Several of my friends have had weight loss luck with a program called Trim Healthy Mama. While I haven’t personally checked it out, I have seen some recipes and ideas floating around on Facebook that intrigued me. This lasagna in particular. Loved the idea of using spinach in place of noodles! I almost never make… Continue reading “Lazy” Lo-Carb Spinach Lasagna
Apparently, going to Ikea for Swedish Meatballs is a thing. I didn’t know it was a thing until I went to Ikea this week. I mean, I’ve been to Ikea before, but I’ve never dined in their food court until now. You should’ve seen the line up of people waiting to order their Swedish meatballs.… Continue reading Swedish Meatballs

So, when I saw this… Continue reading Wendy’s Style Chili
This recipe comes from my in-laws, who make it often. I think it is supposed to be a side dish, but it also makes a great dinner if you serve it with cornbread and salad. Incidentally, it also is a great side dish, served at a BBQ with burgers and hot dogs, or ribs. I… Continue reading Don & Kathi’s Crock Pot Chuck Wagon Baked Beans
