I don’t recall ever being served a tuna noodle casserole as a kid.  That doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, just that it never was memorable enough to mark itself in my memory.  My Mom did sometimes serve something that was affectionately nicknamed Tuna Pea Wiggle, but it wasn’t a casserole.

This Tuna Noodle Casserole recipe is one the entire family will love, even the ones that say they don't like tuna noodle casserole!

A few months ago I started to actually crave tuna noodle casserole.  I have no idea why, but the desire didn’t go away, and so I did what anyone does when they’re looking for a recipe or project idea: I visited Pinterest. Continue reading »

It’s a Beef Stew Recipe Rehab with Certified Angus Beef®

I participated in a beef stew recipe campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for the Certified Angus Beef® brand. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

I think it’s cold almost everywhere in the country.  Between all the snow, the cold, and the ice, all my family has been craving are warm, hearty meals.  At the top of the list have been soups, stews, and chilis, with the occasional roast and steak thrown in.

When I reach for a recipe that calls for beef, I always look for the Certified Angus Beef® brand, which is a cut above USDA Prime, Choice and Select grades.  The logo indicates that the beef has met 10 standards for premium quality, including abundant marbling.  Marbling is the little white flecks you see in the meat before cooking; they actually melt during the cooking process, basting the beef from the inside-out.

Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese Recipe, Perfect for Tailgating and Football

For tailgating season as part of a sponsored post for Collective Bias I made one of my favorite tailgating recipes, Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese.

Fall means different things to different people: changing leaves, pumpkin patches, cooler weather.  It means all those things to us, as well, but the biggest thing that fall represents around here is football.  Football is serious business here in Kentucky.  We have lots of college teams that we love to support, plus two or three NFL teams within relative driving distance.

Lots of football means lots of occasions to eat (something else Kentuckians take pretty seriously).  Whether it’s tailgating at the game or having friends and family over to watch the game, there are plenty of dips, lots of chili and casseroles, burgers and ribs, and tons of sweets.  I have a variety of different recipes that I like to rotate through, but one thing I almost always make is my homemade Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese.

Tailgating Recipes: Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese #shop #MealsTogether

Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese is great for tailgating because it combines that great flavor of wings with delicious, comforting mac & cheese all in one dish.  It’s easy to double, triple, half – whatever you need for the size of the crowd you’re serving.  It’s also fairly easy to cook.  The only downside to making it was that it took a little longer to assemble than I would have liked.
