This post has been in the archives for a while waiting for a good time to be published. I did make enchiladas today, but not beef. I actually made sour cream chicken and cheese enchiladas, but I didn’t take any pictures, so they will not be blogged about this time. Enchiladas are a great food [...]

This is another recipe from the Rachael Ray magazine. I love her (and her recipes)! This was another first use of an ingredient for me- puff pastry. I had always ignored recipes with puff pastry in them because I was intimidated (there was absolutely no reason behind this), but not too long ago my friend [...]

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients: 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 [...]

This meatloaf, courtesy of The Pioneer Woman, was the best meatloaf I have ever made. The flavor of it was amazing! This recipe makes a really huge meatloaf, so I recommend cutting it in half, unless you are going to be feeding a very large number of people. I will also add that meatloaf leftovers [...]
