This was a nice filling and healthy meal. We skipped on the rice today, as we're doing a week mostly sans-carbs to kick-start our weight loss after hitting a plateau. Sometimes a little change is all the body needs. Feel free to sub in whatever veggies you ...

I picked up some gorgeous thick lamb loin chops at Costco, and wanted to simply prepare them. This is how I ended up cooking them. They turned out quite nicely. If you prefer them more well done, just leave them in the oven longer. I roasted ...

This recipe was inspired by this Taste of Home recipe for Trick or Treat Turnovers. Shaun isn't a fan of mustard or cheese, so I took these a different route and did a sort of Italian-flavored filling. We thought the biscuits didn't quite match with the filling, which ...

My mom is in town for just the evening, so we had a nice steak dinner as we watched the Broncos game. It was really nice to catch up with her :-)

I got this recipe from the Tasty Kitchen website. It was the featured recipe a few days ago and I marked it to try. I slightly reduced the butter and used freshly grated nutmeg. This was a very juicy and flavorful chicken, and I'll definitely make it ...
