BBQ Pulled Pork Skillet Nachos
I find that I come up with the best snacks when I have a bunch of food in the fridge I need to get rid of. These skillet nachos just happen to be a perfect solution to this little problem. I had half of a pork shoulder I needed to use up. — If […]
Baked Beer Battered Bang Bang Shrimp
How is that for some alliteration?! Just like everyone else, I get some crazy cravings. Sometimes these cravings are out of control.

Pretzel-Crusted Chicken Tenders with Honey Mustard

Fried Mac and Cheese Balls
So, I’m not going to lie to you. These are heavenly bundles of cheese and carbohydrates, but we all know that we are trying to have that last big hurrah of unhealthy foods before the New Year begins. Why not go out with a bang? I’m trying to convince myself that it’s ok. It’s […]
