Lasagna

Are you looking for a lasagna recipe that the whole family will enjoy? Look no further! The original recipe is at the bottom of this post.

Sweet Pepper Ranch Casserole

Do you love sweet peppers and want a recipe to make with those? This is a great low carb recipe – next time I make it, I’ll add spaghetti squash to the bottom. I will also cook the peppers a bit before piling the other ingredients on, so any water can drain from those first….

Crockpot Meatloaf Stuffed with Mozzarella

Crockpot French Onion Soup

If you love French onion soup, you will love this one… or if you have not ever had French onion soup, but love onions, this is worth a try. Keep in mind – this is a recipe that calls for 20 hours of cook time. If you do end up cooking the onions for 10…

We have finished our craft beer advent box for 2020, and below is a list of the beers included in this year’s box. I haven’t created this type of post for the previous ones we have done, but figured I’d do something different this year. To take a picture of these beers on the stairs…

Day 22: Dark Matter Porter

On Tuesday, December 22nd, 2020 our beer of the night was called Dark Matter Porter by Logboat Brewing Company. Keep Your Paddle Wet is what it says along the top of the can. This is a roasted coffee brownie. This beer was OK. It did not taste like a brownie though. This is a beer…
