Have you ever had a biscuit so good that your eyes rolled back into your head and your hair curled? These biscuits will do that to you. Did you know you can make biscuits with sweet potatoes? Yep, you sure can! These little orange biscuits pack a punch of flavor that you just can’t deny. Everyone loves these little guys, including the pickiest of eaters. I know I could three of them in one sitting!

My son asked me why his biscuits were orange and I explained to him that the sweet potatoes turned them that color. He looked at me and said, “Well, why would they do that, mama?” LOL Oh, out of the mouths of babes, right? Anyway, give these “orange” sweet potato biscuits a go and see how your family and friends react to them.

I have always loved tomatoes, especially when they can be freshly picked right out of my garden. I love eating them on sandwiches, in soups, and in casseroles. This baked tomato casserole is a wonderful dish to serve your family on a weeknight. It’s flavorful, filled with antioxidants, and has cheese all over it. What’s better than tomatoes covered in melted cheese? A million dollars. Okay, there’s that.

Haha! Anyway, I love this casserole because it’s easy to make and everyone seems to enjoy eating it, except my middle son, who doesn’t like tomatoes. We gave him a hot dog and some broccoli instead. He was fine after that. LOL Being a parent is a big job and although we may want to give our kids what they want all the time, we simply can’t. Who’s with me on that one?

Who here loves all of the flavors of the fall season? I bet almost everyone. I know there have been a lot of complaints about the over-abundance of pumpkin spice treats and goodies. You know what? I don’t care. Pumpkin spice is here to stay, baby. LOL! Seriously, how can you not like pumpkin flavored everything? We only get the pleasure of enjoying pumpkin spice once a year so people need to chill out about it. So, friends, today I present to you Nutella stuffed pumpkin cookie bars.

Whether you are anti-pumpkin spice or a supporter, I think you will truly enjoy these cookie bars. These are simply heavenly and ever so easy to make. I had my youngest son help me mix up the batter and he enjoyed licking the bowl afterward. Okay, so I kinda licked the bowl, too. No shame!

The other day I was talking to my neighbor Sally about the epic series, Game of Thrones. I am in love with this show! I was telling Sal how awesome it is to see a show set in Medieval Europe and all that jazz. Sally looked at me and said, “You do realize that they aren’t on the planet Earth, don’t you?” I was like, “Whaaaaaat!” I seriously never realized that the cast of characters on my all-time favorite TV show wasn’t even on this planet. Sally had to prove all of this to me by doing a Google search before I believed her.

Well, whatever, the show still depicts Medieval type stuff such as garb, language, and food. There are many times that stews have been prepared for the people of Westeros (the name of their planet!) and I always thought they looked really good. So, today we are making Medieval stew. enjoy!

Not even on earth…geez!

Quick Tip: Feel free to add in as many root vegetables as you want to this stew.

I remember the first time I had ever heard of spaghetti squash. My friend and neighbor Sally gave me the rundown on this very versatile vegetable. I was shocked to learn that you could substitute flour pasta for this squash. I wasn’t so sure about all of that until sally made me a pile of the stuff covered in marinara sauce and Parmesan cheese. How many ways are there to say “yum?” So, when dear old Sally brought another spaghetti squash recipe to my attention I was all ears.

You won’t be eating this dish as a spaghetti meal but rather as stuffed squash. You won’t believe how flavorful this all turns out. Yosemite Sam would be so proud of this dish that he just might calm down for a minute to eat with us. Seriously, this recipe rocks and your whole family will roll with it.

The other day I was skimming the internet and my cookbooks for something yummy to make for dinner. My husband has been working so hard at his job and I really wanted to surprise him with some special “man food” when he got home in the evening. That’s when I laid my eyes upon these sweet and spicy drumsticks. I knew instantly that I had to make these for my man. he would LOVE them!

Surprisingly, these drummies weren’t hard to make at all. They only required a few basic ingredients and I already had everything on hand so no special trip to the grocery store! Score! Later that evening, when my mister got home he knew he was in for a treat because he could smell the aroma of these drumsticks before he even opened the door to walk into our happy home.

Hey, everyone! I hope this post finds you all healthy and well. So, today we will be making a blue cheese ribeye steak. Let me tell ya, ladies and gentlemen, this is one amazing recipe. If you are a lover of blue cheese dressing, such as myself, you will be totally smitten by this steak. The sauce that goes with it is heavenly! I smothered my ribeye in this sauce until it was literally drowning. I was half tempted to eat the sauce a sa soup out of a bowl haha!

So, anyway, my husband and kids really liked this recipe. Even my youngest, who is a notoriously picky eater, dug right into his serving and gobbled it up. I served this steak with steamed broccoli and garlic toast. The meal turned out amazingly well.
