Three Bean Soup
I grew up with my mom making this three bean soup, and I was obsessed with it. As a kid I LOVED bacon (which I hate now) so this soup was a huge treat. I now leave out the bacon, but it’s great both with and without it. It’s also very easy, and filling, which […]
Gumbo
This is one of those meals that I made solely to get those cute wife points from K. And, so when we do that ridiculous, I love you more crap, I can say, nope, I made you Gumbo. K loves this meal, and we even made it for my parents, and they loved it too! […]
Beer Bread
We found this recipe while making Gumbo for K, and now it’s a necessity for him anytime Gumbo is on the menu. I’ve tried it too, and it’s quite good! It’d go well with other soups too, if Gumbo isn’t your thing. And, if you’re worried about the beer, it bakes out, and it doesn’t […]
Manicotti
Another awesome recipe from my mom! Manicotti was one of my favorite meals growing up, and is still one of my favorite comfort foods to have every once in a while. We like to pair ours with brussels sprouts or green beans, and rolls. This recipe is actually really fast and easy too, which is […]
Jerk Chicken
Crock pot meals are our jam lately, and I’m absolutely loving it. We meal prep on the weekends, and having lunches and dinners made until mid week has been a huge help for it. It allows for K and I to still have some time to spend together to play games, watch a movie, or […]
Cafe Rio Style Salads
Cafe Rio is a frequently visited place in my family. When my dad and sisters go to lunch, or I call up my dad to see if he wants to go to lunch, this is the place that is most often chosen. Cafe Rio can get pricey when going that often, so when my mom […]
Black Bean and Rice Burritos
It’s been a long time since K and I have had a meat free meal that we actually enjoyed, and wanted for more than one day in a row. We loved these burritos, and if you have to have meat you could easily grill some chicken and throw it in. The options are totally endless […]
Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki Sauce
When I think of gyros I think of lamb gyros, which makes me want to never eat again, but these chicken gyros are pretty tasty, and so easy to make. If you are a dill lover you can add a bit more dill to the sauce. We also made some homemade flat bread rather than […]
