Growing up, my mom was great at hosting big family gatherings. She would hold big celebrations for graduations in our backyard and host my many many cousins. She always made this BBQ Beef recipe and I have been dreaming about it since I was a kid. I thought I lost this recipe when I lost her, but recently when I was digging through recipes, I found a recipe for BBQ Beef in her handwriting....

What are the best noodles for chicken noodle soup that don’t get soggy? Homemade of course!! And they’re really not hard at all. But if you don’t have time or lack noodle confidence, you want to buy egg noodles. Wide, spiral, thin, any are fine, but don’t buy normal pasta. It doesn’t have the same texture. And ANY noodles will eventually get soggy in your soup if they’re boiled to death or left in the fridge for a week....

Tis the season to be thankful: I’m thankful for conversations with grocery store clerks. They are always so cheerful. Or maybe it just seems that way because I am so cheerful about all the food I am buying. I’m thankful for cold spiced apple cider and red trees.

How was everybody’s Easter yesterday? Ours was full of family and church and lots and lots of chocolate. Seriously I think Charlotte ate her weight in candy. She loves it when Grandma’s in town and in charge of buying the basket-fillers. We had our Easter egg hunt over at my sister Nikki’s.

This Corn Chowder recipe is the perfect soup for transitioning from summer into cooler fall weather....
Every Sunday I put Charlotte in an adorable dress for church, tie the bow in the back and off we go. And every Sunday within the first 5 minutes of settling into our pew, Eric re-ties Charlotte’s bow because my bows look like garbage. This girl-failure of mine is always made even more prominent around the holidays. I tied bows on the first few of our neighbor treats last night, but made Eric take over for the rest....

Turkey or Beef Both ground turkey and ground beef work great in this recipe. It is simply a matter of personal preference. If you are using ground turkey, you will want to spray the skillet you use with cooking spray (if it is non stick) or add some olive to the pan (if it isn’t non stick), before breaking it up and browning it. If you are using ground beef, you do not need to add anything to the pan first....
