I love easy weeknight meals. I also love comfort food that just takes you back in time and makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. And these “Tastee” loose meat sandwiches are the perfect solution for a chilly weekday. In just a few minutes, using some condiments and spices you probably already have in your fridge and pantry, you’ll love this delicious recipe and how quickly it goes together.
This year, Santa wants Bacon, and to share that message, I’ve partnered with Farmland Bacon. This post is sponsored by Farmland, but all opinions are my own.
![Santa wants bacon. If you love bacon as much as Santa does, you'll love these maple bacon pinata cookies. They're packed with a full piece of bacon in each slice-- perfect for Santa OR for your Christmas party or cookie exchange! BaconForSanta [ad]](http://i.imgur.com/LGIm9Ai.jpg)
Bacon. I love bacon. Like… so much. But the problem is, I never get any bacon– my son always insists on stealing it from my plate. I’m pretty sure stealing bacon means he should end up on the naughty list… right? Luckily for him, Santa has offered a very great way to, well… improve your chances of not being on the naughty list. It’s easy– just give him bacon. That’s why this year, I have an idea so you don’t have to compromise between the traditional milk and cookies (yum) and what Santa really wants for Christmas– BACON (even yummier). Maple. Bacon. Pinata Cookies. That’s right– bacon filled cookies with a hint of maple flavor. I’m not joking. There’s a full slice of delicious Farmland bacon in every cookie.

Just about every week now, we’ve been making it a priority to get out of the house for something other than school, work, and church. That means we’ve been enjoying a lot more meals at a nearby Italian chain. And the best part? I’ve gotten hooked on this delicious Chicken and Gnocchi soup. I’ve become such a fan that I had to figure out how to make it myself! You know what? It’s SUPER easy to make at home, and you’ll love this flavor, whether you’re serving it on it’s own or making it as a starter for your favorite pasta dish.

I love a good tailgating party. There’s just nothing like getting together with friends and enjoying good food before the big game each weekend! It doesn’t even matter which sport you support, because when you live in Kansas City, you have big dreams for post-season in baseball and soccer, just as the football season is hitting it’s stride, too. You know what Kansas Citians also love? Barbecue. Delicious, sweet, tangy barbecue. That means things like pulled pork and ribs are totally a staple in our area. I’ve shared my pulled pork recipe recently, but today, it is all about the ribs.

Can you believe it’s football season already? Now, I’ve been sharing some of my favorite tailgating recipes this fall, and trust me, this one is one you’ll want to add to the line up. When you’re cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs (or any of the other teams out there, but who’s paying attention to those, anyway? Ha!), you’ll love these Sweet Stuffed Pepper Bacon Bombs, but I also want to share a few of my favorite tailgating recipes from the Farmland Bacon Club, and tell you all about a really awesome sweepstakes from Farmland and the KC Chiefs that I know you’ll want to enter!
Tailgating season is upon us. Here in Kansas City, that means barbecue season. I mean, a Chiefs game, a Sporting KC game, they’re just not the same without some delicious shredded pork, drizzled with Kansas City style barbecue sauce, and slapped on a bun… thinking about the fall, tailgating season, pulled pork… it makes my mouth water! So when it comes to making the perfect side dish in KC, well, it needs to pair well with barbecue. This pasta salad works because not only does it pair well with barbecue, but it contains delicious, slow cooked pulled pork right there in the recipe. Now, I can’t tell you that this pulled pork pasta salad is a miracle or a lifesaver, but I can tell you that every member of my family went back for a 4th helping, so… well, you do the math.
I love a good side dish. You know, those sides that can take an average dinner of chicken breasts thrown on the George Foreman from good to, well, great. I like a side dish that is hearty, that helps stretch a meal (because come on, guys, you have to eat more than just meat, right?) and, most importantly, takes very little time, effort, and crazy ingredients to make. Luckily, this mushroom noodle bake has only 5 ingredients, takes just a few minutes to throw together before popping it in the oven, and pairs well with literally any meat dish. And hey, if you’re not a carnivore, it actually makes a pretty great vegetarian casserole option, too!
It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of chicken. And, ever since I started putting limes in my water, I’ve been trying to keep them on hand more. But last week when I was faced with planning meals, and realized I had more limes and chicken than I could use for water and casseroles, it was time to branch out… with some honey lime chicken!

I cannot believe Jeffrey is starting high school this year. While he’s still homeschooled, many of his friends, and our exchange student, are in public school, which means when school lets out around 3:00, our house becomes the social hub as all of his friends come over. It means we need snacks, LOTS of snacks, to satisfy the insatiable study group we have around our house these days. Luckily, I’ve come up with a foolproof snack that everyone loves. And, if you’ve got a Snack Hack using FarmRich and Walmart Fresh items, you could actually win $10,000, so keep reading and share YOUR back-to-school Snack Hack. Mine snack hack? Delicious barbecue chicken skewers with creamy ranch dip. With only 4 ingredients plus some herbs and spices you probably have on hand, it’s the perfect recipe for snack time.
This casserole is for breakfast. Wait! No. It’s for dinner. Wait! No. Brunch. Actually, it’s for anytime! This casserole won’t answer the age-old question of which came first, but it does put chicken and egg and hashbrown in one delicious casserole… which is pretty special, actually.
