Fried Shredded Chicken Tacos

Okay, I’ll be perfectly honest here. This is totally an adaptation of The Pioneer Woman’s totally deliciouso Chicken Taco recipe! I read it on her blog a few days ago but just couldn’t get past the idea of making tacos with chunks of chicken breast instead of shredded chicken. It just seems so un-Mexican-food-ish. So, [...]

Impressed.

I don’t often promote products on here. I also don’t often find myself this impressed by a product. However, when I found myself calling Daryl in from the yard to show him how I could magically remove the stains from anything from my stainless steel/copper pots and pans, I knew I couldn’t keep this to [...]

A bountiful harvest…

We’ve been eating our first veggies from our garden! There have been a few tomatoes, a few cucumbers, and these guys! Red ‘tators! Don’t you just love their color? And they didn’t taste half bad, either! One of ‘em did have this weird white pimple looking spot. Not sure what causes that, but I cut [...]

Beef Tips

Well, what an easy and delicious meal! I saw this recipe on CMT’s Country Fried Flicks with Hazel Smith (we were watching Backdraft – excellent movie) and just HAD to try it out. I hopped on over to CMT.com and there it was! The recipe calls for the tips to be served on white rice, [...]

Cran-Apple Chicken Salad

This Chicken Salad recipe is one of my favorites – it’s mostly healthy (especially if you use “lite” mayonnaise), very refreshing, and perfect for a hot summer day. It’s really good on some nice soft wheat bread, ciabatta bread, on a tortilla, lettuce leaf, or even just eaten by itself out of a bowl (my [...]

Bennigan’s Potato Soup

Bennigan’s restaurant was my favorite place to eat for a loooong time because of this Potato Soup recipe. It is to die for. Literally. Well, okay, maybe not literally. Anyway, if you’re a fan of potato soup and you’ve never tried this one, put it on the menu for this week. I was devastated when [...]
