Some of my favorite recipes include appetizers and snack foods. I love a good dip or finger food. In attempts to class up my football snack spread, I thought of this ridiculously easy baked brie recipe I enjoyed  years back. It’s a sweet appetizer but not quite dessert. This beautiful dish is buttery, slightly salty, and […]

Super Bowl spreads are often full of fried foods; why not switch it up with these baked potato skins that you would swear were fried. Another plus to this recipe is the cost; If you are on the hunt for cost effective appetizers, this is the recipe for you!

I must admit, rarely do I make a pot of chili the exact same way twice. It’s something that I season depending on my mood and I think it’s always better the second day. Well this is the exception. If you are looking for a great chili recipe for a chilly day or something to […]

It’s finally getting cool enough for one of my favorites: Baked Potato Soup! If you are a proficient potato peeler, this is a 30 minute meal. I do have a crockpot adaptation that I will share soon but until then, enjoy this quick take on a classic. Print30 Minute Baked Potato SoupCook 30 minsTotal 30 […]

I am always looking for ways to adapt some of my favorite recipes and make them a little healthier;  soften the caloric blow if you will. There is always a place for the classic but there is nothing like a satisfying substitute! I feel I have found one in this easy recipe comprised of a […]

This baked ziti has become a go to meal for my family! It’s great for busy weeks, new moms, and for prepping ahead of time. It is also ideal for a dinner party as you can use the time in the oven to clean everything up. All you need is a big salad and some […]

Back when we lived in this fun condo in downtown KC, we would frequent this restaurant called The Peanut. It was a small spot with delicious whole wings, a decent queso, and the best grilled chicken sandwich I have ever had. The sandwich was simple, yet everything you could have ever asked for.

I haven’t always been a fan of pumpkin flavored things but this fall, all of that is changing! Lately, I have been screaming, “give me ALL the pumpkin!”

This recipe is pretty much fail proof. It’s also adaptable and delicious warm or cold. That’s why I’m dubbing this one a “Game Day Quiche”. Now my husband would never really consider a quiche a football food but stick with me— it’s stuffed with meat, tender and sweet onions, and plenty of cheese.

Now that season is back in full swing and the guys are traveling almost every week, I enjoy most of my meals alone. (My daughter is in a picky stage right now; more on that later) This cajun chicken pasta is a great meal to prepare for one. It can all be done in a […]

I’m glad football season is back for a ton of reasons, but one of the Top 3 is that I now have someone to give these baked goods to! My baking slows down severely in the offseason because I can’t afford to have piles of cookies, bars, and cakes all over my kitchen. There are […]

My slow cooker beef barbacoa recipe is something I am very proud to share. I have made this recipe 10+ times (each slightly different) before settling on the perfect method. It works in the oven but if you are busy and looking to let it cook all day, your slow cooker is perfect. In my […]
