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.

Oh Em Gee, These Are Incredible!

I’m so excited about today’s recipe that I almost can’t sit still! I’m crazy about potatoes, any way you make’m, so I have collected a vast amount of potato recipes over the years. I didn’t think it was possible to top them – you see, I figured I had already found and perfected the best of the best recipes out there. It turns out I was wrong, and I’m actually really happy about that!

I came across this caramelized roasted potatoes recipe on Vegan Food Lover’s channel, and it is TO DIE FOR. Honestly, I could eat these potatoes seven days a week and twice on Sunday! Vegan Food Lover really has found a heavenly combination of ingredients for that marinade – and I didn’t even realize you could marinate potatoes!

I highly recommend checking out all of his recipes; that’s what I’ve been doing for the past couple of days, and I’ve found quite a few favorites already. Let’s just say I’m going to pamper my family with these incredible dishes for the next couple of weeks, and you all should do the same!

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”.

When The Goin’ Gets Tough, These Muffins Will Save The Day

Last week was horrible for me. Actually, I think it was even worse for my kids. I had so many things to remember every day; all kinds of appointment’s, deadlines, stops by the vet, a car that broke down and a church potluck I had promised to organize. I barely got a few hours of sleep each night – and I felt like I was neglecting my children. What kind of a mother serves Oreos for breakfast? I did not feel good about myself at all.

This week has started off a little easier, and this breakfast muffin recipe has a lot to do with that. On Sunday, I made a big batch of these and now I have at least one thing crossed off my never-ending list of things to do; serve a proper breakfast for the kids.

It may not be ideal, if you consider proper breakfast a thing where you sit down and have a chat with your family for an hour, before everyone heads to school and work. But it is definitely ideal for our family, at this time! No-one has to leave home hungry, and these are actually quite a healthy way to start the day.

Quick Tip: Make a double batch, store in a resealable bag in the refrigerator and you can easily take breakfast or lunch with you, any day of the week!

I Want To Eat This Every Day Of The Week!

Do you ever face the same problem I do? You’re having a crazy day with so much to do that you don’t have time to fix a good, healthy lunch (or so you think).

Instead you end up eating something heavy, sugary and overall bad for you. Well, it used to happen to me almost every day, until I made a decision I would spend a moment every night figuring out what to have for lunch the next day. It had to be tasty (duh!), light and healthy – but most of all I really wanted it to be easy to put together. It took me a while to figure out what it was but I finally found the perfect recipe!

This chicken salad won’t take you longer than five minutes to prepare, and you can tweak it any way you like to keep it fresh and interesting. I’ve had this several days in a row, with small adjustments, and it always tastes like a new dish!

So Good, You’ll Want To Make This Twice A Week

Last week I was feeling a little under the weather. Maybe I caught a bug or perhaps I just hadn’t had enough sleep – whatever the reason, I was tired and cranky and I didn’t feel like cooking at all. Don’t you just wish you had a personal chef when that happens? People keep talking about personal trainers but I would definitely rather hire a chef!

Anyway, trying to avoid the fact that I was going to have to cook something eventually, I started searching online for easy recipes. I didn’t really care what it was, as long as I didn’t have to go to the store to get the ingredients, and as long as it only took me a maximum of twenty minutes. Lucky me, it didn’t take long until I stumbled upon this one. Sometimes it amazes me how you always seem to make the most delicious and comforting meals from such simple ingredients.

Quick Tip: Use whole grain brown rice for a healthier option.

Pop this delicious dish in the oven in the morning and you will have a hot and fresh breakfast in just a few minutes. Or save it for brunch after church or as a Christmas morning treat. Either way they will keep asking for it time and time again!

Plain Chicken says:

“It can be made ahead of time and refrigerated until you are ready to pop it in the oven. Christmas morning is hectic enough without having to worry about breakfast.”
