cole. Itās full of yummy goodness ā but most of it is also full of processed ingredients. However, Iāve become quite good at switching out those processed things for homemade thingsā¦and now that Iāve said that, my next dish will probably taste like dog food. [Read more…]
Crock Pot Spaghetti Squash
So, Iām pretty much obsessed with spaghetti squash. Itās fun to fix and itās fun to eat. My obsession started about two years ago when I made Spaghetti Squash Casserole for the first time ā itās just been a downward spiral since then. It could be worse. It could be a downward spiral with chocolate and peanut butter. Oh ā wait a minute. I have that too.
Iāve already showed you guys via video how I normally prepare a spaghetti squash. But, being the crock pot lover that I am, I thought I would be a genius and try it in there ā turns out, itās already been done. Yāall even told me that in the spaghetti squash post. I believe the Bible says, āthere is nothing new under the sunā¦ā and dude, the Bible is always right. [Read more…]
75 Real Food Side Dishes
Sometimes it can be hard to come up with good side dishes when you decide to eat more ārealā food. All those quick and easy side dishes of your past are nixed. No more Kraft Mac-and-Cheese, no more Pork ān Beans, no more Hungry Man instant potatoes. The truth is, real food sides can be so easyā¦and very quick. Roast any veggie ā steam and add butter or chop up a quick salad.
My problem is that sometimes I just get in a rutā¦broccoli, again? *Sigh* So, I set out to find some real food side dishes. The recipes abound! However, I thought it would be nice if they were all in one spot so they would be easier to find when I was in a hurryā¦because, while I love meal planning, I donāt always plan side dishes. I just write āside dish.ā Creative, huh? [Read more…]
Homemade Seasoned Salt
I remember when I first became aware of MSGā¦I was engaged to Barry. Yes, I realize I must have lived in a dream world before that. When I was younger, MSG was a joke you made about Chinese foodā¦MSG and dogs. Ha, ha! Okay, donāt get offended, I was only joking.
I really started thinking about it because Barryās grandmother couldnāt eat anything with MSG in it or she got sickā¦every time. Sorta made me start to wonder about it ā should food need a flavor enhancer like that? Or shouldnāt it just TASTE GOOD to begin with? Me thinks yes. Food should taste good on its ownā¦with salt. Food needs salt. Iām the salt queen.
Cracker Salad
When I was younger, I didnāt like salad. There were lots of things I didnāt like: sour cream, salmon, tilapia, avocado, cream cheeseā¦.looking back, Iām not sure what was going on with me then.
Growing up changes your tastes ā at least Iām hoping that for some of my family members. *Cough* Anyway, these days I embrace salad. And if you follow me on Instagram youāll see that I post pictures of my salads often. Iām always looking for a good one ā my favorite being Cornbread Salad, but this comes a very close second. Iāll try to do better at posting salad recipes. [Read more…]

Sometimes the crock pot isnāt for long cooking ā sometimes itās for keeping the house cool. Sometimes itās for making more room on the stove if youāre cooking for a crowd and need that space. Sometimes itās because your oven is broken. Sometimes itās because youāre obsessed with your crock pot. [Read more…]
