Recipes for the busy cook!
Classic southern Tomato gravy is a classic in the south. It is eaten a lot of different ways and I suppose everyone has their own version of it. Basically though, it is very simple. If you have fresh tomatoes, you can certainly use them. I just tend to make this when I get canned diced…
The Best Crockpot Beef Stew You know when you start to see the beef stew recipes that fall is just around the corner! I put a mix of slow cooker, stovetop and oven recipes in the mix this week. And of course, I am sharing a meatless Monday recipe for those of you who requested…

Crock Pot Apple Crisp with Warm Vanilla Sauce Welcome back apple season! I know we tend to run right into pumpkin season as summer is coming to an end. Don’t get me wrong, I love all the pumpkin things but right now we are in apple season and I don’t want to rush right past…
Pumpkin Pie Coffee Cake This time of year just makes me want to get into the kitchen and bake. The weather has cooled off so we don’t mind having the oven on more since it heats up the house just a bit. And I just love those spice smells that come out of my kitchen…

Copycat Starbuck’s Cranberry Loaf Usually once a week, I make a run to Starbuck’s for a Frappuccino and sometimes a sweet snack. I love the little loaf cakes they sell throughout the year. I also like to recreate them at home because, well, they just taste better when you make a whole loaf. And it’s…
The Best Beef Stew So, as we head into fall here in the mountains of Virginia, the weather will be a bit bi-polar. We’re having super hot days followed by cooler ones. This battle will play out for a couple of months before summer gives up the ghost. Then we’ll probably not have much of…

Homemade Italian Cream Cake I’m convinced that the key to a homemade cake coming out tender and moist (sorry, I know a lot of people hate that word but it’s really the only one that applies here) is buttermilk! I use it in my One Bowl Chocolate Cake and decided to use it in this…
Chicken Enchilada Bake I didn’t know if I was going to get this meal plan ready for this week. I haven’t been feeling so great for most of the week. Honestly, I had so many things on my schedule and I didn’t get any of it done. I didn’t even cook dinner for much of…

Back-to-school Y’all, I’ve been having a hard time getting my brain (and my schedule) on back-to-school mode. I feel like I struggle with that balance of coming up with new or different lunch ideas…
Crockpot Potato Soup We’re having some weird weather this week in my part of Virginia. It actually got cooler and the humidity dropped. It got cool enough at nights where you could actually open up the windows. That’s always a good feeling in summer, right? Whenever we have a few cool days like that, I…
