I am a mama, wife, veteran, and student. My husband is in the Army, so he's gone more than I would like him to be. I have a little boy, who I think is brilliant and hilarious, but we are starting to hit the terrible twos so I may change my mind. I'm slowly working on getting my degree in Library Science so that I can be a Children's Librarian when I "grow up". My husband is a pretty picky eater, so in addition to introducing a variety of foods to our toddler, I'm introducing them to hubby as well.

I made this recipe for a friend's wedding, and everybody raved about it. I've made carrot cakes before, but none turned out as well as this one did, and it smelled wonderful even before it went in the oven.

I was trying to find a quick and easy dessert to serve after a heavy meal and this fit the bill perfectly. It's super easy and quick to make and when you're done you have a wonderful tangy sherbet.

This was great and so easy to make. I'll add a bit less spinach next time, but otherwise I wouldn't change a thing.

Easy Tuna Casserole

This is a great base recipe. Its very easy to adjust to your taste, or whatever ingredients you have on hand. I actually used Tuna Melt Tuna Helper, and I used two 7 ounce pouches of tuna, and then added Cream of Mushroom soup, 3/4 of a can of milk, threw in some sauteed mushrooms and onions, peas, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and some crushed red pepper flakes. I topped it with cracker crumbs and cheddar cheese. My husband loved it, and he is extremely picky, so that was all I needed to know that I'll be using this recipe as a guideline again.

Skillet Pork Chops with Potatoes and Onion

My husband and I loved this. The potatoes were so creamy, and the pork chops were awesome. I added tarragon, thyme, oregano and garlic powder. It was a little salty, so next time I wont add any additonal salt. And make sure that you're using a very large skillet with a good fitting lid. My skillet was too small, so the grease that spattered onto the stove started a minor fire the next day when I used that burner;) This is definitely a keeper though!

Chicken and Dumplings II

My picky husband, who claims to have never had chicken and dumplings before, loved it. I did add some red pepper flakes and cayenne pepper for some heat. And I added cornstarch to thicken it. This was great for a cold day.

I was looking for a good peanut butter center for truffles, sadly this wasn't it. It was too sweet (and I have a sweet tooth), all I tasted was the sugar. I was able to remedy it by upping the peanut butter to 4 cups.

Brenda's Apple and Pomegranate Crisp

I liked the taste of this, but didn't like the texture of the cooked pomegranate. I wasn't very happy with how the crust turned out either, I thought it was too soft. I might make this again as a pie with pomegranate juice rather than the seeds.

Mrs Espy's Enchilada Sauce

Luckily I had a can of enchilada sauce in the pantry, cause this was totally inedible. I thought it tasted tinny, and my husband simply couldn't tell what it tasted like.

Better Than Sex Cake

Woohoo! Loved this. I did make a few changes though. I omitted the candy bars and I didn't mix the sweetened condensed milk and caramel togather. I just poured the whole 14 oz can of milk, and the whole 12 oz jar of caramel over the cake. It's sooo gooey and rich.

Focaccia Bread

My husband and I really enjoyed this. I proofed the yeast with half a cup of warm water and half a cup of flour. I also used a teaspoon and a half of Italian seasoning, and a teaspoon of basil, rather than all the individual seasonings. I can't wait to try this as a pizza crust.

Quick and Easy Tater Tot Casserole

This was so simple and delicious. My husband had two helpings and can't wait for the leftovers. I browned the ground beef with some diced onions and minced garlic and put it into a 7x11 dish. I also sprinkled parmesan cheese over the tator tots before adding the soup mixture, and topped the whole casserole with shredded cheddar cheese.
