You’ll Never Believe What’s In These!

I’m always looking for new ways to add veggies into our dinner rotation. I’m not really much of a salad-eater; I do love a good salad but if I have to cut, grate and chop a lot to make it, it’s just not going to happen. I’m determined to cook homemade meals from scratch, but hey – I’m not a miracle worker! That being said, I want to make sure my kids eat vegetables every day, and I especially want them to like their veggies. It’s not always easy but this recipe they just can’t resist!

So far my two sons have not particularly liked carrots. I have served grated carrots occasionally and they think it’s “ok”, I also add diced carrots to soups and sometimes casseroles, too. But they’re not the world’s greatest fans when it comes to this orange vegetable, so they were a little sceptical when I was serving this side dish.

Not for long, though! As soon as they had had their first bite, they both said these maple glazed carrots were delicious! And I have to agree with them – these are the tastiest carrots I’ve ever had, and I have a feeling we’re going to be having this often from now on!

You CANNOT LOSE With This Recipe!

Summer is not even half way through but we’ve already had plenty of get-togethers and family meals over the grill. Even though I very much enjoy all the BBQ dishes, sometimes I just don’t feel like heating up the grill and staying next to it for an hour to make sure nothing gets burned.

Or, like the other day, when it was pouring down, I would much rather cook dinner in the kitchen. My sister and her family were coming over so I knew I needed a recipe that would feed a larger crowd. My two nephews are all grown up already (gosh, that makes me feel so old) and they’re not picky eaters, that’s for sure!

Fortunately, I had saved a few recipes for a rainy day (literally) and I decided to make these pork spareribs. They seemed simple enough to cook, and more importantly I knew I had pork spareribs in the freezer. I always stock up on meat whenever it’s on sale!

The aromas lingering in the kitchen were to die for, and you wouldn’t believe how fast my nephews emptied their plates and went for seconds!

When it comes to recipes, I know I can always trust the Amish-inspired ones. Whenever a recipe says “Amish”, it’s going to be delicious – whether it’s a dessert or a casserole, it doesn’t really matter! I have a stash of favorite recipes (all of them approved by my family) and I think of a hundred recipes probably 50% are based on an original Amish recipe. What can I say – they’re just really delicious recipes and I’m always eager to find even more!

I don’t think I know a single person who doesn’t like Amish cinnamon rolls. Yum! They were my favorite Sunday breakfast – until I tried this recipe. These sticky buns are so tasty that I would rather eat them all by myself than share with anyone!

I know that’s a very selfish thing to say but I’m just being honest here. Once you sink your teeth into these, you’ll know exactly what I mean! Of course you could always make a double batch (one for you, one for sharing) or just make these when no-one else is home…

But if you do decide to share, I’m sure your family and friends will be very happy about it!

This Italian pot roast contains a lot of flavors that you will go crazy about.

I have to admit that the first time I tasted this during a dinner at my brother’s place, I was speechless. When you take a bite of this pot roast, you would be attacked by several flavors all at the same time. It was an overwhelming experience for me. And then the flavors will instantly mellow into something soothing and almost comforting. You will then start to appreciate the taste and then recognize the flavors that were in there.

When I took my first bite of this, I was taken aback. And then when the flavors started to flow inside my mouth, I began to identify each and every one of them. You will be surprised by how those flavors fused together so well to create one extraordinary pot roast recipe.

The best thing about this Italian pot roast recipe is that no flavor dominated the taste. There was balance in here- a quality every pot roast should have. You can taste the harmony between the ingredients, which would make you feel more comfortable and relaxed in eating it.

This is the perfect meal to serve for a family reunion. Everyone will appreciate the homey quality of this dish that would probably remind everyone of their childhood. This is going to be a hit; that’s for sure.

Not long ago, my husband, myself, and our two kids saddled up in the car and headed South. We were going to visit my aunt and uncle, along with some of my cousins and their kids, that we hadn’t seen in years.

They didn’t have the ability to travel to us, so I made the decision to go see them. I didn’t want to go any longer without seeing them. By the time we waited for the “right time” all the kids would be grown and out of the house. I was afraid they wouldn’t know who I even was. So, away we went on our ten hour car ride. We were so excited to see everyone, it seemed like it took us two days to get there.

Maybe it was because my kids were screaming in the back seat after about the first six hours. I could understand, nobody wants to be in a car for that long. We didn’t even stop for our last meal, we didn’t want to have to get them out and put them back in. I just called my aunt to see if there would be food upon our arrival.

She said, “Of course! Don’t worry about a thing!” After we finally arrived, we were welcome by the most amazing scent of something cooking. I asked what it was and they said well bourbon chicken! Oh, my, gosh…I don’t know if it was just because I was so happy to be out of the car or if I was so hungry, it was the best chicken I had ever tasted. I didn’t leave from that trip without the recipe.

Quick Tip: Serve over rice or with mashed potatoes.

My Mom and Dad were getting ready to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary. I wanted to plan a big party with all of their friends and family, a catered meal, and a hall to take care of all of us.

My parents, being the quiet and reserved couple that they are, didn’t want to do that. They didn’t want something loud that would draw attention to them. I told them that they had to do something to express their big accomplishment and love for one another. It’s not many couples that make it that far these days. They said just a small dinner at home with the kids and grandkids would be enough.

They also wanted something homemade, not a big fancy dinner. When I came across this recipe on Group Recipes, I knew it was going to be perfect for the occasion. I took on the role of making the dinner because I love to cook. It was surprisingly easy to make, and it tasted so great. Everyone really enjoyed it.

There were a few leftovers remaining and my parents said they finished them up the following day. and they were just as good. I was so happy to be able to provide them such a wonderful meal for their special day.

Quick Tip: Use whatever pasta you have on hand.

I don’t know how your kids are, but mine are fast food junkies. Whenever we go into town, it doesn’t matter if they just ate an hour ago, they want me to take them through the drive-thru for a cheeseburger.

It’s so unhealthy! Sometimes I allow it, other times I just have to say no. I was tired of disappointing them when I had to skip their favorite restaurants, so I had to find something else I could give them in place of their most loved meal. When I found this recipe on Group Recipes, I instantly knew it was going to be a favorite at our house.

They would love the taste, I would love how easy it was, not to mention the facts that it was healthier and more affordable. This went together so simply the first time I made it. And thankfully, the kids loved it.

It was a lot more filling than those fast food cheeseburgers too. We have this a few times a month at least now. There is enough here to feed the whole family!
