Food, Family & Finds from A Cowboy's Wife
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]
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]
Summer brings the heat but also brings salad season, which I happen to love. I’m sure many of you have seen (and perhaps even tried) this Avocado-Tomato Salad but for those who haven’t, it’s a great dish to carry to a cookout, have on fajita day, and even mash up the leftovers (if any) to… [Continue Reading]

Tomatoes and onions create some wonderful dishes and this one is no exception. Because it’s nearly impossible to find green tomatoes around here, I used firm red tomatoes instead. This is part two of three of the dinner meal I planned for you guys. You can see the creamed corn I made earlier and stay… [Continue Reading]
Do you know what real creamed corn is? I’m sure you’ve eaten it from the can but making creamed corn from scratch, well, it’s just better. I thought it was interesting to learn that the cream is actually inside the kernels so in order for you to get it out, you have to put a… [Continue Reading]
HA HA. I have no clue what to call this but I know there are folks out there who have eaten this and if you haven’t, you’re missing out on a delicious vegetable meal! We were given a whole bunch of fresh okra and squash and I mean a whole bunch and I knew exactly… [Continue Reading]
Mmmm, this squash dressing is sooooo good! I’m always looking for creative ways to cook squash and can’t wait to make this for the next holiday! I’d love to hear if you’ve tried this, you version of it or any other creative squash recipe you might make. INGREDIENTS 1 large onion 1 stick of margarine… [Continue Reading]
Just another side dish idea. We try to cook potatoes in a variety of ways and for everything but mashed, we use red potatoes. Basically you throw all this in a bowl, mix and bake. Pretty simple. I chose to use light dressing and no cheese since I’m trying to lose weight but normally we… [Continue Reading]
I’m actually not a fan of squash but everyone I know loves it. I try to cook it often for my family and for the cowboys but get tired of the same ol’ fried squash. I decided this time around to try some baked squash. I fed the cowboys today and must have done something… [Continue Reading]
Sounds slightly fancy but it’s actually VERY easy to make and really not fancy at all….lol Casseroles are making a comeback which is not a surprise with our current economic situation so when I can find a good casserole that is cost friendly and easy, I run with it full speed ahead. This recipe calls… [Continue Reading]
