Broccoli Bake

Posted on December 3, 2015 by Jamie H

Broccoli Bake is a great side dish! Delicious and creamy, cheesy broccoli. Several years ago my mother-in-law asked me to bring a broccoli casserole to a family gathering. I didn’t have any recipes for one, so I started looking and found a recipe that turned out delicious after the alterations I made for what I had on hand. This broccoli bake can be made with frozen broccoli, but I prefer fresh– you do whatever works best for you! If you prefer frozen broccoli, thaw it before following the instructions.

Dinner Rolls – November’s Goal

Posted on November 26, 2013 by Kerry

I have almost finished a whole year of recipe challenge goals. I feel like I’ve learned a lot through this. I will be continuing this recipe challenge next year. I already have goals through June planned out. This month I chose dinner rolls. I have been making bread for a while and feel like I’m getting better at it. I still have times where it just don’t work. So for making the dinner rolls, my apprehension wasn’t hoping they rise or if they’ll taste good. It was shaping the small ball of dough for the roll. I know there is

This recipe is apart of the Thanksgiving Dishes series. Be sure to check out all the recipes to fill your Thanksgiving Table. Quinoa is an interesting food. It’s pronounced keen-wah. It’s a grain and a protein. It can be served for a meatless meal. Although in this house, that doesn’t fly. So we just have two proteins. Quinoa is so versatile. It goes with so many flavors. In this Butternut Squash & Quinoa, the texture and flavor of the quinoa goes so well with the texture and flavor of the squash, cranberries, and pecans. I was introduced to quinoa a

Croissants

The Thanksgiving Dishes series continues today. Be sure to check out all the recipes to fill your Thanksgiving Table. I made croissants once before, last fall. Because there has been so much time in between then and this time making, I forgot how long these take. They aren’t difficult to make, there is just a lot of time involved with the rising, chilling, chilling, chilling, rising and baking. So when you start this have a whole day to do it. This is one of those foods that I see why you buy the ones in the can. But in my pursuit to

Cornbread Stuffing

Posted on November 13, 2013 by Kerry

The Thanksgiving Dishes series continues today. Be sure to check out all the recipes to fill your Thanksgiving Table. In my quest to eat no preservatives, I now must make my own stuffing. The Hardworking Husband loves the stuff from the box. But look at these ingredients. I was finally able to see that there is celery, onion, parsley, chicken and chicken stock in it. But the ingredient list on the box is much longer than my list. I really don’t want to be eating all the rest. So I set off to figure out how to make homemade stuffing that tastes

Orange Cranberry Sauce

The Thanksgiving Dishes series continues today. Be sure to check out all the recipes to fill your Thanksgiving Table. Yesterday was Veteran’s Day. The Hardworking Husband is a veteran, and Veteran’s Day is one of his favorite holidays. I’m not sure why exactly, but I’m sure getting to eat out for free is part of it. I like the holiday because I get to honor many of my friends without looking like a creep. I lived about 30 miles from a large military base for 7 years. I met and became friends with many soldiers and airmen. I greatly appreciate what they

The Sweetest Sweet Potatoes

The Thanksgiving Dishes series continues today with the Sweetest Sweet Potatoes. Be sure to check out all the recipes to fill your Thanksgiving Table. It wasn’t until a couple years ago that I discovered my love of sweet potatoes. I’m not sure why I hadn’t eaten them much before that. It isn’t like I had anything against them or disliked them, but they just weren’t something I ate much of. However, once I did discover them, I found that one of the most amazing dishes to make with sweet potatoes is this recipe for the sweetest sweet potatoes. Think sweet

Buttermilk Chess Pie

Posted on November 6, 2013 by Kerry

Our Thanksgiving Dishes Series continues today. If you’ve missed any be sure to check them out. When I lived at the ranch, we had a pie called buttermilk pie. It was one of my favorites. I failed to get that recipe before I left. It was one that didn’t get put in the ranch cookbook. So I searched high and low for a recipe like it and found nothing. Several years later I picked up a cookbook that went along with a book series I had read. Flipping through the cookbook, I found Buttermilk Chess Pie. It is the

Homemade Croutons

Posted on November 5, 2013 by Kerry

Around our house, homemade croutons are like warm buttery crunchy gold. When I make them the Hardworking Husband will say, “You love me today.” They are so good. But the problem with them is they are best on the day made. So I would have to make them every day. And really that shouldn’t be a problem except that I’m lazy. Homemade croutons are another recipe I got while working at the guest ranch in Colorado. We would make them at least once a week, and we made sure that we made more than enough because the ranch staff
