Beef Brisket Recipe: Low, Slow, Simple and Perfect Every Time

July 27, 2020 by Susan 4 Comments

This recipe for braised beef brisket is surprisingly simple and turns out amazing every single time. Flavorful and tender, this one’s going to wow you!

 

I’ve been making Pioneer Woman’s brisket recipe with my own tweaks for years.  When I made it recently for a family gathering, my sister (who had never made brisket before, nor tried mine) said, “Why isn’t this recipe on your blog?”

Good question, Amy.  Here ya go!

Need to make hot dogs for a crowd? Use the crock pot!

Need to make hot dogs for a crowd? Use the crock pot!

 

Super simple.  Yummy.  Feeds a crowd.

You are going to want to hold on to this one.

We hosted our second and final graduation party last weekend. (One week after we geniusly decided to hold a yard sale…not the best decision!)

My eldest son had requested jambalaya for his grad party.  It was delish, but when my currently graduating son requested hot dogs and chips for his party, I was not disappointed at the ease of this menu.

A Quiche to Build a Dream On

April 29, 2019 by Susan 8 Comments

This easy quiche recipe is perfect for a light meal, serving overnight guests, and is an ideal freezer meal.  Whether you pop it right in the oven or make it ahead, this is one recipe you will come back to again and again.

A Quiche to Build a Dream On

 

Eggs are cheap.  But somehow mixing them with other goodies and baking them in a pie crust makes them taste fancy.

I am a big fan of recipes that you can customize, and quiche fits that bill perfectly.  My favorite is ham and green onion with lots of cheese.  But it’s delish with veggies like spinach, too.  Or even kind of plain with just a little onion and cheese.  Sky’s the limit!

Chipotle Chicken Taquitos for the Freezer

April 1, 2019 by Susan 6 Comments

These chipotle chicken taquitos freeze beautifully and bake up crispy and delicious.  Perfect to pull out for a quick lunch or weeknight dinner.

 

Sometimes all you need to do is change one little thing to take a recipe over the top.

There are lots of recipes for freezer taquitos out there.  I tried a few and made them several times to have on hand for my husband and I for lunch.  All of the recipes I tried called for a can of chopped green chiles.  And they were good.  Fine.

We liked them, but when I made the switch from green chiles to chipotles— revolutionary!

Easy Sausage Egg Bake

Easy Sausage Egg Bake

 

Whoever invented the concept of brunch deserves some kind of trophy.

This easy recipe is one of the stars of many-a brunch.  It’s versatile enough that you could add any number of ingredients to customize it just the way you like.  I usually keep it simple with just breakfast sausage and cheese.

But it would be delicious with bacon or ham, for sure.  Any number of veggies sound yummy, too.  Peppers and onions or spinach sound best to me.

Rich and savory and seasoned just perfectly, this casserole is altogether satisfying.

Chicken Pot Pie 2 Ways

April 23, 2018 by Susan 5 Comments

Chicken Pot Pie with one crust or two crusts, baked in an iron skillet or in a pie plate. Same easy recipe, same homey comfort food.

Did you grow up on those little, frozen, pucks of pot pie like I did?  In college they were a staple, and when Greg and I first got married, they made quick weekend lunches.

Then I learned how to make it myself, and I haven’t bought one since.

Not only is this probably my favorite use of Thanksgiving leftovers (beside sandwiches…there’s just something special about a post-Thanksgiving turkey sandwich, isn’t there?) but one of my top comfort foods in general.  It’s on my list of meals to take to friends in need, too.
