Recipe: Stuffed Chicken Breasts
I made really tasty stuffed chicken breasts the other night. (I keep meaning to photograph these yummy dishes so that I can post them, but I keep forgetting. Sorry 'bout that!) Anyway, back to the chicken...I've made stuffed breast two different ways now. The first way involved taking a boneless skinless breast and pounding it out, then rolling it...
Recipe: Best Mashed Potatoes
I have a new recipe for y'all, it's for the best mashed potatoes ever. Okay, so, you know how you usually make mashed potatoes (however you do it)...now just add two sticks of butter. Stir in until melted and serve. Mmm. Done. Seriously, it's that easy and that bad for you, but tastes sooo good....
Recipe: Beets
A few weeks back, I got a handful of beets in the veggie box and I was kind of stumped as to how to cook them. The only kind of beets that I'd eaten before were the sliced pickled kind you find in salad bars (and even then, I never really ate them).

People, mystery meat in all its forms is unacceptable. It was not okay back in the grade school cafeteria and it's not okay now. No matter how you try to dress it up -...
I love artichokes!
I will admit, I was a very picky eater as a child. Fortunately, as I've grown up, I've discovered that several of the things that I very adamantly turned my nose up at as a child are really some of my favorite foods now. (For example: avocados, cream cheese, and artichokes - I know, I know, I was crazy.) Anyway, perhaps to make up for lost time, I...
