Spicy Eggplant and Beef

Spicy Eggplant and Beef

This meal sure isn’t pretty….  As a matter of fact, it looks truly gross – but it is so good!  Even Lo really liked it and he’s never been thrilled with any eggplant recipe I made.  My sister emailed the recipe to me and when 

Twice Baked Taco Stuffed Potatoes

Twice Baked Taco Stuffed Potatoes

  When I bought two bags of organic potatoes for 99 cents each, I needed to figure out a way to use them in case they started going bad since they were reduced.  I didn’t want us to have to each a bunch of starchy

I picked up a big, beautiful piece of meat from the House of Meats at Anderson’s last week when it was on sale.  I don’t remember exactly what the cut was – I think boneless top round or something like that.  I knew I had

I had it in my head that we’d have lentil meatballs, pasta, and Private Selection Arrabbiata Sauce that I got for free as a part of my Private Selection BzzCampaign.  I asked Lo to pull the meatballs out of our chest freezer this morning, but

Corned Beef and Coleslaw

I was busy lazy before St. Patrick’s Day weekend, so didn’t get the corned beef made until the next week.  I didn’t know that I liked corned beef until we went to Skillet and I had corned beef hash.  I didn’t even know what it 

Reduced-Fat Sloppy Joes

We loved these sloppy joes – the sauce was really good and they were much healthier since mushrooms were added, thus decreasing the beef in each serving.  I’m being completely honest when I say that you have no idea there are mushrooms in this recipe.
