Cut-Corners Swedish Meatballs

While it may only be the second week of November, and while that may not usually be the traditional winter-weather season of East Tennessee, yesterday we had snowfall.  My sweet boys were absolutely enthralled by the snow. Here’s a sweet photo of Teddy (age 3) watching the snow come down through our back door ontoContinue reading “Cut-Corners Swedish Meatballs”

Mexican Lasagna

I made Mexican food for dinner on Tuesday – yes, Taco Tuesday – and I realized as I prepared a favorite easy dish that I may never have shared this one on the blog!  Some call it “taco bake” and others call it “Mexican lasagna.” At my house, we just call it “yummy.”  This isContinue reading “Mexican Lasagna”

Pizza Quesadillas

Dinner tonight sure was good! Pizza quesadillas are a new fave in the Miller house!  I figured I should give this recipe a spot on the blog so it’s permanently posted for anyone who wants to give it a shot.  Here’s what you’ll need:  I heated my electric griddle, but you could just as easilyContinue reading “Pizza Quesadillas”

4-Ingredient Pico de Gallo

I love, love, love Mexican food! I love spicy, cheesy, fresh foods – so I am almost always down for Mexican food at a restaurant or at home. My husband loves Mexican food too, but he’s not a huge fan of tomatoes or onions, so buying a tub of pico de gallo at the storeContinue reading “4-Ingredient Pico de Gallo”

Oregano-Buttered Eye of Round Steaks

I love a steak dinner. Ya girl isn’t one to go out to a nice meal and skip the steak to look like a lady with a salad. No, no, no. I like a nice steak. But let’s be real: I’m not buying filets for weekly dinners at home. I can’t afford that, and evenContinue reading “Oregano-Buttered Eye of Round Steaks”

Kickin’ Chicken & Veggie Pasta

I have been really wanting some pasta – but something different. Today, I decided to get a little creative with dinner. (Thank goodness it turned out okay because what else was I going to share on the blog today?!) I want to share a slightly spicy, veggie-heavy, light-sauced chicken and pasta recipe with you! You’llContinue reading “Kickin’ Chicken & Veggie Pasta”

Easy Loaded Mashed Potatoes

Y’all, easy recipes are my FAVORITE. Let’s make it taste homemade, but EASY. (Anybody remember the Staples “easy button?”) One dish that I can save some time on is mashed potatoes. Sure, you might be like “duh, instant,” but here’s the deal – I don’t like instant mashed potatoes. I like homemade, creamy, lumpy mashedContinue reading “Easy Loaded Mashed Potatoes”

Cheese & Barbecue Smothered Chicken

I’ve recently pulled one of my old recipes back out to the forefront of my kitchen. My cheese + barbecue smothered chicken was a dish I made often when I moved into my first apartment and then was married to my first husband. I hit a rut recently, making a lot of the same dishesContinue reading “Cheese & Barbecue Smothered Chicken”

Homemade Mac & Cheese

Jake and I both love macaroni and cheese. There’s something comfortable about cheesy, creamy pasta, and it fits in with my down-home style cooking really well. In the past, I’ve attempted homemade crockpot mac and cheese but it didn’t turn out the way I’d hoped. So when I had a hankering recently, I made myContinue reading “Homemade Mac & Cheese”
