When I was younger before I had a family and responsibilities, I would go out and celebrate Cinco De Mayo till the wee hours of the morning.  (It was easier to fit a siesta in back then).  Now, I have to find other ways to enjoy the day.  The whole family loves fajitas and with this recipe from Taste of Home it's an easy and quick meal.  OLE'

I was making meatloaf from scratch the other day, I usually use a mix with the meat that gives me the oven temp and how long to cook it, so I was at a loss.  I turned to the internet and while  I was getting the answers I needed, I also found that my meatloaf could have been prepared in my bread machine (yay, it would get used!)  After some research, I found other uses for my bread machine.

Who isn't counting pennies now days?  It's always a win win for you and your family when you can serve something tasty they like, it's easy to make and costs next to nothing.  Hey, we just described Taste of Home's Pizza Potato Toppers Recipe.  The cool thing?   They  L O O K like they were a lot of work, but they super duper easy!

It's a snow day, make the house smell awesome and feed the hungry snowman builders with this Taste of Home recipe favorite, Super Sloppy Joes.  Oh sure, you could just open a can and brown some hamburger, but you won't get to savor the flavor of the fresh spices that are simmered together and the house will smell fantastic!

Chocolate lovers unite!  I was scrolling through fb posts yesterday and came across this AMAZING recipe!  They were thinking when they decided to put chocolate, cool whip and cream cheese together with Oreos!!!  The only thing better than THIS, would be this without any calories.  But, trust me, totally worth it...ENJOY!

I was lucky enough to have been invited to my co-host, Ken Hayes' mother's home for Easter dinner this year.  The ham was delicious, the cheesy potatoes couldn't be cheesier (than Ken) and the homemade rolls were fresh and hot out of the oven.  Ken got to take the leftover ham home, but if you were left with lots of ham and don't know what to do with it, make Taste of Home's Ham and Corn Chowder. 

My hubby and I will be joining Ken Hayes and his family for Easter this year.  When I asked what I could bring the suggestion was deviled eggs.  That's easy enough, but I wanted a recipe I could WOW them with, so I turned to Taste of Home.  These adorable chicks will make Ken shake his head, but when he tastes the hint of ranch dressing he'll forget their whimsical and just appreciate that I broug

If you're like me, you're always looking for something new, something different, something unique to put on your holiday table.  These whimsical Orange Glazed Bunny Rolls from Taste of Home are just the thing to do the trick this Easter!  Might have to make a double batch!!!

I recently started "baking" my bacon, instead of frying it.  It's not as messy, suppose to be healthier and gives me 15 minutes to get the rest of the meal prepared.  I have never tried baking my eggs in their shell, but this Easter instead of hard boiled, I'm going to try this easy, guaranteed way to make a hard egg for coloring.  Have you tried it?

  Green beer can lead to being a bit green the morning after.  I'm pretty proud of myself, I'm thinking a head.  St. Patty's Day is on a Sunday this year, so you'll probably be celebrating on Saturday.  But, the family will still be looking for breakfast on Sunday morning.  Don't mess with individual breakfast fare like pancakes or french toast. Try this one dish bake from Taste of Home that will

When my daughter Kylee was growing up, I remember having to come up with creative ideas for her Friday meals during Lent.  When I saw this Taste of Home recipe for Tuna 'n' Pea Casserole, I immediately thought, "I could serve THAT on Friday".  Kylee is 19 now so I don't cook Friday night meals for her much anymore, but if you're still looking for that meal that works for Fridays during L

I don't care for peeps, to eat. But this cute cake recipe from Taste of Home caught my eye and will look great on your Easter buffet table, whether people eat it, or you just use it for a colorful centerpiece!  That's what I'm opting for.
