French Bread Pizza

July 9, 2022 by Debbie Leave a Comment

A slice of french bread pizza on a small plate

This French Bread Pizza is an easy and budget friendly meal the whole family will love. It is easily customized with your favorite toppings . This is something we ate on a regular basis when I was a kid. In the 1980’s take out pizza was a little on the expensive side so my mom made pizza at home on a regular basis. I used to serve this to my kids when they were little and money was tight. . We would have a pizza night and all of them got to put their own toppings on before it went in the oven. Since the price of groceries are going up by the minute I have been getting back to the basics . I have been making a lot of budget friendly meals . This served with a salad is still one of our favorite meals . …

Easy Fish Tacos

August 17, 2020 by Debbie 20 Comments

Three fish tacos on a white plate with limes

These Easy Fish Tacos are packed full of seasoned flaky fish in a hearty warm tortilla. They are topped with cabbage, avocado, cojita and Chipotle Crema(Don’t skip the crema), even those not too sure about fish tacos will love these .  Have you ever tried fish tacos? Don’t be scared they are such a treat . I have an obsession no matter what city or restaurant I am bound to try either shrimp and grits or their fish tacos, I have an internal love for both. After trying so many I have made quite a few at home. For this recipe I used some red snapper I had on hand but basically any white flaky fish will do. For those of you that don’t like “fishy” fish white flaky fish tends to be mellow  with a very mild flavor.

Easy Baked Ziti

Easy Baked Ziti being scooped out of the baking dish

This Easy Baked Ziti is one of those meals all busy Moms should have on their dinner rotation. I am just like the rest of you , I’m chasing my tail trying to keep order in our crazy life. Doing all this plus put dinner on the table at the same time. I have been making this dish for many years and this is what it has evolved to. Back in the day when I had all three boys playing baseball I would make this up and instead of throwing it in the oven I would put it in the fridge.  When we got home I would toss it in the oven and once everyone showered dinner was ready. No drive thru dinner but it was still fast.

Tuna Noodle for Two

April 20, 2020 by Debbie 14 Comments

Tuna Noodle for two in a white bowl with a fork.

I love Tuna Casserole but my family doesn’t have the same feelings about my ultimate comfort food. I am all about using what I have on hand so I was digging around in my pantry and came up with this simple Tuna Noodle for Two. This is the perfect serving for two people or one and save a serving for later. During this stay at home order I have had this for lunch a few times and it is so comforting . This is made mostly from pantry items and the box meal can be replaced with what is on hand.

Beef and Bean Burritos topped with taco sauce and sour cream on a blue plate

Like most people I have been home for two weeks . All I can think about is my favorite Mexican restaurant , I just want cheese dip and margaritas! To satisfy my cravings I dug around in my pantry to see what I had and came up with these Beef and Bean Burritos .  Everyone finds comfort in different food, mine is tacos and burritos . Don’t judge me , it’s a guilty pleasure LOL.  Seriously , this is super simple to cook and what burritos are not eaten they can be wrapped and frozen. These Beef and bean burritos can be popped in the microwave and make the perfect lunch. If you love Mexican food check out my Easy Fresh Salsa, it is so good.

Pantry Chicken Spaghetti

March 13, 2020 by Debbie 18 Comments

Pantry Chicken Spaghetti on a plate with garlic toast.

 

This Pantry Chicken Spaghetti is a great meal to prepare for your family and all the ingredients can be kept in the pantry. It is creamy and full of flavor and your family will love it . This is a great quick dish if you are in a pinch or trying to clean out your pantry.  Necessity is the mother of invention and I have learned  to keep my pantry stocked and know how to use the goods when needed.  Living on the Gulf Coast my entire life and having survived a few natural disasters has taught me a lot.  I always keep a rotating stock of canned goods of all varieties . This Pantry Chicken Spaghetti is a great example but another is my basic Tuna Casserole .
