Cream Cheese and Herb Scallop Potatoes

April 6, 2021 No Comments

OK so you probably have seen me post and talk about these potatoes on my IG account. I promised the recipe and here it is! These cream cheese and herb scallop potatoes are my favorite side dish when I making a meat as the main course. They go amazing with pork loin, ham and ribs. But honestly anything! Those are just my family favorites. I first made these for Christmas. They have now become a tradition to our meal. The cream cheese and the mix of the sage and rosemary make this dish so incredibly rich and delicious. So I like to start melting my butter in my pan. While it’s melting I chop up my onion and add it to the butter. I sprinkle with salt and pepper and let saute for a few minutes. Then I add my minced garlic. Stir it up and let cook just briefly. Now it’s time for the yummy part. Add in your cream cheese and milk. It will take a little bit to get it all melted. You can use a whisk to break part the cream cheese and get it mixed and melted really well. In the meantime, start slicing your […]

Meat N’ Tater Pie and Cheesy Hamburger and Tater Casserole

March 23, 2021 1 Comment

So this first recipe is inspired by the oh so amazing Joanna Gaines. I saw it on her new cooking show. Her Granddad’s famous dish. A yummy Lebanese Fatayar. Well my version is not Lebanese but maybe a little Texan! I shall you Meat N’ Tater Pie 😉 These savory little ground beef and hash brown biscuit pies were a huge hit with my family. With crazy simple ingredients I thought they might be dry but not at all. And don’t let the word “Fatayar” scare you! Literally means meat pie! I went the simple route and used canned grocery biscuits like Jo suggests. All you have to do is flour them and roll them out and you are good to go. But you can also make your own dough if you prefer. Now I folded mine a little different. I went with the empanada style. Folding in half then crimping the edges with a fork. I love that both these recipes have similar ingredients yet taste completely different. So helpful when creating your shopping list. Also being versatile, you can swap out ground beef for ground turkey or the sour cream for Greek yogurt. Really customize to what works […]

The Ultimate Banana Bread

December 5, 2018 No Comments

I have made this bread prolly 100 times! It never gets old. And chances are if you are close to me you have received at least a loaf or two! It’s a giftable bread! 😉 So that’s why I call it my Ultimate Banana Bread. Every time I shop I buy about 8-10 bananas. They go pretty quickly at my house. But it’s a general rule if you see 2 or 3 bananas left you leave them alone. You let them get ugly and brown cause that means Mom will make banana bread. My family LOVES banana bread. It maybe last 1 day! So I make it often. I started off using a yum recipe from Paula Deen. As you can see this page is well loved. I honestly think that is a dried piece of banana!! But over time I have created my own recipe. I start off using this exact recipe. However, I’ve added in a few extras. I only use two bananas. For me, using three just makes it a little too “banana-y”. I also add in cinnamon and my secret ingredient, maple extract. It adds such a yummy flavor and goes great with the cinnamon. I […]
