Cajun Grill Packets

It’s grilling season! It is finally warm outside and if you follow my posts at all you know how much I love to grill, I wanted to make something totally new and I had the idea of a Cajun style recipe. This is a pretty simple recipe and it can be changed and adapted depending…

Wild Pear glaze/sauce

My in laws have a wild pear tree and every year I think surly there is something I can do with them and not let them go to waste.  Wild pears are super hard so they aren’t very good to just eat.  I had a big ham and wanted to do something with it so me and…

Pepper Beef Stir Fry

Recently I got a wok and now it is one of my new favorite things!! I have always wanted one and always kept an eye out for one.  When the shut down happened me and my family stuck pretty close to home so I decided to just go ahead an order one.  The day I…

Sausage Gravy

I love breakfast food, normally not at breakfast time, so every now and then my family and I make a ridiculous amount of breakfast food together for dinner. Normally these meals involve bacon, waffles, eggs, and of course biscuits and gravy. Biscuits and gravy are one of those foods for me that I can eat…

Sweet and Spicy Grilled Wings

This is a pretty easy recipe, there are a few specific spices I use and marinade. I do really like the brands I use but if you find something similar it will work just as well. There is a tropical seasoning that I use that may be hard to find so if you can’t no…

Simple Pan Cooked Porkchops

This makes for a really simple and fast meal, also it doesn’t take to many ingredients which comes in handy in times like these that grocery stores are still struggling to keep up on meat supply. I was going to make breaded pork chops one night then realized I didn’t have any eggs but there…

Grilled Cajun Chicken Quarters

I love to grill and it is finally grilling season! I did have to fight some strong winds last night but it was all worth it for this dinner! This recipe has turned into one of our family favorites, especially because I cook them long and slow so it gives us a bunch of time…

Layered Taco Casserole

I totally stole this idea from my sister in law…thanks, Katie!! What makes this meal great is you can use basically whatever ingredients you have around if you have potatoes. I used several ingredients because I had some leftover grilled peppers and some black beans in the refrigerator. This would be delicious with just taco…

Black Beans and Ham

This is kinda a take-off of Brazilian black beans, I had them at a restaurant once and was blown away from the taste. This is a great recipe, especially now with the lockdown situation, it costs very little and can easily be a complete meal with some rice.  I use what they call a “ham…

Lemon Pepper Pork Chops and Gravy

Hello all from lockdown!! Yep, we are still social distancing so I am still making recipes with things I happen to have already. This is a nice recipe to make on a cold rainy day, which here in Indiana we have had quite a few recently. It doesn’t require too much and none of the…
