Lemon, Thyme, & Garlic Whole Roasted Chicken
I know, I know… I ranted and raved about soup season in my last blog, BUT! Another one of my favorite things to cook during the fall are whole roasts… it could be chicken, pork, beef, turkey, even venison that the hubby harvested himself! You name it, it’s fair game for roasting in my cast […]

I know, I know, I said the same thing when I was first learning about them; but, once I mastered the technique, I realized that the possibilities were endless when creating these beauties.

It truly is fascinating… inspiring actually. […]

“Hot Jambalaya”
Since we moved to Iowa a year and a half ago, the holidays have been quiet, but a very welcoming quietness if I do say so myself! We both have crazy work schedules and sometimes it is even hard to sit down and eat together during the week, and even on the weekends for that […]

Loaded Mashed Potato Soup
Nothing soothes the winter blues better than a nice hot bowl of homemade soup. Heck, I do not even care what kind of soup it is… broth based, cream based, filled with my favorite meats or just piled high with lots of veggies, I do not care! As long as it is in my favorite […]
