We Cracked The Code! This Is The Most Amazing Dish You Can Serve Over The Holidays

I had an awesome roast beef recipe that I used to make for Sunday supper, once a month. It was a recipe my aunt gave me years ago; she said she had found it in an old cook book and thought it was scrumptious. And it really was – I thought it was the best EVER and there’s no way anything could ever top that one. But then our neighbors invited us over for dinner.

Kristen, my neighbor, had made roast beef with baked potatoes and as soon as we stepped in, the aromas nearly swept me off my feet. I asked her if she had a family recipe for it but she kind of just shrugged and said; “No, I just found this one online.”

The meal was out-of-this-world amazing and I’m not even ashamed to say I forced her back to her computer, to check where the recipe was from. She found it over at Yummy Mummy Club and, of course, I immediately saved it in my stash of favorites when I got back home.

It’s About Time You Gave This Recipe A Try!

Boy, am I looking forward to cooking all kinds of festive meals during the holidays! We all really enjoy the fancy dishes, but I have to admit last year I was starting to dream about good old comfort food that wouldn’t take hours to make.

That’s why this year I am going to include this garlic bacon mac and cheese in the menu. It is essentially macaroni and cheese with a savory upgrade, perfectly festive enough for any occasion. And it isn’t difficult at all to make!

You won’t need any special ingredients here, nothing too fancy – and the simple ingredients combine to make a really hearty dish. However, there is something besides garlic and bacon that really takes this to the next level! As a side dish, this  would go nicely with a wide range of chicken or pork recipes, or you can just serve a larger portion with a side salad and have a really quick and easy meal to warm you up on a cold midweek night.

If You’re On A Diet You May Want To Skip This AMAZING Chicken Recipe

Chicken is a staple meat in my household. My family loves eating it and I love preparing it. With being such a versatile meat, chicken can be incorporated into a variety of recipes.

From baked chicken to chicken casseroles, you can use it in just about anything.  I was just about to prepare a chicken slow cooker meal the other day when I came across this mouthwatering recipe for butter cream chicken over at The Cooking Actress. Plans shifted at that point. I put my trusty slow cooker away for another day and set out to prepare the masterpiece that I saw before me.

Now, if you are on a diet or trying to fit into a pair of pants for a special occasion, you may want to skip over this recipe for now. It’s loaded with fat and calories but they are the good kind! Anyway, all joking aside, this chicken dish is a very fat laden meal. However, it tastes dang delicious and you won’t be sorry that you made it. My husband and kids love this stuff. And guess what? It isn’t all that hard to make! I know you’ll have fun with this one, and don’t forget the napkins!

A Weeknight Meal Or A Special Occasion – You’ll Want To Have This Every Day Of The Week

Want to hear something funny? Until about three weeks ago, I had never even heard of cassoulet. If it doesn’t ring a bell for you, either, no need to worry. It’s only the best freakin’ meal ever! I am not kidding, it really is fabulous. I’m forever grateful to my friend for letting me know this awesome dish exists!

A cassoulet is a traditional French dish that contains beans and at least one kind of meat. You won’t be able to make it in 30 minutes, so if you’re looking for a super fast meal, you may want to save this recipe for later. But I guarantee; when you make this, it’s a meal you’ll never forget!

This recipe from Cooking On The Weekends has quickly become my favorite. I’ve already made it twice; once for my family and another time for friends that were staying overnight. Everyone loved it!

Put Your Slow Cooker To Good Use And Make The BEST Soup Of The Season

Here’s the greatest chicken soup recipe on the face of the Earth, if you ask me! It’s not your usual chicken noodle soup, quickly made of chicken strips and frozen veggies. There’s nothing wrong with those, of course, but once you’ve tried this you know there is no going back to your old recipe!

The secret is to use fresh vegetables, a whole chicken, and to let everything cook together slowly in your crock pot. You might think it takes a lot of work to make this but you’re wrong. After you’ve chopped the veggies and seasoned the chicken, you can literally forget the whole thing until it’s dinnertime!

I often put this together in the morning before leaving for work and when I return, the whole house smells amazing! How all the flavors come together in the slow cooker is something unbelievable – and you know, this is one of those dishes that only gets better after a day or two in the fridge! This really is the comfort food of all comfort foods.

These Aren’t Your Grandma’s Cabbage Rolls – Or Are They?

Raise your hand if you’re a fan of cabbage! It’s one of my favorite ingredients in the world, which is kind of a big deal since I didn’t used to like it at all, as a kid. I would go into the kitchen and tell my mother the whole house smelled awful, whenever she was making cabbage soup or any cabbage dish, really. Poor Mom – I was definitely a picky eater when I was little!

But I think I was about 10 when grandma was staying over at our house and she wanted to cook dinner for all of us. She made her famous cabbage rolls and I just didn’t have the heart to tell her I don’t like cabbage. It’s weird, isn’t it? I had no problem at all telling my mother I hated it, but when it comes to grandmas I guess we all act a little differently!

Anyway, I’m really glad I decided to keep my mouth shut because it meant I had to give those cabbage rolls a try. And they were ridiculous. I mean that in the best possible way! They were so tasty I kept eating until grandma laughed and said I was probably going to explode if I had one more.

I Love It, You’ll Love It, Everyone Loves It!

I am a laid back, countryside kind of girl at heart, but occasionally I love to get a feel for “the city life”. I’m so used to small town living that whenever I visit a bigger place, I always find something new and fascinating. All the cafes, the traffic, the amount of people – I like to just sit down and watch everyone and everything go by. And that’s exactly what I was doing when I had my first ever slice of New York style white pizza.

Certain foods and flavors always give me a flashback, and this type of pizza is one of them. Whenever I make this at home, I remember that moment in the city – I even remember some of the people I saw crossing the street, having an argument or kissing each other goodbye.

These days I like this white pizza even better than any of your regular ones, with tomato sauce. In my opinion, this is a lot easier to make, too! It doesn’t take long to whip up one (or two, or three) of these and have a great dinner with your family or friends.
