Turkey Chili
My favorite chili recipe by far is my short rib chili, but we like all kinds of chili and we are trying to reduce our red meat a bit more lately for a few reasons, so I made this healthy turkey chili instead. What I like about this recipe is that it has lot ofContinue reading “Turkey Chili”
Chicken Fried Steak
Chicken fried steak is one of my husband’s favorite meals, but since it isn’t the healthiest, I try to save it for special occasions. We like it best served with mashed potatoes and southern cream gravy over the top. There are few key things to making good chicken fried steak. One is to use goodContinue reading “Chicken Fried Steak”
Million Dollar Spaghetti
I saw this recipe online, and I was going to be making food for someone who loves pasta, so I thought I’d give it a try. It is basically super dressed up spaghetti baked like a lasagna.

I have a few different enchilada recipes I make repeatedly, but I wanted to try this one that adds dried ancho chilies to the sauce, instead of just chili powder. I love using dried Mexican chilies as they add so much flavor to sauces and dishes. They are so easy to get on amazon too,Continue reading “Ancho Chile Beef Enchiladas”
Thai Red Curry Noodle Soup
I love pretty much any and all curry from any country. They are all so different and so flavorful. This is a variation on Thai red curry that is served as a soup with noodles instead of over rice. Thai curry with coconut milk can be very rich, but this recipe has a good balanceContinue reading “Thai Red Curry Noodle Soup”
Cheesy Beef and Shells
This creamy, cheesy beef and shells dish comes together in 30 minutes and has flavors everyone will love. There are few special touches to the sauce that make it super delicious.
