Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken

Yesterday seemed like a great day to try something new in my crockpot. I scoured Pinterest for some inspiration and found this yummy recipe. It was SUPER EASY to make and one I will definitely add to my rotation! I made two changes to the original recipe; I substituted low-sodium soy sauce and used apple…

Tracy’s Red Wine Chili

A bowl of spicy yum! This week’s cooler weather has left me yearning for all things warm!! I’ve always wanted to make a batch of my friend Tracy’s red wine chili and today seemed like the perfect day to give it a go. Boy am I glad I did…it’s amazing!!! The ingredients are simple and…

Chicken Parmigiana

Last weekend was a typical PNW fall day; cool and damp. I wanted to make something for dinner that was warm and had a bit of a wild hair to try something new. I took an inventory of my pantry, freezer and fridge. I found some chicken breasts in the freezer and remembered seeing a…

Korean Beef

As fall has hit the PNW I’m craving simple but warm meals. I had saved this recipe on Pinterest a while back but had yet to try it. So glad I remembered it because it’s a winner winner but not a chicken dinner! The recipe says to cook the chuck roast cubes for 3-4 hours…

Chicken Noodle Soup

Nothing says comfort food like a bowl of hot homemade Chicken Noodle Soup! I’ve been battling an epic round of flu this week and after not eating much for several days I rounded up the energy to hit up the grocery store to buy ingredients for this yummy version of a classic soup. I like…

Pork Chops and Apples

One of my favorite combinations is pork chops and applesauce. For those of you who are old enough to remember, it also is fun to say that “pork chops and applesauce,” like Peter Brady did ;). Kathryn Brunner pinned this recipe on Pinterest last week and it just sounded so perfect; I had to try…

Guinness French Dip Sandwiches

How can you go wrong with these ingredients? I love trying new recipes…I saw this Baked by Rachel recipe yesterday and just knew I had to give it a try. I love a good French Dip and the addition of Guinness to this recipe intrigued me. I followed the recipe to a tea and I…

New England Clam Chowder

I’ve tried a bunch of chowder recipes and haven’t found one I liked…until now! Found this via Baked by Rachel. I’ve had great luck with almost anything I’ve tried from her blog…so I shouldn’t be surprised that I liked this one so much. The only additional ingredient I added was a chopped carrot to the…

Beef Stroganoff Soup

Made this yummy soup last night. If you like beef stroganoff…you’ll love this!! I substituted baby bellas because my local grocery didn’t have a great selection of fresh mushrooms. I love baby bellas and I probably will use them in the future as well :). I also substitute onion powder (1T for the onion). I’ll…
