Homemade macaroni and cheese is one of my favorite things, aside from mash taters. There's nothing wrong with the box version at all and in fact, it's much cheaper but when I'm in the mood for comfort food, I make mine homemade. What I love about homemade mac and cheese, is being able to throw in whatever cheese you want. I didn't go all … [Read more...]
Meat and taters....that seems to be the heart of our meals most days so making sure I can make them taste good all the time becomes a challenge.

Do you know what real creamed corn is? I'm sure you've eaten it from the can but making creamed corn from scratch, well, it's just better. I thought it was interesting to learn that the cream is actually inside the kernels so in order for you to get it out, you have to put a little work into creaming that corn. The only drawback to making it … [Read more...]
Just another side dish idea. We try to cook potatoes in a variety of ways and for everything but mashed, we use red potatoes. Basically you throw all this in a bowl, mix and bake. Pretty simple. I chose to use light dressing and no cheese since I'm trying to lose weight but normally we do add cheese. Another great variation of this if you don't … [Read more...]
