FOOD!!

We LOVE food around here, but sadly the blog has not shown quite the same love for it that we experience in our home. I have come to realize that in this season of my life with an adorable, yet attention demanding toddler, time to blog about the food I make is almost non-existent. However, here are some great pictures and links to the food we have made recently that we LOVE! If you try any of it, let me know what you thought!

1. The Pioneer Woman's Beef with Peppers

This is oh so amazing and just like going out for your favorite Asian food. We put it on top of white rice and were in heaven. We've already made it several times for both us and friends!

2. Pineapple Upside Down Cake via the Hungry Housewife

This cake is a spiced up box cake that is SO moist because of the actual pineapple juice you add to the mix. We love this around here! :)

3. Super Moist and Flavorful Meatloaf via Basil Kitchen

Tony always loved meat loaf but I didn't like how I could always taste the "meat" part of it. The name itself is not too appealing. This recipe though, is AMAZING! We half everything in the recipe and it turns out great! What makes it so delicious is the glaze that you see in the picture. You add half to the actual loaf mixture and then put the rest of it on top before it goes in the oven. SO full of flavor! We love it with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli.

4. Cowboy Dinner via Mel's Kitchen

This was a Pinterest find and it's become one of our favorite meals! The country boy in our house loves it! It has a bean, meat, corn, and hot sauce mixture with cheddar cheese and then your favorite cornbread mix on top. It all goes in the oven and out comes this deliciousness!

I'll try to be back with more, because yes, I still cook! It looks a lot less pretty and I make much more of a mess with my little helper in the kitchen, but it is still happening!
