October 21, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 9 Comments

I really wanted to make Taste of Home’s Trick-or-Treat Turnovers but my plans were immediately derailed because I could not find a tin of flaky biscuits. I did not give up! Instead? I did some creative problem solving and came up with these adorable little guys to put through my test kitchen. I cooked up some ground […]

Recipe Review: Jamie Oliver’s Meatballs and Pasta

June 11, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 9 Comments

That is real Parmesan, I put it through a mini food processor and now it looks like the canned stuff! Dearest Ava recommended this Jamie Oliver’s Meatballs and Pasta recipe after she made it and posted her photograph to The Food Network Site. Considering she is Italian and said that this recipe tasted like the real deal, I just […]

Recipe: My Chili

May 12, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 6 Comments

In our house growing up my dad would make two dishes in the kitchen: spaghetti and chili. His chili is wonderful and hard to beat. Even though as a child I removed each and every kidney bean from my bowl, I still loved every other bite of his chili. It tastes like home. I have […]

Crockpot Roast Beef

September 21, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 13 Comments

My dad is visiting and I wanted to make a special dinner for his arrival so I made a no-stress crockpot roast beef dinner. I woke up and cut some veggies and put them in a thin later on the bottom. You do not want meat stewing on the bottom so this raises the meat […]

Cooking Tutorial: My Perfect Steak

May 24, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 9 Comments

Once again, just as with my perfect baked potato, I need to preface this post by saying the term “perfect” is completely subjective. I think even more so when it comes to steak because everyone seems to like it differently. I have friends who just sprinkle the steak with grill seasoning and fire it up […]
