Dinner Tonight: Brisket Tacos
Oh my heavens…these tacos are so good. Because of this blog, I really don’t repeat many meals in our house but this recipe…will be repeated often. Very often. Plus, this is a slow cooker dinner, so it was pretty much…
Dinner Tonight: Taco Chili
It’s not a chili…it’s not a taco soup…it’s a hybrid. In fact, that’s what my husband’s been calling it for years, “the hybrid”. It’s thick like a chili but with the flavors of a taco soup. My sweet friend…
Lasagna Cups

Dinner Tonight: Stew

This is my husband’s favorite meal. Period. Favorite. I started making this when we were dating (my mom has been making it for years and years) and he was in love. Hands down, if I ever ask him what he…

Dinner Tonight: Lazy Lasagna
Oh, how I love me some lazy lasagna. I first saw this method on Rachael Ray’s show and thought it was brilliant. I love lasagna but who the heck has time to make it during the week?! This allows you…
