When I was growing up, there were certain foods that my dad refused to eat. Eggplant was high on that list. So high, in fact, that my mom called this Cajun Eggplant Rice Dressing, “Dirty Rice” instead. My dad loved my mom’s dirty rice. She had two dirty rice recipes. One recipe was the eggplant […]
I asked my readers what category of recipes you prefer for me to share. Overwhelmingly, you requested Slow Cooker recipes. The second most requested category was Breakfast Casseroles. This Spinach Mushroom Breakfast Casserole recipe delivers on both fronts since it is both. I hope to deliver a lot more breakfast casseroles in the future, but […]
Laissez les bons temps rouler! Let the good times roll! I was born deep in south Louisiana to parents who were born deep in south Louisiana. My Louisiana roots run deep, and I love nothing more than a good Cajun/creole dish like this Cajun Boiled Shrimp. Affiliate links are included. I might make a small […]
My oldest son loves a good pasta and cheese sauce. He could probably live on Mac & Cheese or Fettuccine with Alfredo Sauce every other day and not get bored. This same son prefers rather blander tasting foods. If I weren’t cooking for him, I would add some red pepper flakes to give it a […]
I had so much fun recreating Dee’s Pecan Pie Muffins last month that I decided to participate in November’s Recipe Swap. We are each selected to visit another blog, recreate one of their recipes, photograph it, and blog it with links back. This month, I was randomly selected to choose a recipe from Simply Made […]

This group of slow cooker side dishes are no exception. Affiliate links are included. I might make a […]
Every Thanksgiving, I am assigned to make a Sweet Potato Casserole by my mother. Every Thanksgiving, I use a different recipe or no recipe at all, and my mother raves about how good my sweet potato casserole always is. I am very sincere that I have never made the same casserole twice. I am convinced […]
Creamed Spinach is one of my mother’s favorite side dishes so I just knew that I had to find an easy, but still delicious, recipe for family get-togethers and gatherings. This creamed spinach recipe is good enough to accompany any holiday meal while still being easy enough for a hectic weeknight dinner. Affiliate links are […]
We just love yams and sweet potatoes! They are a lovely side dish to most meals, but this week, we ate this delectable yam casserole with Chicken and Stuffing also cooked in the slow cooker. I just spent a few minutes tossing everything into the slow cooker, and dinner was waiting on me by evening. […]
This garlic stuffed baked chicken is the reason my kids refuse to eat rotisserie chicken. Rotisserie chicken just doesn’t compare to the garlicky goodness of this oven baked chicken.
