I don’t know why; but it never accrued to me to include bacon in a Chile recipe. When I saw this Chili with Bacon and Black Beans recipe, a light came on; I thought nice, give it a try. It is a simple recipe, but there is quite a bit of prep and cooking time. [...]

  I asked my wife what she wanted for dinner, and she said, “you know we haven’t had pork chops in awhile”, well it sounded like a good idea to me so I found this Baked Pork Chops with Gravy Recipe. I like the idea that the recipe called for white wine because it’s a [...]

  It seems like we have Tacos in this house at least once a week. We have no Taco Bell Restaurants close by, so we always make our own. There are so many brands of premade Taco Seasonings in the store; I don’t think I could count them all, and most of them are pretty [...]

  Colorful and tasty for the Holidays; this Krispy Cream Donut knock of recipe is pretty good. I don’t think it’s exactly the same but pretty close. It’s been a long time since I made donuts so I decided to make some up, and add some Christmas color. I have been making a lot more [...]
