Easy Fajita Bowls

You can create so many meals with fajita mix! I enjoy making traditional fajitas with soft tortillas. I also love it on nachos. Lately though, I’ve been playing around with starches. 🍚🍜🍲  First, let’s start with the rice bowl. I like to use the rice in a bag because it is […]

Slider Classroom

I think I’ve found my new calling as a toddler cooking instructor. My sister brought her two kiddos over for a visit this week. She has been telling me about what great helpers they are in the kitchen so I racked my brain thinking of a fun foodie project. Initially, […]

Casserole State of Mind

It all started last week with a potato casserole. Some may refer to it as hamburger casserole but it’s the one with alternating layers of sliced potatoes, ground beef and cream of mushroom with onion. I like to top mine with shredded cheese because everything is just better with cheddar.🤣🧀👍 […]

S’moredom

Is there anybody out there?👀 How is everyone in the blogosphere doing in this period of social distancing? We’re ok over here in the mood ring kitchen. Just a little bored. However, boredom can often lead to creativity.  My cooking style could be described as “use what you got” which […]
