Julie and I have a crazy busy week cooking for clients, which we love. It just may not give us as much time as we would like for posting recipes on the blog. However, since this is the week right before the Super Bow,l we definitely wanted to get you a few recipes for any […]

Creamy Grits, Bacon, and Corn Bake
I was born in the South and grew up in Kansas. After Dan and I got married, the Navy took us to Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, then back to Florida, and finally back to our home state of Kansas when Dan went off active duty. Living in all those Southern states and growing up in Kansas, […]
Spaetzle
We raise cattle as part of our livelihood, and a few of them pasture behind our house on a rye field during the winter. One of my “jobs” is to break the ice and fill the tank with water each day. On the way to perform my daily chore, I pass by a pond between […]
Spiced Pear and Cranberry Cobbler
I live with a couple of Boy Scouts, and like most Scouts, they love to make cobbler in a cast iron Dutch oven. This classic camping dessert is made with canned pie filling, a box of yellow cake mix, a can of lemon-lime soda, and pats of butter. It is a popular dessert at campouts, […]
White Cheddar Chipotle Macaroni and Cheese with Caramelized Onions
I am in love with the smoky flavor that Chipotle Chiles add to a dish. I knew I wanted to make a Chipotle Macaroni & Cheese, but wasn’t sure what flavor to pair the Chipotle pepper with. Then it hit me… Caramelized Onions. I think that the hotness of the Chile peppers pairs nicely with the […]
Nanny’s Creamy Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Everyone grew up with a version of this classic comfort food. I have had a love affair with Macaroni & Cheese since I was a child. Who hasn’t? Pasta wrapped in a creamy, comforting, cheesy sauce. How could you go wrong? If you have never made homemade Mac & Cheese, except for the blue box […]
Chicken and Orzo Soup
I posted a soup recipe last week and said in the post to check back in a few days for another soup recipe. Well, the weather changed again on me in those few days, and I didn’t think soup was right for the evening menu! One has to be flexible here in Kansas as we […]
Cheeseburger Macaroni
I know we promised you some more side dish recipes this week, and Julie promised you another soup post, and we promise that will still happen. Actually, we’ll have Julie’s soup post later tomorrow afternoon. We just got a little sidetracked! I needed a quick dinner the other night for my kids and thought I […]
Cheesy Artichoke Rice
This week we have a few side dish recipes to share with you. This first one goes really well with any type of grilled meat or just add a salad and have it as a meatless main dish. I sometimes add some fresh spinach or mushrooms to change it up, but that doesn’t make it […]
Cinnamon Roll Cake
When I first saw this recipe on Pinterest, I knew immediately that I had to make this cake. My children love Cinnamon Rolls or any sticky roll for that matter. What kids don’t? Anyone who knows Julie and me knows that Julie is a wonderful baker, and while I can bake, but it is not something […]
