Slow Cooker Beef Goulash with Bell Peppers and Mushrooms

3209 Views

This is what comfort food looks like in my house—messy, hearty, and made with love. The Kind of Dinner That Feels Like a Hug I’ll tell you something—there’s just something about the smell of beef and tomatoes slow-cooking all day that takes me straight back to my childhood kitchen. You know the one. A little linoleum on the floor, a ticking clock on the wall, and a pot of something bubbling away while the weather outside did its Midwestern thing (snow, sleet, maybe both). My mom didn’t fuss with complicated meals—she fed five of us on a budget and with …

From Greasy to Gorgeous: Your Kitchen Cabinets Deserve This Glow-Up

7899 Views

Look, I’m not here to judge. Life happens, dinners get made, cookies get burned, and cabinets… well, they quietly collect a thin coat of mystery goo. You know the kind—tacky, kind of greasy, a little dusty, and clinging to your cabinet doors like it pays rent. If your cabinets haven’t had a proper cleaning since the last time you reorganized your spice rack (and let’s be real, that was probably pre-pandemic), don’t worry. You’re not alone. And you’re not doomed to live with sticky cupboards forever. Let’s get those babies cleaned up, shall we? So… What Is That Stuff, Anyway? …

Old-Fashioned Beef Spaghetti Pie

5225 Views

A cozy little dish with a big personality (and even bigger flavor) Okay, let’s talk comfort food. Not the “I’ll just heat up a frozen meal and call it a night” kind — I mean the real deal. The kind that makes the kitchen smell like home and brings everybody wandering in asking, “What’s for dinner?” even though they already know just by the smell. This spaghetti pie? She’s been around the block. She’s not flashy, not trendy, not trying to be the next viral TikTok recipe — and I love her for that. She’s reliable. Familiar. A little cheesy …

The Hamburger Casserole That Saved Tuesday Nights

There are a few meals that just stick with you — not because they’re fancy or complicated, but because they worked. They filled your belly and warmed your heart. For me, Hamburger Casserole is one of those meals. My mom used to make it on those hectic weeknights when dinner needed to happen fast, and nobody had the energy to argue over it. You know those nights, right? When you’re digging through the fridge with one sock on, trying to remember what meat you thawed? Mom’s casserole always came through — no drama, no fuss. Just simple ingredients, warm cheesy …

There are just some meals that feel like home — warm, familiar, and full of good memories. Around here in the rural South, we don’t take supper lightly. It’s not just about feeding bellies — it’s about feeding hearts too. This baked chicken ricotta meatball dish? Oh honey, it’s one of those feel-good meals that folks talk about long after the dishes are done. You know the kind of dinner where everyone keeps sneaking second helpings and someone always says, “Mmm, you’ve gotta make this again”? Yep. That’s this one. I can’t even count the number of times I’ve made …

Slow Cooker Cheesy Mozzarella Chicken

2155 Views

There’s a certain kind of tired that only a slow cooker can fix. You know what I mean? That bone-deep, I-forgot-to-defrost-the-chicken-again kind of tired. The kind where dinner feels like one more mountain to climb… except you’re already in your slippers. That’s when this recipe — this warm, cheesy, slow cooker hug of a dinner — becomes your best friend. I first threw this together on a random Wednesday while cleaning out the fridge. Had a half jar of marinara, some lonely chicken breasts, and a block of mozzarella that was begging to be used before it got weird. I …

So… What’s That Tiny Side of the Cheese Grater Really For?

4183 Views

You know that feeling when you’ve been using something forever—like, forever ever—and then one day you realize you’ve been missing half the point? That was me and my box grater. There I was, grating cheddar for tacos like I had a clue, when my cousin leans over and says, “You ever use this side?” She pointed to the one with the teeny-tiny holes—the side I usually just scraped my knuckles on by accident. I told her, “That? I thought that was there to make me feel bad about myself.” But guess what? That little mystery panel on the grater isn’t …

Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Alfredo Ravioli Bake

2011 Views

The kind of cozy dinner that makes people linger at the table a little longer. This isn’t some five-star fancy dish with truffle shavings and handmade pasta from scratch. It’s not supposed to be. This is simple, cheesy, no-fuss comfort food, made with things you probably already have in your fridge or freezer. And it hits every single time. I first threw this together on one of those days where everything felt like too much — school drop-off ran late, laundry piled high, and my “what’s for dinner” inspiration tank was bone dry. But I had some frozen ravioli, leftover …

You know what’s funny? Some days I feel like my pantry is more reliable than my cell phone battery. When the power’s out or the weather’s nasty — or when I just don’t feel like trekking to the store — that little stockpile of basics keeps me well-fed and sane. Keeping a stash of foods that last years — or even decades — is one of those old-school tricks that’s come back around.

Some nights, dinner just needs to cook itself — can I get an amen? Back when my kids were teens, evenings were a blur of homework, ball games, and last-minute grocery runs (always for milk, always). Recipes like this 3-Ingredient Creamy Italian Chicken saved my sanity more than once. I love how this dish takes me straight back to those busy weeknights — the house smelling like garlic and herbs, the slow cooker doing all the work while I caught my breath (and maybe a rerun of Jeopardy!).
