I rounded up three recipes you need to be making this weekend to help you get…

  • The Best Pork Chops Ever

    August 9, 2018thetipsyhousewife

    The Best Pork Chops Ever This recipe for The best Pork Chops Ever is a fan favorite. The addition of the Oven Fry makes these so simple to prepare and the honey mustard glaze is next level. This was one of those recipes that I made on a whim and it came together perfectly.

  • Tough Day Dinner ~ Scalloped Potato Shepherd’s Pie

    August 8, 2018thetipsyhousewife

    I have to be honest, the first time I made this, it was not a recipe that would fit into the Tough Day Dinner category. I had wanted to make an easy scalloped potato shepherd’s pie but the first version did not work out. I attempted it again and made a few adjustments and it came out perfectly! My family loves a shepherd’s pie, but a traditional one can take some time. I chopped all my veggies for this dish, but to make it easier on yourself you can easily use cut veggies or frozen. You can also make this…

    July 31, 2018thetipsyhousewife

    Thinking of things to make for dinner can sometimes make me want to rip my hair out. I get complaints of being sick of the same old things I make over and over and yet there are times I try something new and no one wants to eat it because it is unfamiliar.

They looked lighter in color to your typical hot dog and they were also longer and skinnier. I…
