Wonder why I say 'healthy recipes' and then tell you to add a stick of butter?

More Easy Bread Dough Recipes: Pretzel Dogs!

Posted by Gwendelynn Brown on Thursday, March 22, 2012, In : Main Dishes

When I first started making the No-Knead-Refrigerator-Dough-easy bread recipe, I thought it was pretty spectacular. It's the recipe that I've gotten the most positive feedback about so far, so I think you guys are liking it too. The more I experiment with it, the more I realize that I really underestimated how life changing this one little recipe is. I mean, have you tried the pizza? Friday night IS pizza night at our house, and take out just isn't an option now. It...

The Best Meatloaf Recipe Ever

Posted by Gwendelynn Brown on Friday, January 13, 2012, In : Main Dishes

This IS the best meatloaf recipe ever...according to my son. "The kids in my class were CRAZY...they didn't LIKE meatloaf! I couldn't believe it. I guess it's just because they had cafeteria meatloaf." I'm generally not a fan of tooting-my-own-horn, but the other suggestion was 'meat muffins'...and that just didn't sound appetizing.

Truly, though, this is a very awesome meatloaf recipe, and I think you should try it, even if you like your current recipe, or if you have family members w...

Fajita Recipe

Posted by Gwendelynn Brown on Wednesday, November 16, 2011, In : Main Dishes

Mmmm...can you hear the lime fajita recipe sizzling? I crave good, savory food this time of year, and this is such a simple, quick dinner with loads of flavor. It's a nice change from sugar cookies and cheeseballs. And it's *fast*...as in 'set the table before you start heating the pan' fast.
And delicious. It's definitely man pleasin' vittles.

Oh, and I've been playing around with a new way to do a printable recipe...check the end of the post for the link!

This is what you'll need t...

Homemade Pizza Recipe

Posted by Gwendelynn Brown on Sunday, October 31, 2010, In : Main Dishes

This homemade pizza recipe is very, very dangerous. It's so easy, and so delicious, that I'm temped to make it WAY too often. And it's *so* easy. Even my two year old thinks it's great fun to make pizza!

We have this at least once a week, on our Friday Family Night. Fridays are the day we clean house, put away all the school stuff, and veg out in front of a movie.

I am grounded from picking out movies from Redbox. It's a self-inflicted grounding, for the good of all involved.

They stock s...

Hamburger Stroganoff Recipe

Posted by Gwendelynn Brown on Saturday, April 24, 2010, In : Main Dishes

Today we're making my Mom's Hamburger Beef Stroganoff recipe. It's a dish from my childhood that is one of the first meals that I learned to cook. It encompasses everything I require of a family favorite recipe: really, really tastey and really, really easy. It uses ingredients I normally have in my pantry as well.
You can either serve beef stroganoff over egg noodles, like we did when I was a kid; or over rice, which is what the Weatherman prefers. But he'll eat this any way I serve it. ...
