Under Ten Meal Series: Chicken and Dumplings
For today’s dinner I chose to make a comfort food favorite because my husband was feeling a bit blue. Chicken and dumplings was today’s menu item that I decided to tackle. I personally love this meal because it is so filling and hearty. However, I had never made this meal before and was a little unsure of how it was done. So I called up my mom and had her impart motherly wisdom upon my cooking venture. She always loves when I call her for recipes or cooking tips because I have never been the girliest girl on the block, so we haven’t bonded over cooking much and mom loves a chance to spend time with me even if I am an hour away from her. Not saying that cooking makes you girly, only saying that there is a special bond between mother and daughter that is formed over sharing recipes from family that has now passed on. Mom suggested that I use a dutch oven for this meal as it cooks the dumplings nicely. However, if you don’t own one of those you could use any old pot thats fairly deep and that you have a properly fitting lid for. As always, my shopping was done at Walmart if you would like to price compare to keep your meal cost as low as I have shown below.

French Toast Casserole Recipe
Breakfast is arguably best meal of the day. Plus scientists have claimed it is the most important meal of the day. Sure. What I do know is that it is the only meal I can eat foods that should be classified as desserts as my main course and no one will judge me (pancakes, crepes and French toast, anyone?). You can’t eat a piece of cake for dinner in public and not have someone ask you if you had a rough day. So I have made it a mission to find great breakfasts and never settle for a piece of toast and orange juice again - nothing against those of you who enjoy that.

Under Ten Meal Series
I, like many other Americans, work my 40 hours a week. The daily grind, or nightly grind in my case. I work overnights. I often find myself with too many bills and not as much money as I would like. I used to eat a lot of junk. My husband and I were going out to eat about four times a week or more. Not only was it bad for my body, it was also bad for my wallet. Recently I have been cooking at home most every evening before I head in to work and I have found that a lot of meals that I enjoy can be made for around 10$ and feed four-ish people depending on the people's appetites. My recipes are usually consumed by myself and several grown men with big appetites so you can generally assume these recipes will feed four very hungry people. So for my first post I will be covering Cheap Chicken Pot Pie. I remember my mother making something similar to this recipe whenever one of us kids were feeling down in the dumps. This meal at its core is comfort food. It's hearty and filling and fun to eat. This recipe will make a great addition to your meal arsenal. Sure to be a crowd-pleaser. I usually shop at Walmart because I live in a small town and there are not many options for grocery stores.

Puppy Chow
Over the holidays, I have made a lot of sweets. One of the most popular that I made was puppy chow. It was surprising to me, as I found myself sharing the recipe over and over, that there are a lot of people who have never eaten puppy chow or that have never even heard of it. Mostly older generations, it seems did not grow up with this treat, as I did. (Shocking, right?!) Since this is a recipe that I absolutely love making and eating, I've decided that is important to share it with anyone who may not know of its existence.

Easiest Cookie Recipe on Earth
We've all been there. Minding our own business, when suddenly, the sweet tooth hits. It's likely that you're not going to want to get all the ingredients out to make a homemade cake or your famous chocolate chip cookie recipe that uses no less than 15 steps. Who has the time or energy for that? It's times like this when you need something simple and easy—and most importantly, tasty! I had searched and searched through recipes online, made changes to some, left out ingredients, etc, and nothing had seemed to be both easy to make and good enough to satisfy everyone's sweet tooth. Then one day, when I wasn't even looking for it, the best recipe came to me (with the help of a friend)! The easiest cookie recipe I've come across was given to me by a friend in High School years ago and since then, it's become my go-to recipe. (And for good reason, too). The whole thing can be easily completed in no time!

Vegan Peruvian Tallarines Verdes Recipe
When I first laid eyes on the fluorescent green beauty that is Tallarines Verdes, I was in the middle of my favorite Peruvian restaurant and terrified of what was before me. I had never seen such a green meal in my life! Especially on spaghetti. As a daring young kid, I decided to be brave and try this daunting meal. Best decision, ever.

Homemade Granola
So we are into the new year and I know that I for one am super happy about still keeping my new year’s resolution. #simple #healthyliving #healthyyou #letsgo I know, I know it is still very early, but I have never felt so good, and knowing that I like this feeling makes me want to stick with it even more.

Egg & Hashbrown Casserole
On Sunday, there was a very intense discussion that I was having with my boyfriend: what we should make to take to work in our lunches all week. After weeks of eating the same meal for lunch every day, he was getting bored with his usual go-to choice and wanted something a bit different. We both usually like to make something big so it lasts all week and doesn’t leave us without a lunch. After much debate over the merits of a variety of foods, I had an epiphany: a casserole. Only, what kind of casserole? I didn't want to make the same old casserole. I wanted something new. Something exciting. Something that didn't take all day to make. I spent a lot of the day researching different types of casseroles. Frankly, they all looked delicious.

Best Way to Kick a Cold
OK, so I am not a winter person. Go figure, since I live in northeast PA, but it is what it is. I am also not a big fan of being cold, so when I do get cold, I instantly look for something hot to help warm me up. Usually this is either coffee or tea. I am trying not to drink a lot of coffee, mainly because I drink WAY too much of it as is, and as much as I love tea, I am usually not in the mood for it unless I am sick. So I turned to the web to see what I could find as an alternative. I was looking for something that was hot, sweet, and just plain good for you. That is when I found this recipe online for a warm, soothing winter drink. I jumped at the opportunity to try it. It is called "Winter Sore Throat 'Tea'," but I guarantee it will be a favorite all year long. This simple yet delicious drink is great not only if you are not feeling well, but it is PERFECT if you just want something hot to drink without all the excess of caffeine.

How To Create the Perfect Tuna Lasagne
I created this dish a few days ago, and it was perfect. I would like to share it with you so you can enjoy it too. This is a slow food dish. Do not rush it. Take your time. Have a glass of wine. Put on the radio to your favourite music. Pre-heat the oven to about 180 centigrade.
