Just Like Grandma Used To Make Food Memories of Grandma I grew up blessed to live near my grandparents. My Grandma lived a half a block away from me growing up and this was a dinner she made for us often. I used to go to her house on Wednesday nights and I was always so excited to get there and see that this is what she was serving. It is amazing that my Grandma always managed to put a nice dinner on the table every single night when she worked a very busy job at City Hall in Chicago.…

This soup is a perfect soup for this transitional time. For one, it’s easy to make taking less than an hour.

The ready made and ready to cook sauces and noodles make prep and cook time a breeze while providing the great taste of scratch sauces and fresh ingredients. I get my…

I came across KA-Me products when I was perusing the ethnic food aisle at my local grocery store. I loved the ease and convenience of the products as well as the amazing flavors and quality of the products.

Continue ReadingEuropean Inspired I was inspired to make this dish after trying a Bohemian dish call Svickova. I tried Svickova in a Czech/Slovak restaurant on the South side of Chicago and it was fantastic. It had that all day cooked flavor, the meat was so tender and the gravy rich and creamy. It was served over Czech Bread Dumplings which if you’re not familiar are tender bites of bread that soak in all the meat and gravy juices without getting soggy. They create the perfect bite. I immediate came home and googled recipes to make this dish at home and was…

I know that some of you think that I make it look easy, but the truth of the matter is, some days are just hard. When I transitioned into working from home I never imagined that it would be as difficult to stay focused throughout the day as it has been.

Continue ReadingI had an idea for this recipe when my Mister asked me to make Eggs Benedict. After making it for him I started to think about an Easy Eggs Benedict Casserole that I could make ahead of time and throw in the oven when I am enjoying my coffee.

All opinions are mine alone. #GreatTeamEasyClean I have been spending a lot of time up north in Michigan this Summer at our second home. This has been great for me and the dogs, but hard on Mister Tipsy because he has to stay back in Chicago and work. Having a live in recipe blogger has spoiled him with delicious daily meals prepared for him. Since I have been gone, he has had to learn to cook for himself. When I am home, I teach him some of the easy…
