Yummy Beef and Broccoli!

Hello blog friends.  I hope you all had a nice weekend and are having a good week so far.

I'm so happy and honored when my INSTAGRAM friends make some of the crochet projects and recipes that I share there, on Instagram, and here on the blog.


I was so happy when Angela @shropshirecrafter on Instagram made a crocheted leaf that I shared with everyone in a post I did HERE.  Her crocheted leaf is on the left, and look how pretty and amazing it turned out.  I love the yarn color you chose for the leaf and thanks for making it.

I was also happy when Ping from @theloation_masalachic on Instagram made the pasta dish that I made HERE.  Ping made the pasta dish but substituted the kale for broccoli.  That pasta dish sure looks good!  Thanks again for taking the time to make one of my recipes that I shared on the blog.

Thanks ladies, I am so glad I was able to inspire you both with crocheting the leaf and cooking the pasta dish.

Let's keep inspiring each other with our projects and recipes!  Keep sending me photos of your recipes and projects you make and are sharing on Instagram, and I will mention you here on the blog.

Hello friends.  I've been on a kale kick lately, and I have been using this vegetable in many of the different dishes I make.

Today I'm sharing with you this easy to make kale and pasta recipe.

I enjoy cooking pasta when I run out of ideas for what to make for dinner.  I usually have the pasta and kale on hand, and you can find me making this dish about once a week.

I hope you enjoy this healthy pasta dish as much as my family does!!  :)

Hello everyone.  Sorry, but I didn't have a chance to share this recipe with you until now.  I hosted Thanksgiving at my house and to make things easy, I decided to make Crock Pot Mashed Potatoes.  Have you ever made them before?  Well these are so easy to make and in a few hours you can have them ready to eat.




You take the potatoes, and wash, peel, and cut them up into small pieces, and just add them to the crock pot.


Add chicken stock, butter, and chopped up garlic.


Set the crock pot on High for 3 to 4 hours and let them cook.  When finished I added some milk and just mashed them up with a potato masher.

This is what they looked like when they were done.


Thanks everyone and enjoy!

Recently while I was visiting with family, I made this apple pie and everyone loved it.  All you need is a box of pie crusts and apple pie filling to make this easy and delicious pie.

Psst... I did not share my secret with anyone either!  Lol!

Hi everyone.  Do you ever get tired of making the same old recipes for dinner?  Well in our family I like to make easy and healthy recipes that aren't too complicated to make.  I found this recipe to make Tuna Burgers on Pinterest.

I made these for dinner recently with a salad on the side and my family loved them and I'd love to share it with you.


The mixture makes about five or six patties depending on how big you make them.  Here you can see them in the frying pan.  We had the burgers with a salad on the side but you could also serve them on a bun with lettuce and tomato or any fixing that you like.

I love cooking vegetables as a side dish for our family for dinner.  Today I'd love to share with you this easy recipe for Roasted Cauliflower.

Need a new idea for breakfast or lunch?  Well I have the perfect recipe for you that is delicious, healthy, and easy to make.

I have this during the week for lunch and it's a great way to fill you up and you can add as many different vegetables as you like.

Hi friends, this is such a busy time of year and I thought that I would share with you a dinner that can be made in minutes!  Back in November of 2012 I shared with you this recipe and I'm sharing it with you again.  I hope you enjoy it as this is a family favorite.

2 Peppers, any color, cleaned and cut into long strips
1 Onion, peeled and cut into long strips
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Suggestion: Serve with Italian Bread
