Delicious recipes using simple ingredients
I had some leftover crust from the banana cream pie (I will post the recipe for this later in the week) that I made for Thanksgiving so I decided to make two small pie shells and stick them in the fridge for later. I knew that I needed to make the twofer pie but when […]
I saw this recipe over at Closet Cooking and knew I had to make it. I had a few people over last weekend and knew this would be perfect to make for that. It was really simple to put together and everyone loved it! I served the dip with some bread that I grill and […]
Remember the guacamole I made the other day? Well I really had a craving for 7 layer dip so that’s what it was destined for. You can use whatever brands you like for this. You can make it slightly healthier if you use low-fat or non-fat items. You could use ground turkey instead of ground […]
I had the good intentions of making the rice pudding this week but it just wasn’t in the cards. I went to Tj’s and they were all out of the arborio rice that the recipe calls for. Then I went to another store and it was $9 for a small container!! I’m sorry but I […]

I was craving something sweet but not too sweet so I decided that orange yogurt cake sounded really good. I’ve made this before in loaf form but I decided that I wanted muffins this time. I love the citrus flavor that you get from all the zest. You can add whatever kind of zest you […]
I’ve never made pot roast before so I decided to cheat and buy one that was already seasoned. The man at the store that was giving samples away of this pot roast gave me a great tip. He said to cook the roast with some orange juice. I thought it sounded a little weird but […]
This is my second TWD post and when I first saw this recipe I was a little hesitant to make it. I’ve never really worked with yeast before and was afraid that it wouldn’t rise. So I was pretty sure that I was going to skip this week but then I was thinking that one […]
I didn’t know what I was going to do with the leftover ricotta that I had from my lasagna. But thankfully I found a recipe for lemon ricotta muffins at Food Gal that sounded really good. I just picked up a bag of lemons at TJ’s so this recipe was perfect to help use some […]
I love mashed potatoes! More specifically I love my mashed potatoes. I mean what’s not to love about potatoes with garlic and cheese?? I used the roasted garlic I made the other day but if you don’t have any you can just peel a couple of cloves and stick them in with the potatoes while […]
