I have been into adding lots of flavor into my family's meals lately! My favorite go-to herbs and flavors have been cilantro, basil and chipotle! I love how herbs and spices can change a so-so meal to something fabulous! (I have been growing my own herbs -- visit next week to see my DIY herb garden!) I am the lucky co-host of the Motivation Monday and the Craft Frenzy Friday linky parties. As a co-host, I get to see all the wonderful ideas from bloggers across the country!

Chicken Enchilada Casserole / Enter to Win $5,000
I just love casseroles – who wouldn’t? I am a big fan of cheese (which most casseroles include), and I adore the ease of making a casserole for dinner. All I have to do is assemble the ingredients, add them to my casserole dish, place it in the oven, and I am done! It’s also great that I can get a casserole started for dinner while my kids are in school. Easy Weeknight Dinner My kids like Mexican food like tacos, fajitas and enchiladas, so recently, I made them a chicken enchilada casserole for dinner. The meal is a cinch to prepare, and the best part about it is that the dish can be Continue reading...
Spice Up Your Pot Roast
I've been wanting to spice up my pot roast for a while now. I make a pot roast at least twice a month -- it is easy, tasty and my family loves it. I like to make it in the slow cooker, since all I have to do is throw the ingredients in, turn on the slow cooker, and I have a delicious meal ready for my family a few hours later! But, I've been a bit disappointed with how bland my pot roasts have been. My husband tends to like spicer foods, and following in their daddy's shoes, my kids tend to like more flavorful foods, too. So, I've been looking for new pot roast recipes, but most have very Continue reading...
My New Pampered Chef Bar Pan
As I mentioned a while back, I had a Pampered Chef party recently. It was wonderful having some friends over for the party, and now I have been having fun trying out my new products. Last night, I tried out my new Pampered Chef Medium Bar Pan. The pan normally retails for $25, but I got it for 60% off as a host benefit from my Pampered Chef consultant, Rose Cardone Slack. I bought the pan because I have very little to cook on in the oven. I have a few old cookie pans that I usually cover with foil when I cook meat in the oven. I figure that I can use the Pampered Chef bar pan, which is made Continue reading...
