We love good homemade ice cream, and when we were given an electric automatic ice cream maker as a wedding present we were thrilled. This is so much easier than rock salt and all that other fuss. You simply freeze the insert overnight, then it’s ready to go. This recipe is also super easy and inexpensive. Even Melody loved it, and she is picky about homemade desserts!
One of the side dishes that I LOVE at Baumhower's Wings is their grilled potatoes. They are great with butter and sour cream, but amazing with ranch. So we decided to recreate them at home. And honestly, it is now my absolute favorite way to cook potatoes!
I love wings, but I am very particular about them. My absolute favorite are from Baumhower’s Wings. And while we have one here in Huntsville, it isn’t the most convenient to where we live. So for a football game recently I decided to make my own. There are actually two recipes below. I like my wings with a dry rub on them. Brad prefers his wings with a wet sauce on them. So I included both versions. I will say, the dry version needs some adjustment to the baking powder. While they tasted amazing, the baking powder was a bit overwhelming. And next time I hope to find the wings separated. Publix on had them as a whole wing :(
We love making Smores, but making them outside isn’t really the best option. So we make them in the microwave. It’s super easy, not messy, and doesn’t require any fire, ha. The fire is Melody’s favorite part, but we just save that for camping!
I kind of made this recipe up after seeing some instagrammers make something similar. Mine didn’t turn out perfect, but you can really make this more about what you like. You can add more of less of anything. The big thing I would do differently is use less turkey sausage. But otherwise it was really good.
So a while back we grilled kabobs. We don’t do them super often because I am not a huge fan of the vegetables, but I do let Brad do them on occasion and I make another vegetable for myself. Plus they make great lunches for Brad too.
So for July 4th, we bought corn to grill along with our smoked ribs and potato. Well we were out of aluminum foil, and I didn’t realize this until right before needing to cook it. So I attempted a new method…grilling the corn in the husks.
So I make these pizzas on just about anything when I have all the ingredients (today is English Muffins). And let’s be real, I almost ALWAYS have the ingredients on hand considering they are frequent BOGOs at Publix, ha!
So this was a very thrown together dinner I made a while back. I had planned to use cornmeal or breadcrumbs but we were out. So flour it was.
So lately I have been trying to make cheap and easy lunches. So these are by far not the healthiest, ha. However they are probably better than some of the frozen meals you can buy. All three ingredients are often BOGOs at Publix which make it a really great deal.
This is one of those recipes that looked great on Pinterest, but while making it, I was kind of grossed out. However, in the end, it both tasted and looked delicious! I also adjusted the recipe to our liking, so below is my version.
Tuna salad can be so hit or miss with me. I went through phases of eating it a lot backed when I worked in an office, to now rarely eating it because I am so much pickier about how it is fixed. Back during my office days, I would eat it straight out of a packet on a bed of lettuce. Not now. Now I want to use the food processor and make it more of a dip. But most days I am too lazy for this, and I have never found a recipe I loved. Well I finally made one I really liked. I don’t love it, and I would likely use less mayo next time, but it was worthy of sharing.
We really don't make fish often enough. I forget to buy it, and just don’t always think about it. And we do make it, I am always trying new recipes like this one! It was really good and gave it something extra by having the breading.
One evening a while back I invited my parents over for tacos. My mom had actually already started the process for this fajita casserole so she just brought it over, and I stole the recipe! It is super yummy and nice change to regular fajitas.
So I have made chocolate chip cookies before, but Melody won’t eat those. And I am really trying hard to find a recipe she will eat. But honestly, she wouldn’t even eat this one. I made these for her actual birthday. But all she wants is stinking Chips Ahoy! Oh well, these are really good but taste much better served warm.
I love a good one pan meal, but those are hard to come by for me. Either it is a casserole which I don’t always love, or it just simply doesn’t sound good. Well this one is super easy, and I love that it uses chicken breasts instead of a whole chicken!
So we had about half a bag of shrimp in our freezer that I decided we needed to cook. I wanted to bake it, and I found a super easy recipe online to do that. I used far too much sauce simply because I didn’t have enough shrimp, but it still tasted great and was easy to make.
I made these sugar cookies a while back to test out the recipe I found. They cookies themselves turned out delicious. The website also had a icing recipe that I wanted to try. My first attempt was a failure. It was far too runny. But with time I got better. I still have some trouble getting it just the right consistency, but the good thing is you can add a little more milk or powdered sugar to help. Also keep in mind the liquid that will be added from any food coloring you use.
Lately we have been making breakfast tacos at least once a week. They are super easy to make, we keep all the ingredients at home, and it doesn’t require any thawing, ha! I make them multiple ways depending on what ingredients we do have. But I do have a basic “recipe” I follow and add things in. Check it out below.
So I love bang bang shrimp, and I love cauliflower. And while I do not like cooked cauliflower, I found that roasting cauliflower isn’t so bad. So I found this recipe online and gave it a try. It is really good, and so good I may try it with chicken or shrimp in the future too!
