Do You Remember Enjoying This As A Kid? I Sure Do!

Did you know that the salisbury steak was invented by a 19th century physician, James Salisbury?

I didn’t either, but apparently he believed beef would solve many physical problems, and suggested this steak should be eaten three times a day. Of course, accompanied with plenty of water to cleanse the digestive system. I’m not as certain of the health benefits of this old-fashioned dish, but I do think it’s scrumptious!

I have to admit, though, that this recipe from Bobbi Meyer is pretty healthy (not to mention delicious!) If you’re using lean ground beef and making sure your ketchup is low-sugar, I guess you could have this even if you’re on a diet!

But that’s not why I decided to give Bobbi’s recipe a try. I made it because it looked really easy, super tasty, and because I think she’s pretty awesome, too! Have you seen all those recipes from her? She’s got plenty, and I intend to try them all, one at a time.

Oh Em Gee, These Are Incredible!

I’m so excited about today’s recipe that I almost can’t sit still! I’m crazy about potatoes, any way you make’m, so I have collected a vast amount of potato recipes over the years. I didn’t think it was possible to top them – you see, I figured I had already found and perfected the best of the best recipes out there. It turns out I was wrong, and I’m actually really happy about that!

I came across this caramelized roasted potatoes recipe on Vegan Food Lover’s channel, and it is TO DIE FOR. Honestly, I could eat these potatoes seven days a week and twice on Sunday! Vegan Food Lover really has found a heavenly combination of ingredients for that marinade – and I didn’t even realize you could marinate potatoes!

I highly recommend checking out all of his recipes; that’s what I’ve been doing for the past couple of days, and I’ve found quite a few favorites already. Let’s just say I’m going to pamper my family with these incredible dishes for the next couple of weeks, and you all should do the same!

This Flavorful Meatloaf Recipe Is As Easy As It Gets

Want to hear something funny? Before we had kids, my husband was a picky eater. Well, he didn’t cringe or complain about anything I cooked, but since he can’t even tell a tiny white lie with a straight face, I always knew when he wasn’t particularly fond of the food I was serving. He especially didn’t like meatloaf, but it took me a long time to figure out that was probably my fault.

You see, as a young wife I did not have that much experience in cooking, and I was using the first recipe I happened to get my hands on. I didn’t think it was out of this world, either, but I had no idea how to make it better. Still, I wanted to serve delicious home cooked meals so I started collecting different kinds of recipes and trying them out, one by one, until I hit the jackpot.

I still haven’t found the perfect recipe for some dishes, but I certainly have found one for meatloaf! This super scrumptious one, from Lynn’s Recipes is what we call Daddy’s Favorite these days – my husband and kids are crazy about it! I’m so happy Lynn shared it in her awesome vlog.

This Rootin’ Tootin’ Chili Is The Real Thing!

When I was a kid, I can remember my mother making a hot, steaming casserole pan full of rich and syrupy baked beans. They were so good to eat! Granted, when dad and grandpa ate this concoction, they often made music together, if you get my drift. LOL! Anyway, haha, these beans will help all the single ladies land their man if they follow this recipe. A way to a man’s heart is through his stomach 🙂

Even though you may have to plug your nose after eating these baked beans, it’s well worth the trouble. These beans are made with sweet and savory ingredients that are perfect for noshing. I enjoy using this recipe for Sunday dinners with the family and during the holidays. The recipe is super simple to follow and makes a hearty batch of beans for your hungry family. Despite the possible side effects, this is going to turn into a family favorite!

Quick Tip: If you like your baked beans to be super sweet, try adding a few tablespoons more of brown sugar.

I am not a fan of meatloaf simply because it always tastes best with the sauce and I’m not a fan of anything that has ketchup on it. I hate anything sweet and sour. It just tastes so wrong to me. Even its supposed aroma doesn’t smell good to me! So while I love meat, meatloaf is something that I never learned to love. The first time I ever tasted it was when Mom was trying the recipe recommended by a friend. She didn’t want to waste the meatloaf so we had to eat it. First taste and I did a form of escape, something that I had never done for food. Let’s just say I was hungry that night. And every night, when there’s meatloaf on the menu.

And then I tasted this. I’m now an adult so I feel more confident in tasting dishes that don’t fit my taste. This was a recipe found by a friend over at Southern Bite. The first question I asked was, “does it still have ketchup as its sauce?”. When she said yes, I was about to retreat. But then I smelled the aroma and decided to give it a try. Surprisingly, even with that hint of sweet and sour, I liked it. It smells so good and the sourness is not as overwhelming to the taste. Meatloaf is still not on my favorite list of food, but this particular recipe just took a place on it. Meatloaf lover or not—you have to try this!

Chicken This Tasty Must Be Illegal!

If there’s one thing I’m grateful for, it’s that I have been fortunate enough to visit Hawaii. It took a lot of planning and saving but it was so worth it! What I’ve noticed later on is that it’s impossible to explain the aloha to someone who hasn’t been there to experience it. I guess you could say it’s every single positive thing you can think of put together, multiplied with love and then divided by the amount of people living on the islands. I’ve never felt so welcome and so at home before, or since, during my travels.

However, there is another thing about Hawaii that I can make people understand, and that’s food. Oh my goodness, it’s so delicious! Hawaiian cuisine, just like the people living there, is a mixture of different cultures and tropical flavors. The ingredients are fresh and tasty, and every meal makes you feel like it’s the best thing you’ve ever had in your entire life. That’s why I had such high hopes for this recipe – and I certainly wasn’t disappointed when I tried it!

Quick Tip: Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your taste.

Sometimes all you have to do to make someone feel better is to give him or her a warm smile. And maybe a slice of pie too just for the heck of it. When we were kids, whenever Mom noticed that we were feeling down, she would always bake a pie for us. Sometimes, it was a meat pie, but most of the time, it was a fruit pie. She said that pies made things a whole lot better at times. Then she would smile and give us both a kiss on the forehead.

Whenever my brother feels lonely and tired, it’s so obvious. It isn’t just the bags under his eyes, it’s also in the way his shoulder hunches and the way he smiles at people. However lately, he has seemed much happier and more energetic. And I know why. I always witness it whenever I visit them. When he comes home, his wife and his daughter always come running towards him to greet him. His wife will cook his favorite meat pie even when she too is tired from work while the little princess takes care of the gestures of care. My niece always gives her father the brightest smile, the strongest embrace, and the sweetest kiss. I can instantly see how these gestures brighten up his day.
