Our Favorite Hamburger
I don’t know what has come over me lately, but I have been longing for some greasy hamburgers. Literally, dreaming for them. Last week I was diagnosed with Covid. I had a fever, congestion, headache, cough, drainage, sore throat, no voice, and was quite miserable for about 3 days. I was so lucky to not…

Vinaigrette House Dressing
The rumors are true. I will drink the extra dressing out of the bowl like a savage. It does make me feel better that my 3 year old son does the same thing. There is something about this dressing that’s addicting. It makes you do funny things. This dressing is an adaptation of Aldi’s off-brand…

Weeknight Taco-(La)sagna
I don’t know one person out there that wouldn’t use an easy dinner. Even in quarantine somehow our lives still become consumed with something. So here is an easy dump casserole that can totally be as last minute as you want. Plus! An easy clean-up. Dump (I really don’t like this word) cans of chopped…

Slow Cooker Fajita Chicken Tostadas
Here’s the deal. You make the sauce, you throw the chicken in. It cooks. You’re done. Voila! In my pictures, I did braise the chicken so I could use the drippings for a yummy sauce, but you don’t have to! Gosh darn, I love slow cookers. They make the world go ’round. Don’t ignore…

Potato Leek and Bacon Soup
Here in Tejas, and the majority of America was hit by a random winter blast. It’s almost surreal to think that happened. I won’t disclose how many years I have enjoyed here, due to the fact I’ve always lived here (therefore you’d know my age), but I have never seen such a thing. Let’s just…

Easy Weekday Pot Roast!
I have a passion for working moms. I’m one myself. Whether your a stay at home or an 8-5 mom we all are doing our best. Wouldn’t it be great if dinner just showed up and was homemade? This pot roast is great for the ending of winter. It’s warm and cozy, perfect next to…

Mutt Moments and Mashed Potatoes
MUTTS If you’re not a dog person, you don’t understand. It all may seem crazy, but dog-people crazy is definitely normal. What’s not normal is my dog being human. I swear, he’s part-dog, part-human. If he was fully a person, he would be an overweight and lazy dead-beat teenager. Don’t get me wrong, I love…

Holiday Steaks Done Right!
Every year I plan December: I have gifts bought, menus planned and the lists checked off by the beginning of the month. Could you imagine how ugly this would get if it wasn’t organized? Ha! Probably just fine, and just as much fun. Yet, no matter how well l plan or how much I’ve saved,…

Thai Butternut Squash Soup
Here in Texas, this fall has had surprisingly good weather. We don’t typically get a fall, at least not a real one. It’s usually either summer, unbearable summer, or winter… with a dash of fall and spring. I think fall being more than 3 weeks, has been almost troublesome to most…

Let’s Talk Soup! by GrammyAnn
David Letterman has an interview show on Netflix entitled, “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction.” They don’t because they are well known either as an actor, musician, or famous for being famous. Since I’m none of the above, I need an introduction. My name is Mary Ann and I’m married to Lisa’s dad, Bob. We’ve…
