With no-boil lasagna sheets! They’re no-boil. The sheets. I know everyone has a fave recipe for a killer lasagna. I ain’t trying to reinvent the casser-wheel. But! It’s winter and freezing and icy and slick and bitter and snowy and polar-y and your soul need layers and layers of cheese and carbs. True fact. So […]

Shepherd’s Pie Waffle Fry Stackers
YES I’M THAT PERSON WHO PUT SHEPHERD’S PIE ON WAFFLE FRIES. (sorry to scream.) I think the question is, why wouldn’t we? Plus it’s been forever since I’ve had a good ol’ waffle cut fry, so the idea of a crunchy, baked carby canoe o’ bliss shoveling all that beefy shepherd’s pie filling straight into […]
Skillet Beef and Biscuit Pot Pie
This is winter in your mouth. Minus the snow. YOU GUYS. I keep checking our long range forecast, and there’s zero snow. Zilch. There WAS snow in it, but it vanished after being in the forecast for 12 minutes and I now want to cry. This is crap, MIDWEST. I demand snow. Anyway. Biscuits. You […]
Asian Beef and Cabbage
This is one of those “let-the-farmer’s-market-guide-me” meals. Are you annoyed? BECAUSE holy hail. It is crazy. Simple and crazy. Not crazy like, “She’s got a knife in her purse!” or, “Is she really listening to Michael Bolton right now?” But crazy. So crazy that we’ve made it twice and I still want to punch it […]
Mexican Fiesta Bowls
It’s not what you think. This isn’t a taco salad bowl. Or a burrito bowl. Not really even a Straw Hats bowl. (even though it has fritos in it so don’t get all loco on me.) It’s a MEXICAN FIESTA BOWL – a) because that’s what my mom calls it, and b) apparently I used […]
Hobo Roasts (Rewind Recipe)
It’s my first Rewind Recipe since FOR-EV-ERRRR! (<–name that movie.) PLEASE tell me you guys made Hobo Roasts growing up in the ’80s and ’90s. You didn’t fully experience the magic of that era unless you made these on the regs. While wearing jams and watching Fresh Prince of Bel Air, duh. We had them […]
Asian Steak Lettuce Wraps
There’s rice in it, too, so please don’t x out. Lettuce wraps! It’s been a while since I’ve made slash posted lettuce wraps. I always forget about these delightful canoes o’ savory bliss. I know it’s an odd time of year to be posting lettuce wraps, with all the soups and creamy pastas and casseroles […]
Slow Cooker French Onion Pot Roast over Creamy Polenta
Hellooooo, slowcookerfrenchoinionpotroastovercreamypolenta lovah. Um, this meal is going to be your winter mouth canoe grub game changer. And I mean it. First of all, it’s slow cooker. Commence simultaneous clapping and sobbing. Second of all, it’s a giant slab of meato. Isn’t that neato? (sorry) Third of all, the words “French” and “onion” are involved, […]
Slow Cooker Roast Beef Melts
Because melted cheese on shredded beef. The end. (Minus Aaron’s sad, soulless cheese-less versions. We’re learning to forgive him, right? Eh, we’ll try later.) I think a proper year needs a proper slow-cooker start, don’t ya think?! (<–name that movie, but with different words. like kite and tail.) A start that involves a massive hunk of […]
Classic Beef and Bean Chili with J.R. Watkins
*This post is definitely in partnership with J.R. Watkins, but all honesty and total ramblings are my own. We coo?* YES. J.R. Watkins. As in, the hand soaps. (I’m not cooking with hand soap, by the way. Ha! Wait, am I?) Did you know that J.R. Watkins has a whole new line of gourmet seasonings […]
