Confessions…This Nest is not loaded with traditional spaghetti lovers! (Including the head “chick”.) It’s true…I’m not a big lover of spaghetti. Oh, I made it while the kids were growing up and my husband loves it…but the rest of us? Eh! So I decided to go another direction…and let’s just say…everyone LOVED it!
Beef
I was never a huge fan of Tamales. Then I tasted my friends Tamales! Whoa..Game changer! I begged her to teach me how to make them! She took pity on me. Thank heavens! Now they’re a yearly tradition at this Nest. Yes there’s a little bit of prep and work to them, but if I can make them…YOU can make them!
Hawaiian Haystacks have always been a favorite at this Nest. However, the other day I was craving Mexican and got to thinking…What if you changed out the steamed rice for Spanish rice…and involved salsa and avocados! Sounded like a FANTASTIC idea to me…and it was!!!
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!
Easy and delicious smoke-flavored pulled pork is piled high on top of a sandwich bun with BBQ sauce and sweet classic cole slaw. It’s an AMAZING Pulled Pork Sandwich with Classic Cole Slaw!
I love creating new recipes using leftovers. I hate waste…especially when it comes to food. I read some where recently that the cost of groceries has double over the last few years. I don’t think any of us can afford to throw good food away! So when we had some leftover steak a few weeks ago, I created this elegant and delicious creamy mushroom sauce with grilled steak and cheese filled tortellini. It’s Ah-mazing! A must try! I drool just thinking about it…course that could be an old age thing too! lol
I’ve got the perfect burger for your Memorial Day Weekend, or for that matter…any outdoor summer BBQ you’ve got planned! What’s better than a bacon cheeseburger? An “Inside Out” Bacon Cheeseburger! That’s right…let’s take delicious lean ground beef and stuff it with cheddar cheese and bits of crispy bacon? Then let’s load that beauty with all our favorite toppings…ripe tomatoes, green leave lettuce, red onion, pickles, and creamy avocado. I think it’s the perfect way to say “Hi Summer! Let’s get this party started!” It’s totally “Smoosh” worthy! (If you don’t know what “Smoosh” worthy is…they hot dog table is over there…lol!)
So have you heard? Mission Tortillas is making Street Taco Corn Tortillas!!! I absolutely LOVE Street Tacos. What’s not to love about a Mini Taco that fits in the palm of your hand and can be eaten in three to four bites? If that isn’t enough…this recipe is one of the BEST Street Tacos EVER! My family went NUTS over these tiny tacos! They are jammed packed full of flavor and are sure to be a new favorite at your Nest!
If you’re a fan of Chipotle Mexican Grill you will LOVE this recipe for Easy Slow Cooker Beef Barbacoa! I’ve personally never been to a Chipotle Mexican Grill. (I know…Gasp!) However… my kids informed me this tastes JUST like their Beef Barbacoa. It’s also the perfect “grab and go” meal when you’re heading out to the soccer fields or soft ball games. I know how busy spring time is for the Moms of budding athletes. This is a great easy recipe for your busy week ahead!
This tasty Brown Sugar Meatloaf flavored lightly with ginger, has a sweet brown sugar and ketchup glaze. It’s the BEST meatloaf EVER!
