Since fish is pretty much the best choice when it comes to picking a protein, I am always playing around with different methods of preparing it. This one happens to be my newest favorite. There are just so many layers of flavor and texture, beautifully wrapped into one easy to prepare dish. This fork-tender fish…
A spin on the traditional meat-and-potatoes manly meal, these meatballs were made with both my Cowboy, and my little one in mind. Everything is more fun in the shape of a ball! And just as I hoped, they both gave me rave reviews. As if their clean plates and requests for seconds didn’t say enough…
Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and in my case, a baby is following closely behind. So Cowboy is taking me to Destin for my Mother’s Day present / babymoon. With the beach on the brain, I have been stuck on seafood all week. I cooked up a delicious shrimp stir-fry, some pan fried cod…
This sweet and spicy combination is delicious spooned over my Slow Cooker Pulled Pork. Brine the onions and peppers when you put your roast in the slow cooker, and they will be ready just in time for supper. The longer they sit, the better the flavor. You may want to make a double batch to enjoy…

These crispy litte fellas made the perfect topping for my BBQ loaded sweet potatoes. Well…..what was left of them, after my husband ate half the batch 😉 I see a great future in store for this recipe. Obviously, they make an awesome appetizer. I’m also thinking a green bean casserole is in order. Oh boy,…
Its almost summertime! For me, that means lots of barbeques and cooking outside on the grill. So before we got too far into the warm weather, I just HAD to perfect my Barbeque Sauce. This couldn’t be just any barbeque sauce, no. It had to be the perfect blend of spicy, tangy,…

Apparently I’ve been in a shrimpy mood lately. I just love how easy they are to cook, and the fact that my 2 year old will down a whole plateful of them. I had originally intended on doing some grilling, since the weather is pretty perfect right now. However, I forgot to buy some skewers….and…
