When I hear someone is a “meat and potatoes” kind of person, I first think of beef. Whether it’s a hearty stew or pot roast, these recipes are the beefiest!
Usually I don’t cook dishes using mixes of gravy or seasonings because of the sodium count. However, my friend Patsy was raving about this dish as she has several “picky eaters” in her home. Much to her surprised, they all loved this dish. I admit, I was skeptical, but my family enjoyed it as well. […]
I often browse through food magazines and cut out recipes I want to try. This is one of those recipes. I don’t know which magazine it came from, but it was originally for chicken and broccoli. I tweaked the recipe and this is the end result. This dish cooks quickly and is quite tasty. You […]
Prime rib has always been one of my favorites, yet I myself never cooked on. Well, I was gifted a 6 pound roast, so I had to find a recipe. Wow, there were so many methods on the web…from slow cooking, to quick cooking. So I asked my friend Marsha how she prepared hers, as […]

While visiting my local casino, I sat next to a pleasant lady and started to chat. After a while, we got on the subject of food and I mentioned my website to her. She asked where I get all my recipes from and I explained how some are old family recipes, some are from friends […]
When I was a youngster, we always had some sort of roast on Sundays. One of my very favorites was pot roast, served with mashed taters smothered in gravy along with a veggie. I don’t recall whether or not my Mom used this particular recipe, but it’s been one of my family’s favorites since the […]
Years ago, I always cooked my corned beef in the oven in a covered roaster. Then the slow cookers came about and I switched to that method. I was never satisfied with the outcome. Either the meat was a little tough or it fell apart…it was never “just right.” Then I bought an Instant Pot […]
Picadillo, a dish found in central Mexico, is traditionally served on flour tortillas. This dish reminds me of tacos with potatoes. But, it’s much more versatile, as you can make a dough and use this meat mixture as an Empanada. In addition, if you should have any leftovers, you can make breakfast burritos in the […]
