Food, Family & Finds from A Cowboy's Wife
Goat cheese is definitely a type of cheese that had never made it to our table in 18+ years, until the end of 2011. Chavrie, the #1 go-to folks for America’s freshest goat cheese, sent my family some to try and I have to say, I didn’t expect me or my bunch to like it… [Continue Reading]
Every since I started meal planning, I have been coming up with really easy, budget friendly recipes like these creamy chicken enchiladas. I have only been cooking one big meal a day, the 5 O’Clock meal, these days, the only meal that we are all together for. And remember, it’s proven that having a meal… [Continue Reading]
Quick and easy; that seems to be our food motto these days. With Church & school functions, work, and sports, making a ham and cheese calzone is just one of the easy recipes I’ve been cooking up lately. It’s a meal that to grab and go which we frequently do with basketball season in full… [Continue Reading]
Meat and taters….that seems to be the heart of our meals most days so making sure I can make them taste good all the time becomes a challenge. I’ve baked them with Ranch dip, mashed them with butter and cheese, and done just about everything else I can think. One of our most favorite ways… [Continue Reading]
Slow Cooked Ribs…mmmmm, sounds heavenly huh? Well, my guys thought so! I watched them devour these ‘fattier than I’d like ribs’ that took 14 hours to cook, while I happily savored every moment of my taters. I’m making every effort to make my crockpot feel loved. I’ve always used it for the basics like beans… [Continue Reading]
My first week’s meal plan worked out really great! While I didn’t enjoy sitting down to plan the meals, I did enjoy seeing your guesses, seeing what I actually spent, and not having to worry about what to cook each night of the week. So before we get to week two’s meal plan, let’s find… [Continue Reading]
In honor of National Oatmeal Month, I thought I’d round a few of my favorite oatmeal recipes for you, many of which are healthy, with a couple (or 3 or 4 or 5) being indulgent. If you don’t follow these blogs, you should definitely add them to your weekly reading. They tell great stories, share… [Continue Reading]
2011 has been full of ups and even more downs. Me and the family have been focusing on each-other and our future for the past couple of months and plan to start 2012 fresh in all areas, including financially. We are starting Dave Ramsey’s financial plan beginning of 2012 and that means cutting costs everywhere,… [Continue Reading]
One of the pains that I have to deal with here on the ranch, is the lovely hard-water spots on my dishes. I was always looking for that next product to eliminate them but man, it can get pricey. I was talking to a gal, probably in her 60′s, who was telling me that she… [Continue Reading]
With basketball season in full bloom, dinner starts to become much later in the evening, and that means finding easy meal solutions to get the family fed before it’s already time to hit the hay. We often look for recipes via the Internet, cookbooks, and our friends but don’t forget about the back of products… [Continue Reading]
I will just die if y’alls sink doesn’t ever get like this!! Between everyday cooking and dyes I use for projects & cakes, my sink can get quite messy, actually, flat out gross. And I’ll admit, there are times when I let things sit in the sink for a day and it begins to stain… [Continue Reading]
Well, these Halloween Black Cat Cookies are FAR from perfect but they were definitely a LOT of fun to make! They are a little time consuming but it’s something that you should plan to spend an entire morning or day doing. And I recommend that you make a plan, read all the directions first, and… [Continue Reading]
My husband is a pretty great fella. He’s always done more than what I think most husbands do and cooking is no exception. He loves to cook breakfast for us and he loves to make his beans in the slow cooker. We cook beans and tortillas quite often because it’s a filler and it’s cheap. … [Continue Reading]
