Italian Squash and Tomatoes

August 5, 2013 by Tabitha 1 Comment

I love summer. The squash around here is always abundant and typically sells for $0.99 per pound, making it a frugal side for any meal. The most famous version of yellow squash in my part of the United States is crook-neck, named for the slight C-shape to the neck. Zucchini, which is green, is also a squash […]

August Oven-Free Dinner Menu with Recipe Links

July 29, 2013 by Tabitha 20 Comments

As summer winds down, we seem to find the hottest days here in the southern United States. The challenge in our home is to keep the air conditioner from overworking. So, we maintain an oven-free dinner menu through mid-September when the temperature cools enough for our oven to regain its usefulness. If you have the […]

Black Bean and Beef Tacos with Grilled Zucchini

July 23, 2013 by Tabitha Leave a Comment

My husband and I love Mexican food. We love it messy and call a night of great eats “Messed-Up Mexican.” That’s a good thing, I assure you. By mixing black beans with the ground beef, I can stretch a small amount of meat to make it feed the entire family. The beef and beans is […]

Crock Pot Caramel Pie

July 19, 2013 by Tabitha 26 Comments

Bill loves O’Charley’s Caramel Pie and when he learned that I could make it, he began to request Caramel Pie in the place of a birthday cake. Since making a Caramel Pie is tens times easier than making a birthday cake, who am I to refuse? But, with four children in the house, I was […]

Living in the South, the only thing we love more than bacon is cream cheese. When you combine the two, you have Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Chicken Breast. This was so yummy.  Bill told me that he had married way out of his league after just one bite. It was so simple too. I am almost embarrassed […]

My Favorite Meatloaf

July 18, 2013 by Tabitha 1 Comment

This is the meatloaf I grew up with… enhanced only slightly. Of course, my mother was a working woman and “bake” our meatloaf in a microwavable Bundt pan, cooking it in half the time. If you feel like trying a little batch cooking, make two of these: one for the oven and one for the […]

This post contains affiliate links. I experimented once by placing my family on a gluten-free diet. While I did not see any immediate results (because I think it takes longer than one month to see a difference), I gained a huge appreciation for my friends who have to be gluten-free. This recipe from Abe’s Market […]

July 13, 2013 by Tabitha 3 Comments

In the movie Julie and Julia, the character explains that it is rude to say that something you cooked is “Yum” but allow me to let my redneck rudeness peak out for a moment. YUMMMM!
