I just recently tried this recipe, and on a hunch that our family might like it, took pictures along the way so that I could share it with you all! Our family enjoyed it (with a few modifications, as I have listed) and it will probably go in to “make again sometime” file. …

Seared Scallops with Garlic Beurre Blanc
Seared scallops are even more special when served with this delicious, garlicky wine-butter sauce. So, when the folks over at Land O Lakes invited several bloggers to create new recipes using their new Butter with Olive Oil and Sea Salt, I knew scallops would be the perfect accompaniment!
Chicken Fried Rice
Whenever we have a lot over leftover white rice, I like to put Chicken Fried Rice on the menu. This recipe also works with chicken, pork, shrimp, or even without protein and as veggie fried rice. It’s a filling dish that allows you to use just about whatever you want or have on…
Sausage, Peppers, & Onions
When I find bell peppers on sale, this is one of my favorite dishes in which to use them (I also highly recommend Sausage, Pepper, & Onion Pizza, too!) The ingredients cook in a tomato-based sauce that’s accented with a bottle of your favorite beer! If you don’t have beer on hand, feel…
German Pizza
German Pizza is a filling dish that is simple to make. As with many dishes I make, it is customizable to your tastes. It’s a dish that my husband’s dad made on a semi-frequent basis, and that he considered to be one of his specialties. My husband remembers that his dad always thought…

Pretzel Dogs
Awhile back, I was watching one of those behind-the-scenes food shows on television, which detail how your favorite things to eat are made. There was a segment on a pretzel shop and how they make their popular soft pretzels. The host of the show casually mentioned they also sell “pretzel dogs”, and the…
Rigatoni with Roasted Broccoli and Red Onions
I found this recipe while paging through the February issue of Woman’s Day. The bright colors of the vegetables caught my attention, and then the recipe list did, because I surprisingly had everything on hand! So, I added it to my weekly menu plan. I am so glad that I did, because it…
Hamburger Vegetable Soup
I recently gave away a copy of The Money Saving Mom’s Budget, by Crystal Paine of Money Saving Mom. I thought it would be fun to also feature one of Crystal’s recipes that we have come to love in our household, Hamburger Vegetable Soup!
