You know how you have those pivotal moments in life? Moments that you remember with astonishing clarity? In my life, I have a few of those moments. One of them was all about Cornbread Salad. I remember where I was, the table, my plate… I remember it all. That Cornbread Salad changed my life. From hence forth, I was a Cornbread Salad connoisseur.

Breakfast Pizza
Raise your hand if you like cold pizza. Lame. Cold pizza is grody. No. Thank. You. Guess what? I’m married to a man who likes cold pizza – God is funny like that. But, on the flip side, I don’t like my pizza piping hot. I kinda like it warm…so that the cheese doesn’t burn the roof of my mouth. I have issues with waiting until food cools down…that’s normal, right?
Lots of people like pizza for breakfast. They grab a leftover piece out of the fridge and head to work…or class. When I was in college, lots of my friends ate cold pizza for breakfast. Not me – no way. I had higher standards than that – Toaster Strudels, baby…they are classier than Pop Tarts. 😉 [Read more…]
Crock Pot German Meatloaf
So, if you don’t have a thing for meat, this might not be the blog for you. Because really; I might be considered meat-obsessed. I get excited over different variations of meatloaf and meatballs. Sincerely excited. And yes, I realize that might be considered slightly pathetic, but that’s okay. I could be obsessed with worse things…like belly button lint or dust bunnies. And this thought just actually occurred to me, but do you realize that if belly button lint is left long enough, it could possibly turn into a DUST BUNNY? Wow. Now that will get you thinking.
But, I digress. We’re talking about meat, right? Yep. I love making meatloaf in the crock pot. If you’ve not tried out my other three versions: Traditional, Sweet Potato, and Cheeseburger, then you don’t know what you’re missing. Meat just makes bellies happy…I’m still thinking about belly button lint now. [Read more…]
Tropical Island Pancakes (GF)
Pancakes are a sure win in this house. I can’t say that about everything I make…because some things have crrruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust, Mama! Or black specks. Or burned edges. But pancakes? Everyone likes pancakes. And they’re easy. And I like flipping them.
These days my favorite way to make pancakes is with coconut flour. I love the flavor and texture. If you’re not a huge fan of coconut flour, you probably won’t like these. Sorry – just thought I would clear the air right now. And yes, these do taste like coconut. I’m on a roll! [Read more…]
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. It’s full of yummy goodness – but most of it is also full of processed ingredients. However, I’ve become quite good at switching out those processed things for homemade things…and now that I’ve said that, my next dish will probably taste like dog food. [Read more…]
Crock Pot White Chicken Lasagna
Y’all have read about my list making obsession. I’ve told you about the list I keep of things to do and eventually I cross them off. I’ve also told you that in the past little bit, I’ve gotten overwhelmed and nothing was getting crossed off my list. Now that I’ve remedied that, I find that crossing things off my To-Do list is a great kind of therapy for me. You should try it some time.
So, this is one of those things that was on my list. Now it’s crossed off. Add to that, the fact that it includes a crock pot, and you know I’m pretty tickled with myself. In this family, we really enjoy Crock Pot Lasagna. I even have a Black Bean version in my Crock On Cookbook. So, this is just another doozy to add to my arsenal. It’s great for serving to company. So, let’s hop to it! [Read more…]
Coconut Milk Chicken + Allergen Friendly Cookbook
There are approximately 4.5 billion ways you can cook chicken. And yet, it seems most people get in a chicken rut: chicken Alfredo, baked chicken, grilled chicken, blah blah blah. If you haven’t yet figured it out, one of my goals here is to get you out of your food rut – whether it be a side dish rut or a skillet meal rut.
Recently, I have a love affair with coconut. Not gonna lie, I’m putting it in just about everything: cake, granola, muffins, cake, eggs in coconut oil, cake, coffee, cake, and sometimes coffee cake. I’m also using a lot more coconut milk because I like sniffing it. I just like sniffing coconut in general. I think this might be getting out of hand – my mom is concerned. “It was pretty good – but there’s coconut in it again.”
Crock Pot Tuscan Chicken
So, this recipe was born because I bought a jar of sun dried tomatoes – and then I didn’t know what to do with it. So, they sat in my basement for a while…until I almost knocked them off the shelf and broke them. Then I figured it might be in my best interest to use them so that I wouldn’t end up cleaning them off the floor.
I’ve never been to Tuscany – and I’ve never really had Tuscan food. I’m not even sure what makes it Tuscan…garlic? If you know, please tell me in the comments. And I know you do, because I have the smartest readers EVAH! But, I know that a lot of Tuscan recipes call for sundried tomatoes…and so, I call this Tuscan Chicken! Voila!
Pumpkin Breakfast Cake (GF)
If you search Pinterest or Swagbucks for pumpkin recipes, you will encounter approximately 1 trillion options…maybe more. My pumpkin recipes are but a drop in the bucket. This time of year, a pumpkin recipe starts to look kinda BLAH after you’ve seen a couple hundred of them. I even hesitated to use this cookbook.
But then I smacked myself and got over it. Why do I care if there are one trillion recipes for pumpkin already? There isn’t THIS one. And even if you don’t care, I do. I love this recipe and I’m sure glad I made it for my tummy. And guess what? Like I already told you, this isn’t the last pumpkin recipe you’re going to see. You’ve been warned. 😉 Make that 1 trillion and ONE. [Read more…]
Crock Pot Pumpkin Gingerbread Steel Cut Oats
Let’s cut to the chase here. Since I figured out how to make oats in the crock pot using a water bath instead of cooking them directly in the crock, it’s made my wheels turn a bit. I’ve been dreaming up all sorts of flavors to make – since I can actually get up and eat them instead of using the mixture as wallpaper paste.
This one came to me because, frankly – I like pumpkin stuff. That should be evident by the amount of recipes I post with it…soooooooooooooooo, being frank again (Frank and Pete must be related), if you don’t like pumpkin, you might want to zone out for the next few months and come back to me in the spring. Or when I run out of pumpkin – which isn’t likely to happen. [Read more…]
