Chorizo and Egg Breakfast Melt

September 20, 2016

I am like Leslie Knope when it comes to breakfast. Certain days, especially if there was drinking the night before, I can be a total Ron Swanson. “Give me all the eggs and bacon.” Why would anybody eat anything besides breakfast food? So many choices.

Mike used to work for a church band. Naturally that day of work would fall on a Sunday. When he coached football and baseball and was still doing church band, last year he was seriously working every single day of the week. I know they say distance makes the heart grow fonder, but come on already! As much as Mike loved the community and playing music with the band, he does have to admit it is nice to be home on Sundays.

Big Ass Burrata Stuffed Meatballs

August 30, 2016

Is this title appropriate? Mom, I know you are already saying, “No.” If I offend, I apologize. I just couldn’t think of more appropriate descriptive terminology for these meatballs. Speaking of big ass, I started running. Some of you that know me, probably just dropped dead. Somebody do CPR on my close friends, because I speak the truth.

And like a phoenix from the flames, she rises! Well, that was a bit of a dramatic entry, but, hey, I do like the drama. I am back! I have three words for you; hand, foot, mouth. Disease. Well, that’s really four, but the first three are the dramatic ones. Don’t Google it! You already did, didn’t you? Well little Jacky B got it first. He didn’t get it as bad as you may think, from your Google images. My first key that he was sick was he just stopped eating solid food. The kid turned down puffs! I knew something was wrong.

I hope everybody is enjoying this long weekend. And by everybody, I mean all you ‘Mericans. I wasn’t even planning on posting a recipe today. However, I kind of invited my family over for an impromptu BBQ later today. And while running around, scrounging through my pantry and freezer for items to make for dinner, I thought of this super easy, last minute appetizer idea. [Read more…]

Stovetop Chipotle Mac and Cheese

May 26, 2016

Well, we are officially home owners. Signed all the papers on Monday. Have I packed a thing yet? Nope! We aren’t moving until the first weekend in June, so I guess I have time. Time. Time to sit here and think of all the things that we need for the house. Time to sit and think about all the money we don’t have to pay for said items in new house. Cue the freak out. Is home ownership really all it is cracked up to be? [Read more…]
