Hearty Taco Pie for a billion

One day last year at TJ Maxx (my favorite store), I came upon this absolutely BEAUTIFUL 15 inch cast iron skillet. It was $29.99 and I couldn’t pass it up. The price and the size made it so hard to walk away from. This pan normally goes for upwards of $70.  A couple of weeksRead more

Homemade Helper of Hamburger

I haven’t had Hamburger Helper in quite some time but I have to tell you that as a child, it was one of my favorite things to make.  As an adult, thinking about the stuff from the box kind of makes me want to gag but that doesn’t mean that I haven’t thought about pickingRead more
