Food, Family & Finds from A Cowboy's Wife
You may also know this shamrock pie as a grasshopper pie but I like shamrock better. The thought of a ‘grasshopper’ pie just doesn’t sound to appealing you know? Anyways, some folks use pudding but I chose ice cream! It’s the easiest recipe ever and looks pretty, leaving your mouth minty fresh! Nothing like St…. [Continue Reading]
Whenever I make desserts, Truett always asks me to make him something special and I really never do. I thought I’d make him his own St. Patrick’s Day special treat; a Pot of Gold. Now I realize this looks like a lot of work but it wasn’t bad at all. And in the end, it… [Continue Reading]
No, this is not soup. Creamy chicken and noodles is just that, chicken breasts and egg noodles cooked in a creamy sauce. It’s simple, it’s filling, and it tastes good. I had all the ingredients to make this Creamy Chicken Florentine but when I went to search for the red peppers, they were nowhere to… [Continue Reading]
The past few weeks have been crazy to say the least. While the blog has suffered a bit, there have been lots of answered prayers that I’m truly thankful for and that needed my undivided attention. Things are back to normal again for the most part. I have a 3 day weekend to Arlington to… [Continue Reading]
I’ve heard of parents sneaking in fruits & veges to get their kids to eat them but around here, there’s no need to be sneaky. When I received a big box of Piñata apples, Truett’s eyes lit up. He asked what I was gonna do with them and I said, “I don’t know, I think I’m… [Continue Reading]
You could easily make these Valentine popcorn bag treats for any occasion but I needed a quick fix for my son’s Valentine’s Day party. I could make a number of things but since one of the little girls in his class is allergic to red dye, I decided to go with a general treat, placed… [Continue Reading]
With school & church functions, I’ve had minimal time to cook so I’m all about quick & easy meal solutions these days! I’ve seen this recipe thrown together by a gal in New Mexico. It was funny because none of the ranch hands knew that it was this quick of a meal. They always thought… [Continue Reading]
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]
