Happy International German Beer Day! German beer flows freely like water in this country and is also cheaper than water! Many foods use beer in their recipes, as well. I am going to try and integrate more local German foods in case you guys want to try some foods that we might be eating here! […]

Garlic Butter Breadsticks

I’m in love with Italian food, I mean, I’m a certified #carbqueen after all. There are so many people that love Olive Garden, and while I’m not a fan of much, the salad and breadsticks are my jam. However, being like 5000 miles from the nearest all-you-can eat breadsticks, why not just make your own? […]

Mexican Rice

This Mexican rice is a perfect side dish for any Mexican dish. Whether you are making enchiladas, tacos, tostadas, or fajitas, this rice dish will round out of your meal! I love TONS of black pepper in this rice, but it can get a little spicy for the kiddos, so adjust your seasons based on […]

Enchilada Sauce

Though you can easily buy a can of enchilada sauce, why not try your hand at making your own? This sauce is DELICIOUS! Use to make some homemade enchiladas, juevos rancheros, or my recipe for Copycat Taco Bell Mexican Pizza. The sauce will keep in the fridge for up to a week and can also be […]

Easy Herb Mayo

This zesty spread will transform any regular mayonnaise into something spectacular. Add to a BLT, a Club, or a plain ole sandwich, and your sandwich will be taken to the next level. It is also pretty darn good thrown in some shredded chicken to make a chicken salad. Ingredients 1 cup mayonnaise 1 small garlic […]

Slow Cooker Apple Butter

When I was a kid, I used to think that apple butter was one of those things that old people would put on their biscuits or toast, kind of like molasses. However, it is in fact one of the best things you can slather on a piece of bread anytime, but it is so much […]

My New Favorite Biscuits

There are several biscuit recipes that I love to make any and every chance that I can; however, this recipe that I have tinkered with has got to be my new favorite recipe for biscuits. I made these recently for a Sunday morning breakfast and then for dessert after dinner that evening, we used them […]

Rosemary Garlic Bread

As we have established several, several times, I love to bake. I usually stick to sweets, but over the last year, I have been trying my hand at making more pastries that are more on the savory side. Since having an over-abundance of herbs, including rosemary, I decided to make some yummy bread with it. […]

Pepperoni Pizza Pasta Salad

Making things to take to parties is kind of difficult when your mind immediately gravitates toward sweets. Every third Friday of the month, I attend a Bunco night with fellow Army spouses. It starts at 6 o’clock, which of course is dinnertime. So, I feel like it is appreciated when people bring/make savory and hearty […]

Coleslaw

Coleslaw is one of those side dishes that vary by the region of the country you are in. Some parts of the US serve coleslaw with a vinegar base, while other parts serve it with a mayonnaise base. Well down in ole West Texas, we like our coleslaw with mayo. And so does Chick-Fil-A. Or […]
