Waffles

Who doesn’t love waffles? These are the best waffles, ever. And I mean EVER. They are so fluffy, so light, and incredibly easy to make. I make these quite often for Sunday brunch or when we have breakfast for dinner. Add these to your breakfast plate and thank me later. Ingredients 2 cups all-purpose flour […]

Bacon Ranch Cheese Ball

If you’re like me, sometimes it is hard to figure out what to take to parties. As part of several groups around the base we live on, I’m often challenged on what to take to events, as far as appetizers go. While I could come up with a million sweet dishes to carry, I feel […]

Skillet Lasagna

A quick and easy take on lasagna, but in a skillet! Skillet lasagna is kid-friendly and a simple weeknight dinner that anyone can make.

Sour Cream Pancakes

Bowtie Chicken Alfredo

I have never met a pasta I didn’t like. I might as well re-brand myself into “The Carb Queen.” Pasta dishes are one of the staple ingredients in the Brooks’ household. Aric could live without it, yet, me and the boys could eat it 24/7. In the 7 months since Aric has deployed, we have […]

Garlic Parmesan Rice

A classic rice dish that is perfect for any occasion, garlic parmesan rice is sure to be a hit at your house, just as it is at ours. My kids call this “cheesy rice,” which is certainly is. Cheesy. Creamy. Garlicky. Perfect. Unless you are dieting, in which case, I’m sorry. Ingredients 3 tablespoons butter […]
