September 7, 2012 by Sam 6 Comments

I have a feeling you will thank me for sharing this recipe with you. As much as I hate to admit this, I am extremely picky about my breakfast casseroles. Those traditional ones that are holiday staples have been something I avoided my whole life…probably mostly because of the mushrooms. I tend to be a [...]

Foodie Friday {30 Minute Yeast Rolls}

August 3, 2012 by Sam 13 Comments

I am a HUGE bread fan…it’s one of my absolute favorite foods ever. I could probably live on bread & butter. So when I found these rolls on Your Home Based Mom’s blog I was in shock and disbelief. I mean, yeast rolls in 30 minutes?!?! No way! In reality it probably takes closer to [...]

Easy Stir-Fry

July 15, 2012 by Sam 1 Comment

Over the years I have had several people mention to me that they are sort of ‘afraid’ of cooking Asian food. I guess it’s one of those things that most people only have at restaurants, and often think the ingredients can be weird or difficult to find. Well, this stir fry is one of my [...]
