Gyros-You Are My HeroGyros-You Are My HeroHubby actually made an appearance at the grocery store with me the other day–shocking I know. He found it to be quite the social gathering and now knows why it takes me so long to get through the place! He also found all kinds of things that I never look at. For instance, lamb slices in our deli. Now I’ve seen… |

I answered my own question with the creation of this wonderful dish that was one of my better throw together meals. Clean out your pantry my friends, you’ll be surprised… |

Fried OlivesFried OlivesNot so long ago, I found gigantic olives at my not-so-local big box store. Since we love olives around here, I knew they would get eaten, but I also wanted to make something with them. Then it hit me–I always wanted to make deep fried olives and I happened to have some gorgonzola cheese on hand, so I stuffed a few olives,… |

Caramel Apple CheesecakeCaramel Apple CheesecakeFall is by far my favorite time of the year! And one of the reasons it is is APPLES! We are lucky enough to have numerous apple orchards and apple fests in our area, but I never count out the ease of a good canned apple pie filling. This cheesecake was so simple to throw together it literally took about 15… |

Short RibsShort RibsI have a confession to make: I am not really a short rib fan. If I was, this is exactly how I would love them. Let me explain: The flavors are out of this world and the 3 hours spent cooking it made the house smell awesome! I think it’s the texture of the meat that I wasn’t crazy about. I know these are served in high… |

Buffalo Chicken Roll-UpsBuffalo Chicken Roll-UpsI made these for the big game last weekend, and they were the first thing to go! I came up with the idea when our rotisserie chickens were on sale and I had a canister of pre made pizza dough in the fridge. I served them with a side of Ranch dressing/hot sauce mixed for a dipping sauce. Perfect little bites of… |

Pizza DipPizza DipThe other night we made homemade pizzas on the grill. Thus ending up with all kinds of topping leftovers. I was perusing one of my favorite blogs-Closet Cooking when I ran across this recipe and since I trust Kevin’s judgement on most things food, I decided to give it a try and use up all those leftovers. I must say that we… |

Buffalo Hot WingsBuffalo Hot WingsFor the last Super Bowl, since my beloved Packers weren’t playing (last year I concentrated on the game and made little food) I concentrated on the food aspect of the celebration. I made a few awesome things-these wings being one of them! I got the idea from 10 Dollar Dinners and I will certainly be making these… |

Creamy Garlic SoupCreamy Garlic SoupI made this around Valentine’s Day, but decided to wait to post it, because frankly, who wants to eat this much garlic during the “season of Love”? Unless, of course, you are both eating it, then by all means, go ahead and make until your heart’s content! I LOVE garlic, but was quite worried as to how much garlic is… |

Taco Seasoning-DIYTaco Seasoning-DIYI make a ton of Mexican food around here! One of the things that I had been put off by was the processed taste of your standard seasoning packets. A while back I began to play around with different recipes to make my own seasoning, and frankly most of the ingredients are always in my pantry so it was a no-brainer!… |
