When we order Chipotle, my daughter gets a bowl of just rice and meat. But Chioptle still charges the same as if it has every ingredient in the bowl. Not worth it! I figured I could do better for cheaper and sneak a veggie in there as a bonus. This recipe is the result [...]
My husband sent this recipe to me because he thought it looked interesting and I agreed with him. As usual, I saw plenty of things in the list of ingredients to tinker with. First off, the jalepenos and avocado were out; neither would go over very well with this family. To make up for [...]
Looking for something that would be easy to make on a weeknight and provide some leftovers this is a good option. For my cheese adverse daughter I omitted the ricotta filling and just used sausage for a few of the rolls. Prep time – 20 minutes / Cook time – 50 minutes [...]
This is my mom's FAMOUS potato salad recipe. And I say famous because everyone else's mom made potato salad with egg or pickles or Miracle Whip. Nothing tasted as good as my mom's and she would often be asked to bring it to a BBQ or special event. She used to buy this salad [...]
The name of this recipe comes from a restaurant in Alexandria Virginia where my husband and I ate pulled pork served this way. At the time, this combination of ingredients sounded pretty unusual to me. But it was delicious, and has become our favorite way of serving pulled pork. This is my attempt at [...]

When summer comes, and it's time to cook out, my husband prefers macaroni salad to potato salad. Up until the day he asked for it I had never actually made macaroni salad of any kind. So it was really good luck when one of my favorite cooking magazines had a recipe for something called [...]
My husband loves this recipe so much that when I just say the words "ropa vieja", he starts salivating. For me it's not even that difficult a recipe to make, since it cooks all day in a slow cooker and just needs a few steps before it's ready for dinner. I changed a few [...]
I wish there was a good story behind this meatloaf but really it's just the version I've settled on over the years. My recipe has one important change from others I've tried, and it's a small but important one- I saute my onions in butter to mellow the flavor. The result is something that [...]
The smell of pan fried chicken coated in bread crumbs and parmesan cheese along with a pot of simmering sauce is delicious. Add a side of spaghetti (or bucatini) and some green beans — you're done. Prep time - 10 minutes / Cook time - 35 minutes 6 [...]
