I threw together these beans in about 5 minutes in the Crock Pot and ran out the door for the day.  Oh, my!  They were delicious.  Just saying!  They were good enough for a meal.

I have been wanting to make my mother’s Stroganoff lately. My mom was an awesome cook and this was in the rotation when I was a child. It is one that I learned to cook really early in my marriage. My Mom uses round steak.

Susan recently traveled to Italy to see her son and daughter-in-law.  She actually got to visit Parma, Italy and SEE Parmesan Reggiano Cheese being made!  She said unless it is made there it cannot be called Parmesan Reggiano, interesting!

Since my weight loss all of my cooking (and eating) is low to no carbs.  So, I added up all of the carbs in all of the ingredients and divided by the servings we got out of it and I got 8 carbs per serving.

I have a favorite pecan pie.  I think I posted it before but this one was officially a Southern Chocolate Pecan Pie….though there wasn’t much difference, except the addition of Chocolate Chips.  So, I thought I would share the new version.

For a hearty soup, combine vegetables with a little ground beef and pasta sauce. The nice thing about this recipe is that you can easily make substitutions.

So, this low carb soup in under an hour was born out of necessity!  I was running late so I didn’t get any pics of the prep work, just the soup as it was cooking.

Here’s my recipe for a quick soup that is low carb, too!

My kids – the boys really, were bottomless pits EXCEPT when I made Shepherd’s Pie!  The potatoes are what I think filled them up!  But, with the veggies added to it, it is a healthy 1 pot meal!

 I needed something hearty and hot tonight but, I also needed it to be low in Weight Watcher points.   This weekend, we had steaks for birthday celebrations and so, I had big, thick hunks of beef leftover.  Yum! 

I promise that this Nine Pepper Soup is not as hot as it sounds.  I didn’t intend to put so many peppers in it, really, it just sort of happened.  My goal was a good vegetable and chicken soup, so, I opened the refrigerator and started pulling stuff out, chopping stuff up, and, I was not disappointed.  I threw a little cheese and some tortilla strips on top and I had the best tasting tortilla soup.  

So, today I decided I wanted soup!  Just a nice simple hearty veggie Crock Pot soup!

Easy slow cooker recipes are my jam. When I know I have a busy day ahead, throwing dinner into the crockpot and walking away to accomplish my activities is fantastic. I know dinner will be ready when I need to feed everyone – and this Slow Cooker Mongolian Chicken is definitely on that list of ideas.

Quick and easy, these Parsley Potatoes are a delicious alternative to baked potatoes.

Even though it is easy to whip up and awesome vegetable appetizer in the summertime, the slight extra work involved in the Fall (i.e., turning on the oven to roast autumn vegetables) is not unwelcome.

Have you and your family gone apple picking yet? If you have, I bet you have more apples than you know what to do with.

This Pumpkin Icebox Cake recipe tastes like pumpkin pie. The Pumpkin Icebox Cake gets better the longer it sets in your refrigerator, so it is a great recipe to make a day or two in advance of a big function.

Fall means pumpkin! This Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread recipe is easy to make and will have everything tasting like autumn! What better fall dessert than a hearty, sweet and delicious cake of the moment? And just for the record, this is just as good for breakfast as it is for dessert.

Let’s be honest – there is something about mac and cheese with french fried onions. The rich creaminess of the macaroni and cheese with the salty crunchiness of the fried onions. It’s a match made in heaven!
