Recipe Rescue

I don't know about you, but when I think of a cast iron skillet I think of my mom. My mom made the best ever fried chicken and when she used her cast iron skillet it was even better. I had always wanted a cast iron skillet, but had never purchased one.

Warmer weather means lighter dinners and bbq's and snacking. This recipe is good to take as a side dish to a bbq or for a lighter dinner. (lighter in that it's not a heavy pot roast and potatoes, not necessarily lighter in the calorie department)

You know me, if I can figure out how to put bacon in something and wrap it in a pastry, I am all over it! Here we go again.

I love it when you send me recipe and love love it when you send me pictures. Thank you to Rachel of Windsor for sending such a great recipe. I hope that you enjoy it.

I love me some steak, bet you do too! This is a fairly easy recipe, don't get intimidated, you can do it and you will love it!

I grew up eating artichokes, love artichokes. I can remember the first time I introduced them to my kids, they really didn't know what to think of them. Colton never really got into them, the other three loved them. The only 'argument' about artichokes at our dinner table was whether or not to eat them with butter or mayo.

I have struggled for years to come up with a pasta sauce that tasted like something other than tomatoes. I Bobby 'Flayed' them there tomatoes till there was no tomorrow and still, blah. Until I discovered that less is typically more.

Cold weather dictates food that sticks to your ribs, but cold weather food usually takes a long time to cook, not this recipe and it will fill so yummy to the cold weather tummy.

My friend Chris and I made these last weekend and they were so good. And as with any recipe, we started thinking of all the different ways that you could do them.

Quick and Easy is the way to go throughout the week and these pockets of goodness are quick to put together and will have you on the road to laundry and homework help in no time.

As I packed my lunch today, I thought to myself, what kind of crunchy snack do I have to take along?! Oh, Cheez-Its, reduced fat and Hot and Spicy, so I mixed the two in a sandwich baggie and was on my way. (the thought part reduced fat/part spicy, I gotta be saving calories-ha)

Groceries are unloaded and the prep has begun for our Taste of Home Cooking school tonight at the Lincoln Center in Fort Collins.
