Typical burgers with a french onion soup twist! French onion mix added to the burger, and topped with a heap of caramelized onions and melty gooey mozzarella cheese, all on a toasty potato bun! – – These burgers are a definite must make again! Considering there are only a few more steps than making a plain burger, they were amazingly delicious! Now I use this pre-boxed lipton french onion soup mix (affiliate link), so it’s not entire “from scratch”. But it definitely saves some work, although if you’re a “from scratch” fan, I guarantee you can find a copycat recipe on pinterest!…

Game day sliders, perfect to feed a crowd but with a gourmet twist! Ground beef sliders, mixed with onions and topped with bacon and blue cheese. You can even make these ahead and then pop into the oven to toast them up before serving! – – It’s been a crazy week! Last weekend I got engaged! Engaged! Here’s a picture of the ring. I drew Tyler a ring too, so he wouldn’t feel left out. But as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a crazy week! So I’m catching up on some old posts, and I’m sure I’ll go more…

Nikuman (肉饅), literally “steamed bun with meat filling”. It’s a savory pork filling tossed with cabbage, scallions, soy sauce, and seasonings wrapped in a fluffy steamed bun! – – I’m going on an Asian kick! I made it to the asian grocery store this weekend, and have many yummy things coming your way! Check out the updated photos for pad see ew, sweet stir fried noodles tossed with chicken, bean sprouts, and baby bok choy! But these nikuman are pretty amazing, if I do say so myself. They really hit the spot for me this weekend! Tasty, savory, and fluffy–all…

For all of you still here, I’ll bet you’re asking: what is in a steak decadence sandwich??? Well, I’m here to answer that great question! It’s French bread cheesy cheddar garlic bread, stuffed with…

Other than the Apple French Toast, and the Egg Casserole that my friends brought to our New Year’s Eve party, I think these brunch burger bombs were the star of the show! They came about as I was trying to think of the menu, and wanted something a little more “lunchy” to brunch. The result? Little pillows of pilsbury biscuit dough stuffed with maple bacon jam, cheese and burger sliders! Now normally for a brunch burger I’d say that it’d need to have at least some sort of egg in it, but (1) we were having egg casserole separately already,…

What is soup without a sandwich? Or a sandwich without soup? Inconthevable! (Anyone? Princess Bride, yo.) So of course I had to give you a bonus weekend post for all that yummy broccoli cheddar soup you’re planning to make, right? We’ve had some apples lying about, and somehow pairing them with ham sounded good. I’m not sure why, but I can attest that it was mighty delicious. And super easy to make. I decided to top mine with tomatoes, which I really enjoyed as well, but I leave them off for Tyler since he pretty much hates them in their entirety.…

This recipe for Beef Kofta is another hello fresh recipe. I got another coupon in my e-mail, and with my life being ever-crazy, I figured it would be nice to skip the grocery shopping and have meals already planned! So far I’ve tried hello fresh and blue apron by way of the food services. I’ll sum up: both are good and convenient. A little expensive for my taste, except when I get coupons in which case it’s a wonderful deal. If you want to read more in-depth, check out my detailed comparison post of both: huevos rancheros quesadillas. This recipe kinda followed the pattern with…

Another of my Pinterest finds perfect for a party! (Check out the original recipe from Real Housemoms, or follow me on pinterest!) This is a great make ahead recipe, full of flavor and a little more hearty than some of the snackage that goes on for a party. This was on the menu along with my pull apart bread (look for a post on wednesday) for my 25th birthday bash! I will definitely say this is on my “to-make-again” list. Fairly simple to make, and easy to make ahead and cover up before the party, then pop into the oven!…

Happy Labor Day! Did you think I was gonna leave you hanging? Nope, this time I’m posting a down and dirty meal that you can enjoy when you’re crunched for time, and kids are sure to love because there are tater tots! This recipe I learned from one of my coworkers–from Minnesota! We were really confused at lunch one day as to what he was eating, and apparently this is a pretty common staple up there where as I (being a Yankee originally) had never in my life heard of it. So that prompted a discussion of what is tater…
