I've sung the praises of the flat iron steak before, and I'll do it again. When you're cooking on a budget and you've got a Mr. Meat and Potatoes on your hands, steak needs to figure into the equation on the regular. Unfortunately, our budget does not accommodate regular ribeyes, ...
I am the queen of the cooking rut. I find something I dig, and I make it like nine times in a 16 day period. Recently, it was roast beef. I've decided that it's easy to sear a roast and slap it in the oven for an hour or so ...
With my husband's birthday and Valentine's Day falling so close together, I was on a food bender last week, making all of his favorite things back to back. The result was a refrigerator full of excellent leftovers that I adore in their most direct (read: repeat of last night's dinner) ...
My husband's birthday falls just a few days after Valentine's Day, which means that he gets a full week of "Meals of Love" surrounding the two holidays. I mean, I like to claim a whole birthday *month* when it's my turn, so at least I can make him a few ...
I'm not going to lie. This was not the most beautiful meal I ever made. But it DOES NOT MATTER because it was epically delicious. So maybe you don't serve this to your new in-laws whom you want to impress with your Martha Stewart perfect skills. You serve this to ...
Everyone thinks their mama's meatloaf is the best. Today, I am here to say that they are incorrect. This meatloaf, my friends, is the best. I am not kidding. If you don't think you like meatloaf, try this. I need you to understand that I rarely claim to have a ...
Barbecue and beer. Beer and Barbecue. The summer staples. Remember summer? Wasn't that awesome? My husband, Mr. Meat and Potatoes, works for O'Malley Beverage, where he peddles, well, beer. And he just so happens to also like to give a grill or smoker a run for its money, so around ...
My baby, Lily Kate, turned 1 this past weekend. *Sob.* I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm delighted she survived that first year with us as parents and she's healthy and robust. But, like every parent who ever lived, I feel it's going too fast. She's *almost* not a baby ...
This is what I love. It's Sunday night, the busy weekend has concluded, the kids are bathed, the baby is sleeping, it's 7:30 and I'm already in my jammies. I sit down to analyze my week's calendar, realize it's crazier than usual, and commence panicking about food. Because I only ...
That SJ has done it again. Seriously, you guys, if you aren't friends with this woman, seek her out immediately and make her your new BFF. Not only is she the sort of "sure we can do that," "up for anything," "make it happen" kind of person I love to ...
