Sunday dinners seem to call for Roast Beef! I love a good Roast Beef dinner as much as the next person. I just don’t like the mess! I decided I wanted to change it up a bit so I created this luscious Slow Cooker Beefy Gravy and Parmesan Noodle dish. It’s magical…it makes it own gravy! It has all the elements a good family Sunday dinner should have with less pots and pans!

Have you ever added pasta to your green leafy salad? I have and I did, and it’s awesome! Then I added marinated sauteed shrimp, croutons, avocado, and a creamy Caesar dressing to create one amazingly delicious salad. It’s more than salad. It’s a meal!
Growing up Dad always made Country Pork Ribs. I’ll admit…back then I wasn’t a huge fan. Give me a slab of “Baby Back Ribs” any day! However, I decided to give them another try when I spotted a package of them on sale. I’m so glad that I did! What did I do that Dad didn’t? Well you’ll just have to keep reading to find out! Trust me…these will knock your socks off!
I love Labor Day weekend. Not only do we have our “crab and shrimp boil”, but it’s also our small town County Fair. Oh, I don’t go to the fair to see the exhibits, animals, blue ribbons, or ride the rides. I proudly go for the food! That’s right friends! It’s all about the food. My favorite…you’re looking at it…Funnel Cake. Why wait? It’s peach season… the perfect time to pair these beauties up with homemade funnel cake, and a heaping scoop of vanilla ice cream! Talk about BLUE RIBBON!!!
I’m kind of a sucker for anything with a European flavor and feel! Especially when it comes to their pastries. I’m sorry…but they have it down. Which is why I was drawn to the rage of Galette’s. Galette’s hail from France and are basically a free form country tart. They are super easy to make and filled with all that fresh fruit filling. This is the PERFECT dessert for your outdoor cook outs! Light, refreshing, and easy!
I love Dutch Oven dinners! However it’s not always easy to dig out the cast iron, coals, and have at it. So I decided to create a much easier stove top version. This Country Hamburger Skillet Dinner will have you tossing the Hamburger Helper for this meal that all the birds at your nest will love.
I’m struggling to get back into the swing of things after our wonderful Vacation to Virginia! Translation…I’ve been ignoring the garden…and a few other things! I went out the other day and found club sized crookneck squash! I hate to waste…so I decided to fry them up like I do my gigantic Zucchini…only I was lazy and didn’t want to stand at the stove to fry them. So…I didn’t. Instead, I came up with this awesome way to oven fry them! They are AMAZING! I’m thinking I’m going to keep ignoring that garden! (wink, wink) Why not when this is the result!
School is starting! Yikes!!! How did that happen so fast? Seriously doesn’t it seem like we were just starting summer vacation? Ugh! Well…with school starting it’s time to get back into our dinner time routines. I know your family budget has been stretched to the limit getting those “little’s” ready for another exciting school year. Fear not…I’m the queen of budget meals and scouring the cupboards for one last meal before payday! One of my favorite dishes is this Classic Tuna Noodle Casserole I created years ago when things were a little tight…like my jeans! (How did they shrink that bad?! lol) This is 100% pure comfort food and a regular at this Nest during the “kid” years!
