You can do so much with one big skillet! Any type of meat - chicken, beef, sausage or pork - works great in a skillet meal. Or go vegetarian! Anything goes in a skillet meal. Here are my Top ...

Beef on Garlic Cheddar Biscuits
Post originally posted September 24, 2009. Updated September 11, 2018 When I first invented this easy ground beef recipe back in 2009, my kids were 3 years old and they loved to help me cook dinner. They did not love to eat dinner, but they were cool with hanging out with mom while she slaved away over the stove. They were so adorable and we were so very broke. It was ...
Low Carb Bratwurst & Provolone Stuffed Zucchini Boats
As usual, I have planted too many squash and zucchini plants in our garden. I do this partly because the squash bugs are inevitable and will most certainly come swooping in to kill any plant in the squash family before the season is over,and partly because I really love squash. The summer glut of zucchini and crooknecks is as looked forward to in my house as fresh ...
Grilled Spinach & Mushroom Stuffed Pork Tenderloin
My husband of 14 years works weird hours. Sometimes he doesn’t leave for work until after lunch, other times he is gone before sunrise. His days off are rarely in a row and almost never on weekends and when he is home, we try to let the poor man sleep. This is no easy task in a house with two kids, a needy cat, a smelly dog, and a wife who likes to get up early and make her ...

Low Carb Zucchini Timbale
Everywhere I go, I end up talking to someone who is practicing a low carb or keto lifestyle. Maybe they just started or maybe they’ve been going for several months, but there is no denying that is has become the “it” weight loss plan of the year.

Grilled Lemon Garlic Butter Salmon Kebabs
Now that Spring has finally decided to show up, our grill is in full swing (and it goes great with dinner al fresco on the brand new deck!). Grilling season is something that we look forward to every year and since this season was a little late to start we are going gangbusters on it now. I’ll be honest, manning the grill isn’t my greatest skill. I can do it and I ...
Keto Low Carb Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
Ham can be an intimidating thing for some people. Not the cooking so much, cooking a ham is pretty straight forward. Even if all you do is take it out of the package and heat it up, it’s hard to mess up a ham. No, the intimidating thing is the sheer size of a ham and all of the leftovers that comes with it. The average person, with their one refrigerator takes a look at a 12 ...
Easy Salmon Pasta Primavera with a Keto Option
It seems that spring has arrived to our next of the woods, and although it’s a bit early, I’m not complaining. What I am complaining about is all the rain. Weeks and weeks of rain has turned my yard into a giant mud hole that desperately tries to suck the shoes off of your feet and threatens to send you flying through the air into a sloppy puddle. My house is covered in muddy ...
