Mug Subs

I found this recipe on instagram one day. I am going to share what I used to make these “mug subs”, but you can really use just about anything you have on hand that you would normally use to make a warm sandwich with. They are super easy, and they have become a regular lunch item for us!

Meatloaf

I am not a huge meatloaf fan at all, but I wanted to make something different using beef for Easter dinner this year. So we decide to give meatloaf a try. The recipe I used was actually good, and it was very similar to meatballs which we like a lot. It is just fairly less time consuming!

Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

Early on during quarantine, not all groceries were easy to come by doing grocery pick up exclusively. So I got creative and made a lot of new recipes using what we had. One was homemade cinnamon rolls using crescent rolls. They turned out super delicious and are a great alternative to store bought cinnamon rolls. My only hate on these is that the brown sugar mixture can really harden after the cinnamon rolls sit for a while. But they are still super tasty!

Homemade Thousand Island Dressing

I love thousand island dressing. It is probably my favorite salad dressing. I love it even more when it is homemade. Brad doesn’t like it though, so I rarely make it since it won’t last long enough for just me. I tend to just buy it in bottle form. But sometimes when we have company that will eat it, I will make it.

Dole Whip

Disney released their dole whip recipe a while back, and I decided to give it a try. It was really good, but I definitely recommend making about half of the recipe unless you want to split it, ha!

Blue Milk

As a surprise for Star Wars Day (aka May 4th), I wanted to make Brad some blue milk like at Walt Disney World. We loved the blue milk, not the green milk so much. I found a lot of different recipes online, but this was also in the middle of difficult times to find unique things during grocery pickup. So I improvised one of the recipes with what I could find. It isn’t perfect by any means, but it is fairly close enough for us!

Lemon Bars

This is another discovered recipe that I made years ago (notice baby Melody down below!). Lemon bars are super yummy, and I am glad I found this because these are fairly easy to make and we almost always have these ingredients on hand!

Steak Peppercorn Salad

As you can likely tell from the pictures, we made this recipe a LONG time ago, but we were making it frequently. And I simply forgot to post about it! We haven’t made this in a while simply because it is a bit time consuming, but as I write this, I am starting to think maybe we should give it a go soon during this quarantine!

Corn Casserole

One of the new dishes I wanted to make for Easter was a corn casserole. I love corn, but I wanted something a bit fancier for Easter. It turned out delicious and was really easy to make.

Honey Bun Cake

So this is one of those recipes I have seen floating around facebook for some time. I actually bought all the ingredients with the thought I would make it for Emily and Justin during a game night. But then the Corona Virus hit, and we haven’t seen then in well over a month. So I gave up and made it for Brad and me. It is really good, but it does make a LOT. So we wasted probably half of it.

Southern Gravy

I love gravy and biscuits, but I can’t have it at most places because it is made with pork and I am allergic. So I find myself making it at home instead. This is definitely a weekend breakfast for us, and it is better made with grease from turkey sausage or pork sausage/bacon instead of vegetable oil if you have it.

Scallops

For my birthday, we decided to stay in that evening and cook steak and scallops. This would allow us to eat cake after dinner since we were not eating out and getting dessert then. Well I wanted to share the recipe I came up with to make them. Brad loved them. I really liked them myself. They could have had a bit more flavor though. Next time I will add more salt and pepper than just a sprinkle.

Taco Seasoning

So we eat tacos fairly frequently. So much so I bought a huge thing of taco seasoning from Sam’s a while back. We do taco ring, tacos, chicken tacos, etc. Well I recently ran out, and we haven’t renewed our membership. I also forgot to get any at Walmart on the week we had planned to make tacos. So I did some googling and found a recipe I liked, and we had all the ingredients in our spice cabinet. Brad actually prefers this version, so I may make a bigger batch since it stores well. We used all of this in one week, ha.

Beach Cookies

I made cookies for one of Brad’s coworkers this summer for their beach trip, and I wanted to share. I used my cookie and icing recipe as usual. I found a cookie cutter set on Amazon. It had a palm tree, sunglasses, and flip flops. They were not my best work, but I still think they turned out cute.
