wholesome and delicious meals from my table to yours
You may have guessed that my family eats a lot of Mexican and Tex Mex type foods by the amount of recipes that I share for them. They are meals that the whole family loves. I love them because they are usually quick and easy to make and don’t break the budget. Keeping it simple and inexpensive, while serving my family home cooked meals they all love, [...]
I spent the weekend in Texas and had such a fun time catching up with some great bloggers. There are way too many to name them all. Some I had met before and enjoyed catching up with. Others I knew from online, but had so much fun meeting in person. I also have a list of new sites to visit from those I met for [...]
I decided we needed something a little healthier in the midst of all the holiday candy that I have been sharing. I mean don’t get me wrong, we love Double Chocolate Chex Mix, Candy Bar Bark, and Maple Popcorn, but I still have to cook dinner every day. This time of year though, I need quick and easy dinners. I need to put healthy homemade [...]
Healthy eating is not easy this time of year. Food seems to be everywhere we go and often it is not healthy, good for you food. One of the reasons I have really enjoyed working with Way Better Snacks Tortilla Chips is that they promote healthy eating. Their tortilla chips contain things that are good for us, yes they are still a chip, but they [...]
Beans are often thought of as a very frugal ingredient to cook with and many people use them, but they are also often looked down on for that exact reason. Many people stay away for them because they are an inexpensive food. Other people stay away from them because they have memories of eating only beans and rice and grew tired of them. I am [...]
Last year I posted a video on how I cook dried beans in my crock pot, and I still love making them that way. It makes it so easy to cook up a large batch of beans and freeze them for use in soups and Mexican food. I recently learned a new tip for soaking my beans though that I am loving. It is really [...]
I think we all need a few recipes that are quick and easy. We need recipes that contain ingredients that we always have in our kitchen. This recipe is one of those. It is a quick and easy. This is one of those recipes that you can put on the table with very little work using ingredients you probably already have. This is nothing fancy. In [...]
I mentioned earlier this year that I was planning on doing a series on kitchen terms and definitions. Well, I decided to call the series Cooking Basics. This way I can cover basics terms and definitions, but also some basic cooking how to’s. Today I thought I would start with cooking dried beans. Whenever I write about cooking dried beans I receive several emails and comments from [...]
We love black beans. I cook more black beans than any other type of beans. I use them to make my homemade refried beans, but I also like to take plain cooked beans and season them to serve with other Mexican type meals. Beans and rice are very inexpensive to serve, but lets face it, they can be very boring and tiring served on their own. The good thing [...]
I love to cook and bake, and it is a good thing, because my family loves to eat. I live with my husband and three kids on 43 acres in Northeastern Oklahoma. Between homeschooling, helping in my husband’s dental office, working on our property, taking care of three dogs, and raising hogs as a side job/hobby, I am constantly on the go like most of you.
