I love an easy weeknight meal and these Asian Steak Sub Sandwiches are no exception! I love an easy weeknight meal and these Asian Steak Sub Sandwiches are no exception. These sub sandwiches use an Asian inspired marinade and shaved steak that I always buy from Aldi. The brand is called Old Neighborhood Shaved Steak and I have been buying it there for years. What I like most about this shaved steak is that it marinates quickly and cooks even quicker. I am always sure to gave a few packages on hand in the freezer for easy meals like this.…

Continue ReadingWe all love the Instant Pot. It took me awhile to get used to this handy kitchen appliance but now I am Instant Pot addicted. I make tons of recipes in mine including breakfast, lunch and dinners. One of the Instant Pot’s best uses is for making soup. I have always been a big fan of slow simmering soups cooking away on the stove but some days this is just not possible. The Instant Pot makes it possible to have an all day soup recipe done from start to finish in thirty minutes or less. Mr. Tipsy and I love…

Continue ReadingI have yet to meet a taco I didn’t like. What is better than savory meats, fresh veggies, and CHESSE in its own little vessel you can eat? Can’t think of many things can you? I am ALWAYS looking for new ways to enjoy tacos. Recently I was at Aldi, my home away from home, and I saw these fabulous little potatoes called Boomer Gold, Creamer Potatoes. Had to have them….. It was then that I remembered a friend I used to work with whose Mom would send these awesome crispy potato tacos to work with him for us to…

Continue ReadingIt’s rare that I miss a meal, obviously. But one meal I never seem to eat is breakfast. This leaves me hungry and crabby by the time lunch rolls around. Desperate to eat I often choose something that isn’t great for me. I decided to make it a personal goal to try to eat something at least somewhat healthy for me in the morning. This is why I created a breakfast bread that anyone can bake, even people who can’t bake well, like me. This breakfast bread is filled with healthy things and it has minimal refined sugar. I was…

Continue ReadingI wanted to write a blog post that highlighted one of my favorite courses, appetizers. I rounded up 5 of my favorite party favorites to make or even just to have at home for a date night in. I do have to issue a warning, these recipes may make you too popular at parties and you will find yourself overwhelmed with invitations! Don’t say I didn’t warn you! I get asked to attend a lot of parties. I have a big family and I feel like there is always some event that I am invited to that I need a…

Continue ReadingThinking 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. The other day I was in need of a Tough Day Dinner and I remembered some interesting hot dogs I saw at Aldi. They were Bavarian Style Hot Dogs. They looked lighter in color to your typical hot dog and they were also longer and skinnier. I…

Continue ReadingI love a good Chicken Parmesan dish, but frankly it’s A LOT of messy work to make it. Made the traditional way, it’s definitely not a recipe for a busy work week. So what do you do when you’re craving this dish and don’t want the fuss that comes with making it? You make a Cheater Chicken Parmesan and that is this week’s Tipsy Tuesday Tip. I got creative and did a little food research and came up with what I think is a pretty solid representation of the dish. All you need are a few simple ingredients. I got…

Continue ReadingI grew up in a family where we rarely ate out. We love to cook so if we had a craving for something we made it ourselves at home. Once in a great while, an occasion to eat out would come up and we would go to the local “Greek” Restaurant. I grew up on the Southwest side of Chicago, near Midway Airport and these “Greek” places were on every couple of corners. This is not the kind of Greek Restaurant you are thinking of, there was little, if any, actual Greek Food. The restaurants in our neighborhood were just…
