Sandwiches and I have become great friends over the years. Typically, I make some type of shredded chicken for my sandwiches, and I even have a pulled chicken recipe that brings in similar barbeque flavors to today’s recipe. So even though I love to cook with chicken, today I’m sharing …
When my husband lists his favorite dishes, salisbury steaks are always near the top of his list. I agree with him. If you have never had salisbury steaks before, they are basically seasoned ground beef patties smothered in gravy. I have heard them called hamburger steaks too. Whatever the name, …
Growing up, I don’t remember eating chili much. My only childhood memories of chili involved the kind you could get from Wendy’s. It’s not that we didn’t like chili, it’s just not something that was a common food where I grew up. We did eat a lot of frito pie, …

Enchiladas are one of my favorite foods… definitely one of my top comfort foods. Just saying “enchiladas” brings a smile to my face! I don’t know if it’s because we had them quite often growing up, or if it’s because I honestly haven’t met an enchilada I didn’t like, but …
