Sausage and Parmesan Cheese Grits

Sausage and Peppers With Parmesan Cheese Grits Recipe
Picture from "My Recipes."

I found Italian sausage on sale a few weeks ago while at the grocery store.

My boy cherub really likes Italian sausage.

He really likes the Italian sausage and peppers that I make.

But I wasn't in the mood for that the other day.

I was in the mood for grits.

Which is weird.

I don't really ever crave grits.

But I was that day.

And since I was the one cooking, I gave in to my wants.

That's the beautiful thing about "owning" the kitchen!

So I thought, "Self!  Italian sausage and grits would probably taste really good together!"

And since I'm smart enough to think of it, I was rather certain that someone else had already thought of it too!

That started my google search!

And sure enough!  Someone had already figured it out for me!

I love that!

I found a recipe that sounded great and I made it for dinner and the whole family liked it.

It was also great reheated for leftovers.

And I'm NOT a leftover girl.

I pawn those off to the cherubs for their lunch, remember?

But for this recipe, I was the one having it for lunch the next day!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out! But because these are simple ingredients, you'll be able to throw it together in a moments notice!

Creamy Poblano Chicken Dinner

Picture used from "My Recipes.com" My picture didn't look nearly as appetizing! We've been eating this since the late 90's. Oh man!  That sounds like we're really old! This is one of those fantastic Southern Living Recipes that looks really hard, sounds really gourmet-ish, and is so easy! Whenever the Mr. requests his birthday dinner, it's always this meal! He had his 43rd birthday yesterday! To go along with his new "older" age, we recently counted the number of doctors he has. Yes, doctors! Right now in life, it's not his social outlet to visit these physicians on a regular basis . .  .but none-the-less, he has a well-rounded network of doctors that can take care of any need of his, ranging from his head to his toes. What a treat it is to get older. But with getting older comes this meal! Serve this with a green salad and dessert and you'll be the hit of the party! Creamy Poblano Chi
