Because you can never have too many ground beef recipes in a cheap and easy household. (The good kind of cheap.) This is my new favorite meat sauce. The special ingredient (cream cheese) sounds kind of odd, but adds a great creaminess/smoothness to what can otherwise be an acidic tasting dish. It calls for two different kinds of processed tomatoes, which is kind of important for texture. The diced means you get nice little chunks of goodness, and the sauce, well, makes the sauce. Makes great leftovers. Read more

I really love this. I love eating this as a main meal with just some crusty bread on the side, but I also get tired of serving the same sides night after night.

This is a recipe that doesn’t include a can of cream of mushroom soup. It’s rich and delicious, but you can lighten it up by using low-fat sour cream. It’s cheaper to use canned mushrooms, and if you like the canned well enough feel free, but I vastly prefer fresh. If you do decide to use canned, you should still saute them with the onion to develop a little browning. Either way its good. Read more
This is a readily available recipe, but since its my blog and I am using it for archival purposes I am posting it here for future reference. It deserves the hype. I have a loaf rising as I type and looking forward to eating that soft deliciousness. If you’ve never made homemade bread you really should give it a try. It’s not as hard as some make it out to be and once you get the hang of it, you have a wonderful life skill that will be a blessing to yourself and others. Read more
