This dish is the epitome of comfort food with the ease of preparation you won’t believe. I grew up loving this dinner and only recently asked my mom for the recipe. It was super fast and easy to throw together and all 7 20somethings who dined with us, loved it! I’m sure your family will too! […]
Breakfast Burritos
This is the perfect meal to throw together in 15 minutes–whether you need a hearty breakfast or a quick, delicious dinner. Eggs scrambled with peppers, onions and black beans and wrapped in a flour tortilla makes for a surprisingly tasty meal. Try it sometime!

Vegetable Pasta Sauce (Slow Cooker)
I have nothing against canned pasta sauce. In fact, the Meijer brand is really quite delicious. I am known for frequently jazzing up the jarred variety with various vegetables or sauteed garlic or sausage, but sometimes I have a craving for an true homemade variety. (True as it can be when you’re using canned tomatoes […]
5 Can Chili
This may be the best soup recipe ever for busy families. From the time you open the first can to the time you ladle out a serving is about 15 minutes. Not. even. kidding. I let mine simmer for a good hour, but that only enhances flavor and/or gives you a huge cushion until dinner […]
Sweet Heat Chili (Slow Cooker)
When I came across this recipe on Mel’s Kitchen Cafe, I immediately wanted to try it. Normally, when it comes to chili, I totally wing it and end up with a new recipe each time. I LOVE it. But there was something special, something unique about this recipe, so I did my best to follow […]
Beef Stir Fry
Stir fry (done right) is one of the healthiest, easiest meals anyone could make. There are no “rules” just a general destination in mind. You can use whatever ingredients you have on hand–broccoli, mushrooms, snow peas, carrots, bell peppers, garlic, onions, meat or no meat at all. The options are endless! From the moment I […]
Garlic Hummus
Snacks can’t get any better than hummus and freshly sliced vegetables. Hummus is a beautiful Middle-eastern creation that combines chick peas with garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and tahini (sesame seeds paste). It is chock full of fiber and protein–keeping you full and satisfied for a long time without leaving you any guilt whatsoever. I can whip […]
Slow Cooked Vegetable Pork Roast
This is one of the easiest meals to put together and by the end of its cooking time it’s completely irresistible. I’m not a huge meat eater, but I was in love with this. Kevin went back for seconds and thirds–which only happens if he’s totally crazy about the meal. Slow Cooker Vegetable Pork Roast serves 4 […]
Italian Style Hearty Vegetable Stoup
Yes, “stoup.” Yes, I stole that from Rachael Ray. But it’s totally applicable here–this is somewhere between stew and soup. Stoup. Ok, now that we’ve got that cleared up, on to the recipe. This deliciously filling meal was created out of my need to use up an eggplant, my longing for a bowl of warm […]
Melanie’s Eggplant Lasagna
I had eggplant and Italian cheeses in the fridge. I wanted to try my hand at eggplant lasagna once again. I had made Rachael Ray’s version twice–the first with great success, the second with complete failure. It was awful. We literally scraped the cheese and sauce off of the eggplant and ate that for dinner. […]
