Today’s recipe uses the Mexican Style Shredded Beef that I posted yesterday, but I also include instructions at the end of the recipe for using ground beef if you prefer. I can’t stress enough to drain your shredded beef well so that your dish isn’t “soupy.” I place the beef on a paper-towel -lined plate and put […]

Mexican Style Shredded Beef
As many of you know, the Sunflower Supper Club is more than a blog — it is also a catering and meal delivery service. Julie and I cook a lot of entrees in a month, and then they are frozen and delivered to our clients in individual portions. We also prepare casseroles and other “meal […]
Hot Fudge Brownie Cake
Wanted: Magazine Club I belong to a book club, as I am sure many of you do, and we are to read one book per month. I always start out the month with grand expectations of reading the book, having plenty of time to mull over the plot and sub-plots, and then maybe even moving onto […]
Beef Stroganoff
I have always loved the flavors in Beef Stroganoff, and it’s a great family dinner that is also special enough for company. Typically, I serve it over buttered egg noodles, but it is also great over rice. Some recipes for Beef Stroganoff don’t call for browning the meat. Trust me, it is an important flavor […]
Cheesy Corn and Bacon Bake
My brother is an awesome cook, the kind of cook I wish I was. He is able to just throw ingredients together and have a dish turn out delicious. Maybe it has to do with the fact that all through high school and college he worked in the restaurant industry. I can’t cook like that, […]
Easy Crescent Roll Breakfast Casserole
This breakfast casserole is a basic in our house, one of about three of my go-to breakfast casseroles. If you need a breakfast dish that is basic and easy, this is it. I love a breakfast dish filled with eggs and veggies, but my kids just want simple. Actually, I am not much of a […]
Braised Coca-Cola Brisket with Parmesan Polenta
I love the kind of recipe that we are sharing with you today. You do about 20 minutes of prep work early in the day, pop your dish in the oven, and then basically forget about it for a few hours. Right before you eat, you throw together an easy side dish, add a salad, […]
Cream of Spinach, Artichoke, and Chicken Soup
I will be the first to admit that I have been on a little bit of a soup kick this fall and winter. I love a big bowl of soup for lunch when the weather turns colder. Since we’ve had a few days of cooler temperatures, I decided to make another pot of soup. As […]
Southwestern Hummus Topped with Black Bean and Corn Salsa Served with Flatbread Wedges
I love homemade hummus. In my opinion, the best hummus recipe belongs to Ina Garten, also known as The Barefoot Contessa. You can find her recipe here. It is a perfect base recipe for adding all kinds of different ingredients. I used her recipe as a base for my Southwestern Hummus. Another favorite dish of mine […]
“Easy as Pie” Pie Crust
I love being in the kitchen, especially when I am baking something. I find it a place of great peacefulness and a very relaxing time for me. Being in the kitchen, I have a lot of time to think. I run the whole spectrum of things to think about – my family, my friends, chocolate, […]
