Making spaghetti is fairly simple and everyone likes to make it their own way. I don’t think I would have made this entry if I hadn’t been extremely pleased with the outcome; look and taste. It was definitely a last minute decision to add a post and hopefully you’ll agree that it was worth posting….
Slow Cook Meatloaf
Since we have a couple of crock-pots, Lisa decided that she wanted to try some slow cooking recipes. So, she bought the Fix-It and Forget-It Our Best Slow-Cooker Recipes magazine. I looked through the magazine and saw the one thing that I wanted to try first. Meatloaf! I found Ruth Ann’s Meet Loaf recipe and after looking…
Hearty Simple Goulash
Growing up I always liked having goulash. I’m guessing we had it as a regular staple because noodles and tomatoes were cheap. Goulash usually looks like a bunch of leftovers put into a pot with tomatoes and I am guessing that’s probably similar to the roots of its creation. With my family, sometimes the meat…
Sloppy Jose
The title is actually Sloppy José, but WordPress titles apparently doesn’t like special characters. In a continuing effort to keep things low-carb, I picked out another recipe from the 1001 Low-Carb Recipes book. This time it was something fairly simple to make, a version of sloppy joe’s. As easy as sloppy joe’s are to make,…
Daddy’s BBQ Chicken Sandwich
Having enjoyed some Daddy’s BBQ Sweet Love Chicken Rub with some veggies, I decided to use some for some grilled chicken. The best way that I have found to do chicken breasts, is to marinate the chicken in some sort of rub so that it will create a barrier to keep in the moisture when…
Spicy Shrimp in Beer and Butter
This is the second shrimp recipe from the 1001 Low-Carb Recipe book that Lisa bought. The first one, Cajun Skillet Shrimp, was a hit with the wife. This one didn’t have any vegetables with it, so it seemed like less of a full meal. Lisa made the remark that it would be even better served…
Cajun Skillet Shrimp
Lisa wanted to do some recipes that were lower in carbs. She bought a book called 1001 Low-Carb Recipes. I decided to pick a couple of recipes out of the book and try them out. The first recipe is called Cajun Skillet Shrimp. I bought a bag of medium sized cooked frozen shrimp. The bag…
Sweet Love Chicken and Veggies
Lisa bought some chicken rub from somebody’s kid when she was at work called Daddy’s BBQ Sweet Love Chicken Rub. Since we have been doing a “low carb” diet lately, I bought some chicken, so that we could give it a try. The rub comes in what looks like a miniature floor sack, which in…
Logan Family Beef BBQ
My family has a BBQ recipe that nobody seems to know where it came from. Why? Well, when you think of a shredded beef BBQ, you don’t think “Michigan”. In fact, when I watch shows about BBQ, they talk about North Carolina, South Carolina, Memphis and Texas, but never even mention Michigan. And hardly do…
Keeping it Grilling Simple
A few years ago, I purchased a Char-Broil gas grill to replace my old gas grill that I had since forever. The old gas grill was one of those cheap ones you could pick up at the grocery store that had some brand name of Sunbeam or something. It had worked well, but I replaced…
