I love macaroni and cheese. It is hearty. It is comforting. It is down right delicious! I would probably eat mac and cheese every week if it was...well, a bit healthier! My cravings for comfort foods, like mac and cheese, are always in full swing around this time of year, and lucky for me (and you!) squash [...]

I don't know about you, but I am a big fan of Mexican food. Now let's be honest, it is never quite as good as it is at a restaurant, but homemade Mexican food is still pretty darn good! Tonight I more than satisfied my craving for Mexican food with this family-approved meal. Mini Mexican [...]
Yes, you read that right...Hearty Chili Soup Pizza! A couple of weeks ago I was thinking about potential pizza toppings and decided it would be fun, interesting, and (hopefully) delicious to combine two of my favorite comfort foods: chili and pizza! Hearty Chili Soup Pizza Servings: 6 slices [...]
Tonight I cooked for three people: me, myself, and I :) . I love cooking for other people, especially my boyfriend and my family, but sometimes it is nice to prepare a meal just for myself. It allows me to make adventurous food choices and try new recipes that my family members may not be [...]
I have returned! After 3 1/2 fabulous days in warm, sunny Arizona, I made it back to cold, rainy, and dreary Iowa late last night. I feel like I have been playing catch-up on errands, work, cleaning, and homework all day, so I planned an easy-prep dinner to cook tonight. Enter: [...]

I am a big pasta lover, but I try to only eat it on occasion in an attempt to avoid a carb-overload (don't get me wrong, despite the beliefs of many, carbs ARE good!).

Last night I was looking for a quick, simple meal to make that would be pleasing to everyone's pallets. The solution: homemade taco salads. This is a great meal to eat and it contributes nicely towards your daily protein and veggie needs. Plus, it is delicious! Servings: 4-6 Ingredients homemade corn tortilla [...]
Last night I ate one of the latest dinners ever. My boyfriend and I both got off of work at 6 and afterwards we went to visit the puppies that his dog created...so adorable! By the time we got home, I fixed dinner, and we sat down to eat, it was 9:45! As you would [...]
