Stop Spending a Fortune On Store-Bought!

Our local outdoors & sports store is going to take a massive financial hit now that I have this awesome recipe for homemade beef jerky!

My husband practically eats beef jerky for breakfast, lunch and dinner. So far he has picked up his favorite brand from that local store of ours, but after I made this the first time he said there’s no going back. I have to admit; I’ve never been that big of a fan of beef jerky but this one was super delicious!

Don’t worry if you don’t have a dehydrator. Yes, it would come in handy when making this, but you can make this in your oven, too! In fact, that’s how I did it and it turned out perfect. I did check on it a few times while cooking, and you should too. Even though you’ll get instructions on the temperature and time, all ovens are a little bit different and you can also adjust the time based on how you like your beef jerky.

Feel free to adjust the seasonings, too, but I would highly recommend trying the recipe as is, first. For us it was perfect!

Quick Tip: Store the beef jerky in an airtight container.

Because No-One Likes To Clean Up After Dinner

I’m having a super tight schedule today! I won’t bore you with the details but let’s just say I got up at 5am and I probably won’t be going to bed until midnight, so yeah, busy is the word. Somewhere in between all the craziness I’m supposed to cook dinner for my family – I could just go for takeout but it always makes me feel so guilty!

Instead, I’m going to make one of my favorite, super quick, one pan meals. What I dislike even more than really complicated and time consuming recipes, is the massive clean-up after dinner. So I’ve collected quite an impressive amount of simple recipes that don’t make a mess.

This roasted chicken and vegetables recipe is also a pretty inexpensive one! I often buy a huge batch of chicken thighs when they’re on sale, and then freeze them for later. Then just thaw them in the refrigerator overnight and they are ready to be cooked for dinner the next day.

My Favorite Holiday Side Dish!

If you are anything like me you have probably never even entertained the thought of eating artichokes.

I mean, I’ve had them pickled before and in hot dips but never have I ever an entire dish from artichokes… until now. Folks, this recipe is seriously amazing. You take a can of artichokes, prepare according to the recipe directions which can be found on the next page, and bake to perfection. What comes out of the oven is a heavenly dish that tastes like a dream come true. Who knew?

I really like making these Parmesan baked artichokes as a side dish when company is visiting. The presentation of the food looks amazing. Everyone is always impressed when I bring out this dish. And we all love that incredible, gooey cheese, don’t we?

So, g’head, try something new and exciting and bake up your own batch of these savory artichokes. Enjoy!

The Creamy Sauce Really Takes This Meal To The Next Level

I always make this wonderful chicken alfredo when I feel like having something tasty, super fast, and easy to put together. We often have dinner parties with friends and take turns bringing side dishes, entrees and desserts. This makes the perfect meal for those occasions because it’s made in a slow cooker!

I work from home, but I still don’t have too much extra time to slave away in the kitchen for these special dinners. So the slow cooker comes in handy – and when the meal is done, I can carry the whole thing with me and serve it hot, straight from the crock pot.

This creamy chicken alfredo recipe is the best one I’ve ever tried – and trust me, there have been many! This reminds me of the dish my grandmother used to make – although she did not use a slow cooker back then… I guess many things are a lot easier these days, than they were all those years ago!

My Husband’s Number 1 Favorite Recipe!

If you’re looking for the best brisket ever, you’ve come to the right place! I haven’t needed another recipe ever since the first time I tried making it this way. I love the barbecue flavors, I love how tender the meat is – and most of all, I love how simple this is to make. It takes very little prep work and then all you need is some patience, while your oven is doing the rest of the work for you!

Sometimes I like to add chopped veggies to the same roasting pan, a while before the brisket is done. This way I can get a full meal in one pan, with only a few minutes of extra prep. But most of the times we love to enjoy this brisket on sandwich buns. Drizzle with some hot sauce or garlic sauce – so scrumptious!

This is a great make ahead dish for a larger crowd. I’ve made this for game nights and all kinds of family gatherings. If you’re looking for an easy way to make a whole week’s lunch for the kids – this is it! According to my teenager, this makes “the BEST lunch sandwiches EVER”.

The Sauce Takes This Classic To The Next Level!

Do you ever get the weeknight meal blues? You know, when it feels like you’re just serving the same meals over and over again, one week after another. It’s totally ok not to make a restaurant quality dinner every day (or ever!) but if you could find a really easy way to do that, wouldn’t you want to give it a try?

This chicken parmesan with tomato sauce is exactly what you’ve been looking for. It is super quick and easy to make, the ingredients are inexpensive, and everyone loves the flavor! It’s not too spicy for children but the aromas are refined enough for anyone used to dining in fancy restaurants!

If you really want to amp up the flavor, you can use homemade marinara sauce. But don’t worry if you don’t have the time for it! This turns out absolutely delicious even when using store-bought sauce.

You can tweak the seasonings to your taste; I like to add a couple of cloves of crushed garlic when I add the marinara sauce, just to give the flavors an extra boost.

Quick Tip: You could use regular bread crumbs instead of making your own.

This Dip Will Make You Feel Like A Million Bucks!

I gotta tell you, people – this dip is so hearty and filling, you could serve this for dinner! This dip has got it all; the beans, the sausage – and look at all that delicious, ooey-gooey cheese! How could anyone say no to this?

I’m so glad I decided to give it a try. I wasn’t sure how the combination of these ingredients would work out. But this is, without a doubt, the tastiest dip I’ve ever made, and my whole family agrees with me.

It’s also really easy to put together, in case you’re thinking of making this for a game night or any kind of get-together. Just double the ingredients if you’re making this for a crowd; people will scoop the dish empty faster than you could ever imagine!

I served this with homemade tortilla chips but I bet this would also taste amazing, served with garlic bread or even regular potato chips.
