Cheesy Beans & Rice has become one of our family’s favorite quick dishes. It would make a great side, but has enough flavor and substance to stand on its own as a main dish. Personally, I love to eat the beans & rice with tortilla chips! Another great thing about this recipe is…

French Onion Soup
When I first set out to make French Onion Soup, I didn’t know where to start. And my husband has never been a fan, so I haven’t made it much. I looked at just about every resource I could find on the internet (recipe collection sites, food blogs, etc.) and several cookbooks in…
Feta-Topped Chicken
We tried this dish in early January, completely outside of tomato season. My family was quite approving of this quick chicken dish. I can only imagine just how much better it will taste in the summer, cooked on a grill! Oh, summer… Seems like it’s just so far away. Regardless, this is a…
Black Bean Tacos
Looking for a quick, weeknight dinner that you can have on the table in less than 15 minutes? If you want to avoid heating up something from the frozen foods section of the grocery store, making a trip through a drive-through, or ordering take-out, Black Bean Tacos are here to save you! They…
Broccoli & Cheddar Cheese Soup
Broccoli & Cheddar Cheese Soup should be in your soup rotation. Even my 2 1/2 year old (who doesn’t like many vegetables) will finish a bowl. It makes an excellent accompaniment to a hot sandwich, but is hearty enough to stand on its own as a main dish itself. Serve with some Garlic…
Thanksgiving Turkey
I sent a tweet the other day, announcing my latest debacle. My camera card has gone missing! And I am smacking myself in the forehead for not saving my step-by-step “how to brine a turkey” pictures on my computer soon after taking them. So, my dear friends, I am going to post a…
Chicken Tortilla Soup
I’m so excited that the weather is finally starting to cool down. I don’t know about the weather where you are, but here in Kansas things have been, well, HOT. And then hot a few days more. Many cities approached or broke records for the number of 100-degree days. I think it’s a…
Restaurant-Style Salsa
Another dip, you say? Absolutely! If you’re serving up some yummy guacamole, the perfect accompanying dip is homemade salsa! This is so simple to throw together, and can be adapted to your tastes. We love cilantro, so there’s a big handful in ours. Like it hot? Toss in another jalapeno. Have fun experimenting…
Chele’s Guacamole
My sister, Rachele, spent two years in the Dominican Republic with the Peace Corp. She did lots of amazing things while she was there, and learned a few things too. Our favorite thing that she learned? How to make amazing guacamole!
