Green onion dip recipe

June 13, 2020 by Brittany Belling Leave a Comment

Green onion dip recipe We love green onions, so naturally we planted a ton of them in our garden. Well, we're not eating them as fast as we thought we would, and we keep forgetting about them. We'll be sitting down half way done with dinner, looking out at our garden and that's when we think "oh yeah, green onions would have been great on this." Moral of the story, I'm ...

June 12, 2020 by Brittany Belling Leave a Comment

I just read in a magazine that if you buy a nice blender it deserves a home on your counter so you'll remember to use it. Well, we have a nice blender the Pampered Chef Deluxe Cooking Blender and it's been used at least once a day since we bought it. My husband and I have been planning our morning smoothies the night before, it's serious business. Last night we planned on a ...

Sheet pan roasted vegetables with beer braised bratwurst

June 6, 2020 by Brittany Belling Leave a Comment

I love roasting vegetables on a sheet pan, and recently discovered how much better they cook on a Pampered Chef Stoneware bar pan. I simply dice some of my favorite vegetables, put them in a bowl, coat them with a little bit of olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic and a little bit of salt and pepper. Sometimes I'll add protein like chicken to the top, but I ...

Baked Pizza Ziti Recipe (weeknight meal for picky eaters)

May 18, 2020 by Brittany Belling Leave a Comment

I need easy go-to meals to survive the week. I love cooking, but sometimes you need to throw together noodles, sauce, and cheese and call it a meal.  I used my homemade marinara recipe for this particular batch, because the pandemic has been keeping me away from Trader Joe's pizza sauce.  I started with al dente ziti, then normally add in pizza sauce, browned hamburger with ...

Decadent Apple Cinnamon Pancake Topping recipe

January 13, 2020 by Brittany Belling Leave a Comment

Can I tell you a secret? I hate pancakes. They're just ok, and because I don't love them I only eat 1 or maybe 2 if they're small so I'm always starving right after breakfast. I'm just not a fan. This makes AJ and Aliceana so sad. So when we were binge watching Queer Eye with a box of Kleenex very nearby, because oh man that show makes us cry a lot. In one particular episode ...

Venison Stew recipe

January 7, 2020 by Brittany Belling Leave a Comment

Living in Wisconsin venison is something that we grow up with, so we were thrilled this year when AJ got two deer on opening day. This was also the first year that Aliceana went on the journey out to the woods, the biggest take away is that she has a hard time staying quiet for that long, and she's not great at whispering. Anyway, venison is an incredibly lean meat, and we love ...

White Chocolate Oatmeal Craisin Cookies

December 2, 2019 by Brittany 2 Comments

We've been her guinea pigs, taste testing every new meal she comes up with. That's not what I'm here to talk about though, I'm here to talk about her amazing oatmeal raisin cookies. One of my ...
