Indian Tacos
A last minute decision to mix up a box of Wooden Knife Fry Bread Mix left me without all the ingredients to make “Indian Taco” meat sauce according to the recipe on the mix box. Thus, I had to make a lot of adjustments, but in the end I had very unauthentic, but delicious Indian [...]
Orzo with Mushrooms
The plan was to make mushroom risotto…I had all the ingredients ready to go. However, my family was already asking how much longer until we were going to eat and it was getting late. Thus, I decided to ditch the arborio rice and grabbed the orzo pasta instead. After all, it cooked in half the [...]
Corned Beef Hash and Hominy
Do you have leftover corned beef? You could use it to make a Ruben casserole or one of my mom’s “go to” meals, corned beef hash and hominy. What made it a “go to” or last minute meal for my mom was that we never had corned beef except out of a can. I am [...]

“Hunky Mess” aka. Skillet Beef and Macaroni
We always called it “Hunky Mess” because growing up I was told it was Hungarian Goulash. It is not the traditional potato and beef version of goulash – I doubt that it is goulash of any kind. Although, it does call for a substantial amount of Hungarian Paprika. Thus, we called it “Hunky Mess.” [...]
