Trim Healthy Tuesday – Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing (S)

Trim Healthy Tuesday – Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing (S)

I’m not an eBook kind of girl. I like REAL cookbooks that I can put my hands on…that I can thumb through…that I can get tomato sauce all over in the kitchen…that Annie can color on when I’m not looking. But, I’m still cooking through my eCookbook stash here because I have collected quite a few from friends and fellow bloggers. And plus, I know some of you are REALLY into eBooks.Continue reading

Crock Pot Southwest Chicken and Rice Chowder

Crock Pot Southwest Chicken and Rice Chowder

By Contributing Writer, Jessica Smartt

The first time I ate Southwest Chicken Chowder, I’m pretty sure I cried because it was so wonderful.

I’m not usually this dramatic about my dinner, but at the time, I was three days post-partum with my second son, exhausted, weepy, and starving. And this yummy chowder was a gift from my friend, Kate, who knows that bringing dinner to a new mom is about #3 on the list of “Nicest Things You Can Do for Anyone.”

I have made this many times since then. I don’t always shed tears of joy eating it, but almost. I love that this dish is yummy and allergy-friendly, as we manage multiple food allergies. It’s perfect for rainy days, cold days, hot days, basically any day you need dinner. Which here, is every day. We do not skip dinner.Continue reading

Trim Healthy Tuesday: Almond Flour Brownies (S)

Trim Healthy Tuesday: Almond Flour Brownies (S)

I’ve never met a brownie I didn’t like. Wait. Scratch that. I have met brownies I didn’t like…dry ones. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust brownies. No thanks…but gooey brownies. Yeah, buddy. Come to Mama!

Y’all told me on Facebook you wanted me to start posting coconut flour and almond flour recipes…and I’m happy to oblige because that’s mostly what I find myself using these days. I love both of them – they are different, but I love the taste and texture.Continue reading

Easy Crock Pot Vegetables

Easy Crock Pot Vegetables

This isn’t one of those crock pot recipes that you use because you need to leave the house for the day and want dinner ready when you get home. This is one of those “it’s too hot to turn on the oven today but I still want yummy vegetables with my steak” kind of recipes.

Sometimes the crock pot isn’t for long cooking – sometimes it’s for keeping the house cool. Sometimes it’s for making more room on the stove if you’re cooking for a crowd and need that space. Sometimes it’s because your oven is broken. Sometimes it’s because you’re obsessed with your crock pot.Continue reading

How To: Spaghetti Squash

How To: Spaghetti Squash

Just a little video for y’all today. I’ve had several of you leave comments and send me emails about spaghetti squash – you want to know how I do it…so, here’s a video of my method.

Also, I will warn you – toward the end, all craziness breaks loose in the Myers house. You’ve been warned…so proceed with caution.

We LOVE spaghetti squash and I actually prefer it in place of noodles – hence my love of Spaghetti Squash Casserole. The texture is different, but it’s very pleasing to the palate…yeah, country Stacy just said that. It felt weird too.  I’ve even been able to serve it to people and they didn’t know they weren’t eating REAL noodles.
