Sweet and Sour Casserole

You know those recipes you try on a whim — maybe because you’ve got leftover rice, a lone green pepper in the crisper, and half a pound of ground beef staring at you from the fridge — and then, somehow, they become family favorites? That’s what happened with this Sweet and Sour Casserole at our house. Honestly, I didn’t expect much the first time I made it. Sweet and sour? In a casserole? With rice and beef? It sounded a little… weird. But let me tell you — it just works. It’s tangy, savory, a little sweet (but not in …

Full Moon Casserole

Now listen. I don’t know exactly why it’s called Full Moon Casserole — maybe because it’s best eaten under the stars with people you love, or maybe it’s just what Aunt Jean called it back when she made it for church socials. Either way, when I make this, I picture a full moon hanging low outside the window, the sound of cicadas buzzing, and a quiet evening where the house smells like melted cheddar and buttery croutons. You know… the good stuff. Why You’ll Be Making This Again and Again Uses simple veggies you probably already have Creamy, cheesy, and …

Oh, we’re officially in dream snack territory. My family has a long-standing love affair with Mexican food (Tex-Mex Tuesday is a real thing in our house), and crispy taquitos straight from the air fryer are always a runaway favorite—warm, crunchy, cheesy, and full of that signature craveable goodness. They’re basically happiness wrapped up in a tortilla. These easy Air Fryer Taquitos have become my go-to for game night appetizers, quick …

The Shrimp That Made My Husband Miss His Meeting

Let me tell y’all something — this shrimp is trouble. Not the bad kind, but the can’t-stop-eating-it, forgot-what-I-was-supposed-to-be-doing kind. I made this batch of dynamite shrimp last Tuesday “just to test it,” and I kid you not, my husband came into the kitchen, grabbed one off the plate, and stood there chewing in silence with this look in his eyes like what just happened? Next thing I know, he’s calling into his Zoom meeting five minutes late with sauce still on his chin. So yes — this shrimp is a little dangerous. And no, I don’t feel bad about it. …

This isn’t just any pasta sauce. It’s the soul-soothing, nap-inducing, make-everyone-happy kind of comfort food that my family requests on chilly Sundays or whenever we need a little edible hug.

BBQ Ranch Chicken Casserole

It Ain’t Fancy — But It Sure Is Good This casserole was born out of one of those clean-out-the-fridge nights — you know the ones.

Tossed in some ranch and BBQ sauce on a whim and, honey… we hit gold. The flavor? Think cheesy chicken bacon ranch meets a summer BBQ — but without having to fire up the grill or wash a mountain of dishes. Why This Recipe Deserves a Permanent Spot in Your …
