Slow Cooked Corned Beef and Cabbage

March 13, 2010

It is March, which means it is the time of year that corned beef goes on sale. Just about every store carries and marks down corn beef around St. Patrick’s Day. In my area it is really the only time of year you find corned beef for a good price.
Corned beef is one of those things that [...]

Slow Cooked Beef Stew

March 12, 2010

Growing up we ate a lot of stew. It was on the menu often. It was one of my dad’s favorite ways to eat beef, so we had it frequently.
For a long time I did not like stew. I think I ate too much of it growing up, but my husband loves it, so I find myself [...]

Quick and Easy Beef and Rice

December 9, 2009

This recipe is adapted from my quick and easy beef and barley. We have really enjoyed the barley version, but I have wanted to try adapt this dish using rice for a long time. Since I can no longer have barley, it was a good time to finally give a rice version a try.

Cheeseburger Pie

October 7, 2009

This is a simple recipe.  It is based on my cheeseburger calzone. It is basically the same with a different crust. Instead of using pizza crust, I used pie crust.  I really like the calzone version, but I think I like the pie version better.  Maybe that is because pie crust is not nearly as [...]

Mexican Pizza

August 17, 2009

Two of my son’s favorite types of food are pizza and anything mexican.  When we were on vacation in June we ate at Taco Bell.  It had been a long time since we had eaten at a Taco Bell.  Often when we eat out at fast food, we do not give our kids a choice of [...]
