Beef Enchiladas
My husband, despite coming from Chicago originally, likes Tex-Mex food a lot. He does not, however, like cheese and onion enchiladas. It is the cheese that he objects to, not the enchiladas themselves, so because I love him I make him beef enchiladas when I make cheese and onion for myself. Beef enchiladas are simple, but I wondered what the internet would have to say about it. When I did some research I was shocked at how...
Turkey Meatballs with Quick Tomato Cream Sauce
There are some days when I crave meatballs, but I do not crave the fat content contained in most recipes. Not that I am afraid of fat. Quite the opposite, I adore fat, but some nights I want something a little lighter. That, however, does not mean I want to sacrifice flavor. That is why I LOVE these turkey meatballs. You get hearty, meaty, and moist meatballs without the added fat. The grated carrots are the secret to these...

Onion, Apple, and Bacon Tart
I love savoury tarts. They are so nice for lunches, light dinners and are perfect for a brunch. What I love about a savoury tart, aside from how nice they are to eat, is how you can vary the fillings to suit your taste and what you have on hand. This tart was born out of what I had on hand. I had a bag of sweet yellow onions, a bag of apples, and some lovely thick cut bacon. I also had some fresh eggs, courtesy of my new blog pal...
Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup
If you follow me on Twitter (twitter.com/bakingblog) then you know that I have been under the weather lately. When I am sick I turn to soup for comfort. There is nothing like a bowl of hot soup to put the roses back in your cheeks. Of course, when you are sick you do not really feel like spending time stirring, mixing, or watching a pot of veggies get soft. Enter my slow cooker. It was a gift at Christmas, to replace my old one...
