Bacon Ranch Meatloaf is super easy to make, just mix and bake. The recipe is gluten-free if made as instructed. Making this meatloaf in the Ninja Cooking System instead of an oven saves time and doesn’t heat up the house. Is there a way to guarantee a nice photo of meatloaf? If there is, I …
We love corn. The store didn’t have any decent looking corn on the cob. And I wanted something other than just a pile of corn with butter. So I decided to make a corn casserole. I added in some bacon and cheese for good measure. Rather than adding seasonings, I decided to use a flavored …
Chicken and bacon go together so well, don’t you think? I was going to make hubby some spaghetti, because he likes it and it’s simple to make. Red sauce is not his favorite, so I knew on this day I would be going another route. I used the evaporated milk to form the “base” of …
I love chicken salad. I also enjoy chicken club sandwiches, made with chicken, bacon and cheese. I am a big fan of tomatoes, they are one of my favorites. I like them as is, in things and on things. And I also like them stuffed. I decided to try stuffing some tomatoes with some of …
We love lasagna. I make a few different types of it. One that we enjoy only requires minor alterations to the one I make most often. Basically I swap out some of the mozz for cheddar and then add bacon. It’s just a slightly different flavor but still a food we really enjoy. Here’s how …
Rice is a favorite in our house. Not just because it’s very versatile and tasty, but also because it’s easy to find rice that is gluten-free. White rice is a staple in our home for just that reason. It can be used to make an affordable and tasty meal that everyone, not just folks that …
I love rich and creamy soups, and potato based soups are some of my favorites. But, cooking the potatoes is not one of my favorite things, because if I’m doing it on the stove top it takes a while. So, I thought I’d try my hand at making some in the Instant Pot. I loved …
My oldest loves garlic bread. I do too. Between the two of us there have been times where between the two of us we could devour a whole garlic bread together. We both really enjoy cheesy garlic bread and I make it often. I decided to surprise him one night and add some bacon to …

I had some ground beef that I had to cook. I also had pizza dough that I knew I doubted I’d use this coming week and didn’t want it to turn bad. So I decided to make a homemade calzone with it. Some people might call this a stromboli, and they might be right. Calzones …

What do you do when someone wants meatloaf but you don’t want to turn on the oven and heat up the house? Cook it on the BBQ grill! I wasn’t 100% sure of how it would turn out but figured it was worth a try. As luck would have it it’s easy to make and …
For me, the best part of a BLT is the B and the T. And the cheese. I actually don’t care for lettuce at all. We finally got ourselves a small working grill so I have been facing my fear of grilling. The other night I went out to put some burgers on for my …
My son recently asked me to make him something using fettuccine and shrimp. I told him I’d come up with something. I had fettuccine but no shrimp, so I decided to make something using chicken. This is what I came up with. INGREDIENTS 1 lb fettuccine 16 oz sour cream 1x 1 oz packet ranch …
