My mom made this when I lived at home a lot, and we all loved it. This is the first time I made it for my own family, and thankfully it turned out just like mama's! This casserole is delicious! If you want it to be a vegetarian dish, just leave out the chicken. Otherwise, it's a perfect casserole that can count as a whole meal. No need for side dishes! Here's what you'll need: Chicken breasts Zucchini Carrots Onion Sour Cream Stuffing mix Butter Cream of mushroom soup (or chicken or celery) I began by baking the chicken and then I shredded it in my Kitchen Aid Continue Reading
Post-Workout Food Options
Like I've mentioned before during my veggie posts, I've been working out a lot lately. Riding the bike machine at the gym on post and then walking/jogging on a treadmill at an incline. I'm not a fitness master. I'm not in great shape. But I'm stronger than I was yesterday. As long as I'm keeping up with my workout each day, I'm always stronger than the day before. I'm improving. Slowly. But I am. When I get home after my workout, I either shower or eat depending on how hungry I am. I usually get home from the gym close to noon, so it's lunch time. The worst thing to do would be to open Continue Reading
Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
This bread is way better than your normal banana bread. Even my husband loved it and it has chocolate in it! I made it the other day and it was ready and still warm when Travis got home from work. Supper wasn't quite ready yet, so it was the perfect appetizer for him since he walks in the door starving every day. Making my husband happy when he walks in that door brings us both sunshine! Here's what you'll need: Yellow cake mix Eggs Overripe bananas Chocolate chips Mash up the bananas. I think four bananas would be best, but I only had two so I just went with it! (It Continue Reading
White Chicken Chili
When my husband and I were dating, we talked about who would do which chores. We didn't want to have the wrong expectations and end up fighting during our marriage.One of the things we talked about was who would do the cooking. We agreed I would cook most meals for our family. But I didn't want to have to cook every single day for the rest of our lives. So we came up with "Daddy Dinner Night." One night a week, my husband does the cooking for our evening meal. Even though he's not a daddy yet, we still call it Daddy Dinner Night. Someday, he'll be a daddy and it will make sense. Our Daddy Continue Reading
Cookies & Cream Milkshake
You know what is great about milkshakes? There are so many different flavors! One of my all-time favorite milkshake flavors is cookies and cream. When my husband whipped me up one and I tasted it's sweet creamy wonderfulness, I knew I had to share it with ya'll. Here's what you'll need: Oreos Milk Vanilla ice cream Pretty simple, huh? Put the Oreos in a Ziploc bag and crush them up. My husband used his big strong hands. But you could use a rolling pin too. Put the ice cream and milk in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the Oreo crumbs into the Continue Reading
Spicy Taco Chicken
TACOS. My husband loves tacos. Although, he uses soft taco shells instead of hard taco shells, so to me they are burritos. He calls them nachos. His whole family does. I don't get it. Tacos, burritos, or nachos -- call it what you will, but it's good. I don't like hamburger. Most people can't believe it, but I just don't. It's strange, I like steak or roast, but get that hamburger away from me. So instead of putting hamburger in our tacos, I wanted to try a Mexican chicken. And that's how this recipe came to be. Here's what you'll need: Chicken tenderloin breasts, Continue Reading
God’s Calling For Us
When I was 15, I went on a mission trip to New Orleans (pre-hurricane) to minister to the people of Louisiana. I had felt God calling me to do something, to go to a mission field and serve Him. I remember telling a boy I had a crush on that I was going on this mission trip. He told me it wasn't a real mission trip unless I was going someplace out of the country. At the time, and even now, I remember thinking how ridiculous that belief was. As I was talking to a friend today, I realized how much it bothers me when people think a mission trip has to be overseas or when they think being a Continue Reading
Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bites
I got home from working out and had a salad for lunch. It was good, but within an hour I was hungry for something else. Something sweet. I was tempted to pull out a bag of Reese's cups or grab a spoon and a pint of chocolate peanut butter ice cream from the freezer. But instead, I went with something a smidge healthier. I still got the chocolate and peanut butter taste, but I threw in a banana! Fruit = healthy, right? Well, it turns out bananas are a great post-workout food! They have fast-acting carbs that help restore your body's energy levels and rebuild damaged muscles. Plus, it has Continue Reading
Strawberry Oatmeal Smoothie
I'm proud to say I've been going to the gym on post to work out every day (well, not on weekends, but those don't count, right?) I usually get home right at lunch time, and I'm starving! I always want something healthy like fruits and veggies -- working out makes me want to eat healthier for some reason. Maybe because I don't want to cancel out all the work I just put in. Anyways, today I made a smoothie. Smoothies are usually pretty good for you and they are simple to make. This strawberry oatmeal smoothie had a tasty flavor and was filling. It was a great post-workout Continue Reading
Blueberry Lime Slushy
It sounds weird. It looks beautiful. It tastes tangy with a hint of sweet. It's a blueberry lime slushy. Yes, blueberries and limes together. Strange huh? But actually pretty good! The only bad thing about this beverage is you will get blueberry seeds stuck in your teeth. So drink it with folks you aren't afraid to look goofy with. What you'll need: Frozen blueberries Two limes, just their juice Ice Lemon-Lime soda (I used Sprite Zero) Honey Slice the two limes in half and juice them. Pour the juice into your blender. Pour in the frozen Continue Reading
The Perfect Pot Roast
The first time I made this meal, Travis practically broke out in applause he loved it so much. And If I could do a back flip I would have in celebration of such an amazing success of a meal. I love roast beef. I love potatoes. ( I don't think there's a starch I don't like!) I love carrots. And this recipe puts all those things together, but it's not just your normal pot roast recipe. This one is SOOOOO flavorful! It's one of those meals that makes you want to eat slowly to savor each and every bite. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! So let's get on with it, shall we? Here's what Continue Reading
Reese’s Frozen Pie
My brother and his girlfriend came to visit this past weekend. We had a fantastic time visiting Tybee Island, Wormsloe Plantation and River Street. I loved getting to hear my brother play his guitar and getting to know his girlfriend even better. Not to mention all the laughter we shared! My brother's birthday is this week so I decided to make a special dessert to celebrate. Who likes Reese's Peanut Butter Cups? The real question is who doesn't like Reese's? Chocolate and peanut butter together is like Heaven. So I made this Reese's frozen pie, and it was really good. What you'll Continue Reading
