Dana and I love meatloaf. We have it at least once a month. However, having a food blog makes it hard to repeat recipes. So we don’t have it as much as we would like. So I started to think about ways I could change the recipe to make it new and blog-able. So I [...]
Back in the day I used to work at a go-kart track that was situated right next to Ponderosa Steak House. One of my favorite lunch time meals was Sirloin Tips. I haven’t thought of that for a while until I went to the store and saw that top sirloin steaks were on sale. So [...]

Dana and I have been really busy lately, so I thought it was time to use technology to our advantage. Yep, a slow cooker. I guess it is not on the cutting edge of technology, but it does allow us to be hands off and still end up with a great meal. This recipe [...]

I am a huge fan of Quiche. The other night I was clueless as to what to make for dinner. I had a bunch of eggs lying around and figured a Quiche would be perfect. Add a little bacon and Swiss and this was going to be a great meal. I used the basic recipe [...]
