This savory, slightly spicy beef sandwich is what you get when you marry Asian style stir fry Mongolian Beef with a Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich. I love to experiment with different cuisines or methods that are familiar and then add a different twist. The inspiration for this sandwich came from one of my favorite foodie…

Eggless Pumpkin Bread
This eggless vegan pumpkin bread tastes fantastic. Why did I make this? Am I allergic to eggs? No. But it would be an excellent option for someone who is. Am I vegan? No. However, I believe vegans would like this recipe. Why did I make it? Well. I was out of eggs, of course! I…
Tortellini Bacon and Broccoli Salad
What’s for lunch? I don’t know until I check the fridge and pantry. You will notice this is an ongoing theme. I almost called this blog From Pantry to Plate but that was taken. I would like to say I am organized and plan all my meals a week or month in advance. But sadly…
Easy Sausage Pizza by Johnsonville
It was 6:00 pm when I got home from work. Hubby came home a few minutes later. He was hungry, asking what’s for dinner and when will it be ready. My immediate thought was “I have no idea.” That was our house last night. You too? Let me share with you what I did. I looked…

Italian Sausage, Peppers, & Onions Tacos
I am no longer the head chef in my kitchen anymore. No, I have been demoted to Sous Chef. Our sweet yellow lab, Rosie, has taken over as head chef. Rosie takes food very seriously. She loves food. She lives for food; and supervises my cooking while laying on the kitchen floor. She does not…

Then I found out that AllRecipes is asking that we, AllRecipes Allstars, make recipes from their collection of Johnsonville…

Pumpkin Streusel Muffins Drizzled with White Chocolate
MMM! Pumpkin Streusel Muffins Drizzled with White Chocolate! Imagine a chilly, blustery fall morning, with the autumn-colored red, orange and yellow leaves falling from the trees. You are inside sipping your coffee (or your favorite Starbucks expresso, latte, you fill in the type of coffee), wrapped in your bulky sweater, the aroma of cinnamon and…
Pumpkin Magic Bars
Pumpkin Magic Bars. Hoping to get that “fall feeling” even though it is still 95 degrees outside, I bought some pumpkin and went searching online for recipes. When I saw the Pumpkin Magic Bars recipe on Crazy For Crust blog, I knew I had to make these. After all, it would require some “magic” to…
Creamy Tomatillo Jalapeno Ranch Dip
To say Texas has lots of Tex-Mex restaurants would be a huge understatement. We have one on almost every corner. Each one has its own specialty. One of the more popular chains in Texas and other Southeastern states is Chuy’s. They have many wonderful dishes, but what makes people keep coming back is their creamy…
Oatmeal Pancakes

Nutty Wacky Crazy Cake
I was looking for a delicious, rich, moist chocolate cake recipe and decided to combine the AllRecipes.com Crazy Cake and Sweet Little Bluebird’s Chocolate Crazy Cake. For the icing I used the Best Chocolate Frosting recipe on AlllRecipes.com. What makes this cake crazy? (Other than this crazy cook baking it for her crazy family?) It has no…
Easy Crockpot Chicken Chili
Easy Crockpot Chicken Chili. I grew up on Texas chili, which is all beef and no beans. So when I first heard of chicken “chili” with white beans, my first thought was this does not qualify as chili. Is some New Yorker or California foodie trying to pass this off as chili to us Texans?…
Quick and Easy Chicken Posole
My first recipe as part of the AllRecipes.com Sunday Supper movement is Quick and Easy Chicken Posole.
