Journey to Better
Just a quick post to show what is going with Me In The Kitchen this Thanksgiving. As I've stated in other posts, I don't typically cook a traditional Thanksgiving meal. I usually cook something new or something I've been craving for awhile. Like the one time I attempted to recreate my Grandmother's Yeast Rolls, which… Continue reading Meatless Meatballs and Garlic Couscous
Here in the Deep South, Summer has yet to relinquish it's hold. We are still a few weeks away from consistent cooler temps. Now don't get me wrong, I love having an extended Summer. When it is warm I try not to cook in my oven. This adds a bit of question as to how… Continue reading Crockpot Roasted Potatoes

I gave up my microwave a few years ago when I was moving across the country and didn’t want to travel with so much stuff. During that time, I had become accustomed to… Continue reading This is my Confession
I read somewhere that fast food does not need to be junk food. And this quick fix is exactly that. Fast food. It’s so simple, only 3 ingredients. This reminds me of SpaghettiOs I used to eat as a kid. Except this is the adult version. Total time from start to finish 15 minutes. Of… Continue reading Tomato Soup with Cheese Tortellini
Have you ever come across a recipe that seem to good to be true? The picture just looks so appealing, you just had to give it try? Well, that was this recipe for me. Buffalo Wings used to be one of my favorite dishes. Breaded, un-breaded, baked, fried, batter dip, homemade, or restaurant style you… Continue reading Cauliflower Buffalo Bites
