This breakfast skillet is loaded with crispy golden hash, mouth-watering sausage, and perfectly cooked eggs. All you need is a single skillet to make this deliciously satisfying breakfast!

I have been making this simple breakfast skillet for years. I made it for the first time in 2014, when I was cooking Thanksgiving dinner for the first time by myself.

I was only cooking for me and my husband, so there wasn’t really any pressure, but I wanted to be able to take my time.

These Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers are loaded with onions, mushrooms, and thinly shaved steak smothered in warm cheese and tucked inside of a baked bell pepper.

Oh hi, heavenly helping of delicious meat and cheese, thank you for being here. And thank you for being in a pepper. I like you better that way. (What? Don’t you talk to your food like this?)

The other weekend at a BBQ, someone looked at my plate of food and said “Oh, you’re one of those low-carb people huh?” (He obviously isn’t aware of my Cheez-It collection.) But I will say this, and you can’t judge me for it. Sometimes….bread bores me. There. There I said it. (more…)

Ahhh… gone are the days of casually making breakfast on weekends and holidays as I casually sip coffee and plan my day. These days I find myself with a crazy toddler reaching up for her high chair as she repeats “Dinner! Dinner!” 65 times in a row.

“No Taylor, it’s Breakfast time.” 😙

……”Dinner!”

Hellooooo DECEMBAAA. I was going to share with you the turkey pot pie I made last night but then I thought, ehhhhh…. People are probably pretty sick of turkey. I know we’ve had our fill of it by now. Between the actual turkey meal, turkey sandwiches, turkey soup, and turkey pot pie… I figured I might go with something new. PASTA. (more…)
