Chopped beef and gravy

2018-11-16T10:00:27-06:00

Chopped beef and gravy has been a Pannucci family staple since I can remember. The name is a little misleading, as the "chopped beef" in this recipe is only one part of the final dish. In our house, this meal is really a combination of my "secret ingredient" mashed potatoes, the "chopped beef" and [...]

Mom’s Chicken Noodle Soup

2018-11-05T11:28:05-06:00

This isn't just one of my favorite soups, it's one of my favorite smells. The onions, celery and carrots when they go into the pot, combined with the chicken broth and herbs fills the house with a scent unlike any other. As an added bonus, it's a great meal that makes an easy "send with [...]

Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

2018-02-27T10:17:02-06:00

These cookies are magical — there really is no other way to describe them. They are great anytime, but you MUST eat one that is still warm and about 10 minutes out of the oven. I used to make a single batch, which yields 3 dozen, but half of them are often gone before [...]

Cheeseburger soup, yes really!

2018-03-06T07:53:16-06:00

This is definitely a cool weather food and my family usually requests it as soon as the weather changes. And they keep asking for it all winter. Not a fan of processed food, but Velveeta is the key ingredient in this one and the soup would not be the same without it. Add a [...]

Robbie’s Mac and Cheese

2019-10-01T15:51:04-05:00

Mac and cheese is heaven in a bowl to me, except when it comes out of a box and involves powder. I have been in search of the combination that makes you close your eyes and sigh when you take a bite. Last winter I finally found the cheese that would change everything — Prairie Breeze aged [...]

Beef enchiladas

2018-02-25T21:30:45-06:00

Slow cooked beef, cheese, tomato sauce, cilantro, corn tortillas all adds up to warm gooey goodness. If there are any enchiladas leftover, they make a great lunch the next day. The last time I made these I went a bit crazy buying the meat and ended up with a few extra cups of the [...]

Sunday gravy (macaroni and meatballs)

2018-02-26T20:37:20-06:00

Macaroni and meatballs (or Sunday gravy) has always been an important meal to me. Growing up, this was a familiar dinner shared with friends or family on Sunday. When I sat down to write this out I realized my recipe is quite different from my Aunt Gerri's, which is in our family cookbook and [...]
