Holiday Munchies: Goldfish Snack Mix
The holidays are a time of playing games and bonding as a family, and everybody knows all that quality time makes you hungry. I love having munchies around to snack on during a great game of canasta. Not to mention snacks for traveling and the fun New Year's Eve party. That's why I'm doing a series called Holiday Munchies. Last week in the series, I shared a Garlic Ranch Pretzels recipe. But ya'll know how much I love goldfish (the snack not the kind that actually swims!), so this week I'm sharing a Goldfish Snack Mix with you. These little fishies have a great flavor! And even though they Continue Reading
Holiday Munchies: Garlic Ranch Pretzels
For the holidays, I'm doing several series for ya'll. First, I wrote about my three favorite soups for those cold winter days: potato, vegetable and chili.

I love having snack food around for the holidays because its great to nibble on while playing games with family or (in our case this year) for traveling to see family. To start off this snack series, I'm sharing a recipe for garlic ranch pretzels! These babies 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
Chicken Pot Pie Casserole
Travis and I have found our favorite meal! Just look at that golden ooey-gooey cheesy garlicy biscuity deliciousness. Yes, it is all of those things and more! This recipe definitely qualifies as comfort food. So let me share the recipe so you can make it yourself and fall in love. First bake 4-6 chicken breasts. Shred the chicken. I put it in my Kitchen Aid mixer to shred. While it was in the mixer, I sprinkled it with the ranch mix (excluding 1/2 tsp to be used for later) plus salt and pepper. Mix the seasonings in and set aside. On medium heat, whisk together the soup, broth and Continue Reading
