Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken {Taco Slop}

March 28, 2012

My husband affectionately (?) named this dish “Taco Slop.” That’s kinda his thing. White chicken chili? Slop. 16 bean soup? Slop. Split pea soup? Green slop. Oatmeal? Slop. And this my friends, is taco slop. Perhaps it is his military background. Perhaps it is because he’s a dude. I know it sounds like he probably [...]

Honey-Chipotle Turkey Meatball Pita Sandwiches

March 14, 2012

I’m in the midst of switching Not Rachael Ray to Rachel Cooks! I am very excited and a little lot nervous about the switch. My brother-in-law is helping me make things look pretty and I’m trying to tackle all the technical stuff myself (and yes, I know I’m craaaa-zy). I already have a new Facebook [...]

Pasta with Chicken Sausage, Mushrooms, Mozzarella, Tomatoes, Spinach and Basil

October 19, 2011

I didn’t want to leave anything out in the title–I’m in love with all the ingredients in this dish. I quite often buy chicken sausage when I go to the store. It isn’t usually part of my “menu plan” for the week. I buy it for these days:

Emeril’s One Pot Cooking Party: Pasta e Fagiole

September 20, 2011

This is the fourth recipe of Emeril’s Cooking Party! Here are parts one, two and three if you missed them. I’m kind of sick of being in the kitchen after the birthday party extravaganza, so I was browsing Emeril’s book for something that looked relatively easy and also something that didn’t require going to the [...]

Chicken Enchiladas Verde

September 19, 2011

Somehow the busiest month of the year (in real life) also turned out to be the busiest blog month so far. Craziness. Good stuff though: TWO birthday parties for my daughter’s first birthday, football games, festivals, guest posts, Emeril blogging party, trips out of town, working, and more! Whew! Thank goodness busy is good for [...]

Turkey Sloppy Joes

August 1, 2011

I very often substitute ground turkey for ground beef. But don’t get me wrong, as I mentioned before, I have no beef with beef. Love a thick juicy steak! I just try to cut down on fat and calories whenever possible. I have a crazy dream of losing 20lbs. We’ll see about that. Hopefully it [...]

Sweet and Sour Chicken

June 17, 2011

I guess I’ve been on kind of an Asian kick around here. Asian food and rhubarb (I have another rhubarb recipe coming). I also have another stir-fry coming. Eventually. I found this in Rachael Ray’s magazine. So I guess today, I sort of am Rachael Ray? Hmm. Didn’t think about this when I came up [...]

This is my first post for The Secret Recipe Club. I’m so excited to join this fantastic group of food bloggers. Each month we are assigned another food blog. We scour their site choosing a recipe to recreate, putting our own spin on it if we would like. This month I was assigned to Jason’s [...]

Pasta with Bertolli Sauce and Roasted Red Peppers

June 2, 2011

As much as I love to cook, I also love a quick easy meal that I can throw together without too much effort. When it gets towards the end of the week, I usually have to start getting creative and using what I have in the freezer and in the pantry. I also like to [...]
