I did a lot of cooking over the holidays. I also ended up with a lot of leftovers. The day after the kids went back to school I did a refrigerator clean out and inventory. I think we could have fed a small country. There was so much stuff in there Jim and I ate [...]
Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
April 28, 2011 By 22 Comments
Today’s recipe may be one of my favorite meals of all time. It is real comfort food to me. This recipe also makes enough for at least two meals for us, even more now with my reduced size family. I love having a container or two of it in my freezer for those evenings when [...]
Sunday Pot Roast
March 30, 2011 By 17 Comments
Growing up, there was always some type of roast for Sunday dinner. It was pretty standard fare for both my husband and I. We are not big red meat eaters at our house but sometimes a nice, tender pot roast is just what you need. We go to church for three hours each Sunday (yes, [...]
Beef Fajitas
February 16, 2011 By 12 Comments
I have been on a quest. To discover a great beef fajita recipe. I have done lots of experimenting the last month or so and I think my family is a little tired of fajitas. I have experimented with different cuts of meat – several types of steak including skirt steak and flank steak. The [...]
Flat Bread Tacos

When my kids were little I had my list of “go to” meals. Things we had over and over again. I didn’t try new recipes and experiment as much back then as I do now. I just wanted to get dinner on the table! One of our standard meals was tacos. It was quick and it [...]
Marinaded London Broil
June 16, 2010 By 11 Comments
Since I am in London this week I thought a recipe for London broil would be very appropriate! It’s June and that means it must be summer right? Before I left for London it seemed like Portland couldn’t quite make up its mind – rain, sun, rain, sun! Regardless of the weather we have fired [...]

Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo – the 5th of May! The holiday celebrates the Mexican army’s unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. If you’d like to join in the celebration, how about a little Mexican flavor for dinner. Enchiladas are my favorite Mexican food but sometimes you [...]

Meatloaf:Ree & Leigh{Anne}
February 5, 2010 By 10 Comments
I have to admit when I opened The Pioneer Woman Cooks for the first time and saw the recipe for meatloaf I shuttered. You have to understand that meatloaf has not crossed the table of the Wilkes household for at least 12 years. We had an “encounter” with meatloaf 12 years ago that has left [...]
Simple Perfect Enchiladas:Ree & Leigh{Anne}
January 22, 2010 By 23 Comments
I think my favorite ethnic food group is Mexican. It is usually my food of choice when I get to pick where we go out to eat. One of my favorite food memories growing up are the yummy cheese enchiladas my mom made. When I was in college I would save up my food money [...]
