Hindsight is 20/20. When I was taking a bite of one or two BBQ beans, the beans fell from the buns, and BBQ sauce was leaking everywhere on my face and hands. This could have been more appealing as a wrap sandwich. Sometimes, eating messy food is more chaotic. This BBQ Bean Sliders are probably not the best thing to make for your first date. Perhaps even for a third or second date. However, these are excellent things to prepare when you're hungry for BBQ and don't have time or funds to cook a whole pork shoulder. I'm talking about me, and I enjoy pulled pork likely more than...

I've tried a variety of pasta sauces all the time. However, the Slow Cooker Spaghetti Sauce is undoubtedly one of my favorites. A long simmer that is slow cooks caramelizes the sugars present in the tomatoes, creating an intense flavor that cannot be beaten. What more can you ask for besides throwing a few ingredients in a pan, let simmer for eight hours, and then reap the delicious and decadent sauce? Then, you can split your sauce into portions and freeze it for later use, and you'll have your own delicious homemade pasta sauce for those quick, busy dinners during the week. WHAT...

This is another easy meal prep idea for you! This simple Cajun Sausage vegetable meal preparation follows the vegetable + protein formula and is extremely quick to prepare. There are other suggestions for you in the following section if you'd like to beef up the food or add a bit of flair! PROTEIN OPTIONS The Andouille sausage used in this recipe is stuffed with spices and herbs and has a beautiful smoky taste that adds flavor. You could substitute the link with something like chicken or shrimp thighs; however, should you choose to do this, I suggest covering the chicken or shrimp thoroughly...

Sausage and cabbage are among the most satisfying and delicious combinations I've ever had. I've cooked sausage and cabbage together in various ways before. However, I wanted to try them in a slow cooker to determine whether this simple, hands-free cooking method could work. What's the verdict? It's good! The combination of sausage and cabbage made in a slow cooker turns into a tender, brothy (almost similar to the soup of sausage and cabbage) and delicious. POTATO OPTIONS I used baby creamer potatoes since they were simple and didn't require cutting. However, you can also use white potatoes and Yukon gold potatoes cut into...

Valentine's Day is coming up, and I thought you might require something special to prepare your honey (even when you're your honey - show yourself some affection). This luxurious Shrimp Alfredo is super easy and tastes as elegant as eating out. ...Except it is much less costly and more unique because you made it yourself. This delicious shrimp pasta with a creamy sauce will give you additional points! WHAT'S IN SHRIMP ALFREDO? This pasta dish is what I prefer to refer to as"an "Amerifredo" or an American-style alfredo sauce. A true Roman Alfredo sauce is not made with garlic or heavy cream and gets...

CAN I USE FRESH SPINACH? I also tried this recipe with fresh spinach to determine which is better. I added fresh, finely cut spinach in the Quesadillas but not sautéing. The quesadillas were delicious. However, they did turn slightly watery if they were in the hot pan too long or were sitting on the plate for too long before eating. Another method to use fresh spinach is to saute it until all of the water has cooked off, but you'll likely require a massive amount of spinach to yield enough quesadillas after being sauteed. CHEESE OPTIONS I made simple quesadillas with mushrooms...

As I've grown older, my palate has gotten more adventurous, and I prefer foods that surprise and delight my taste buds. However, I was raised in the midwest of the '80s, when creamy dishes were the norm for dinner, and I have an affinity for classic dishes such as the Tuna Noodle casserole. It may not be as glamorous as some other recipes; however, it's delicious, smooth del, and utterly cozy! I updated the classic recipe to reflect my cooking style of the moment by making the tuna noodle casserole entirely from scratch and without canned soup. MAKE IT CHEESY The most loved...

I've been really into simple, quick-fix meals recently. You can create those recipes in just a few minutes with only a few ingredients and no cutting. It's the case with this recipe. The Coconut Curry Ramen I cooked just a few months ago was so delicious that I wanted to recreate it without ramen for those unable to eat instant Ramen. This fast, quick 15-minute Vegetable Curry recipe is as simple as it gets, yet it's packed with rich, delicious taste! WHAT IS VEGETABLE CURRY? Curry comes in many varieties based on the region that you're located in. It's crucial to remember that...
