I know there’s a craze known as Taco Tuesday. But to be perfectly honest with you, I don’t see the harm in having a taco everyday. I personally prefer taco salad or street tacos instead of what we’ve come to know as a taco. But just what is a street taco and how is it different? A street taco is usually served open-face and on a soft corn tortilla. You can then roll it up and consume it quickly. Toppings will vary but usually include salsa of some kind, onions, and cilantro. Recently, I had the urge to make my own street tacos at home. Now, while I would love to tell you that I am capable of making everything from scratch.. I take a…

Having trouble with your toddler eating enough vegetables? Try these tasty broccoli and bacon tots.  So far we haven’t had many issues with getting Squeaker to try new foods or making sure that she’s eating a balanced diet. Aside from the fact that she’s a toddler and bound to be picky now and then; I do want to make sure that her nutritional needs are being met. She has yet to turn aside any of the food that we’ve made and she has shown a preference for green vegetables and carrots. Come to think of it, the only thing so far that she won’t eat are sweet potatoes. With her preference for green vegetables and wanting to test out a recipe for the picky pair (T&J),…

I have a fondness for easy recipes, especially ones that I can prepare and eat in less than an hour. Even better when I can sneak in something healthy and I get a triple win when they come out toddler approved. This easy, creamy kielbasa and cauliflower casserole fit the bill on all accounts. I was almost going to call it a mac and cheese, but I wasn’t sure on semantics. Even though I’m fairly certain there’s no hard set rule that a mac and cheese needs to have elbow macaroni noodles. Of course, this isn’t a homemade sauce either, so I think that’s other reason I was hesitant to classify it in the homemade mac and cheese realm. Whatever the case? This is delicious….

Have you ever had a cheesesteak sandwich? Well, if we’re going to get technical, perhaps I should call it a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich, hmm? So have you ever had one? It’s one of my most favorite sandwiches, ever. I mean, how can I not love it? Steak, melted cheesy goodness… smothered in sauteed onions and peppers. Yum.  I had my first cheesesteak sandwich from the Cheesesteak Shop in Berkeley. And then, when my mom and I were in Philadelphia some years ago, I had a cheesesteak in Philadelphia. Regardless of where I’ve gotten it from, it’s always been one of my favorite sandwiches. So why not try it in some other form like a casserole? Enter the easy cheesesteak inspired casserole! Featuring most of…

I love bacon and I will put it in almost everything that I cook. I’ve put it in spinach and artichoke dip and it was delicious. I put it in my stuffed meatballs, and it is delicious. Add it in to shredded chicken risotto? Again, it is delicious. There really isn’t a lot that I won’t put bacon in, so something like spaghetti carbonara is right up my alley. Granted, it’s usually made with pancetta and not bacon, but it tastes pretty similar right? So when I got inspired to twist up a carbonara recipe, I kept the bacon but put in two non-traditional ingredients. To make it more of a filling, all in one, dish; I ended up with a chicken and spinach carbonara….

Slow Cooker Chili

It’s definitely the time of the year to start breaking out the slow cooker (or crock pot, if that’s what you prefer) and it’s also the time of year to look for chili recipes. For me, I love finding recipes that are easy to prepare and get going throughout the day. Recipes that don’t involve too much preparation are my favorite. And it’s even better when those recipes are toddler approved because then I don’t have to worry too much about preparing something else for Squeaker. Recently, I tried my hand at a slow cooker chili and it did come out pretty tasty if I do say so myself. It starts with your choice of meat. We used ground beef, but you can use ground…
