Sloppy Joe's

Not gonna lie.

I don't like Sloppy Joe's.

It's like mush on a bun.

Gross.

The Mr. and my cherub's "Love" Sloppy Joe's.

Thanks to Mimi, they get Sloppy Joe's.

Yeah, Mimi!

Mimi has a friend that makes homemade Sloppy Joe's.

Now, Sloppy Joe's don't seem so bad.

Really!

I don't crave them or anything, but when push comes to shove and I need an easy dinner and I want the family to be happy -- I'll make Sloppy Joe's!

That's right!  Personal preference pushed to the side all for the sake of the family.

That's just the kind of woman I am.

Enough.

You know what I like about this recipe?

Two things:
  1. It doesn't come in a can (i.e., "Manwich" -- not knockin' it -- just sayin'!)
  2. Her directions say "heat and eat!"  Great for a busy night!

Marcia's Sloppy Joe's

1 lb. ground beef
6 oz. can tomato paste*
Barbecue sauce*
Water
Buns*
Brown and drain ground beef .

Stir in tomato paste. Fill empty tomato paste can with barbecue sauce; dump it in. Half fill empty can with water, or a little more if you like it thinner, (and we don't -- we prefer "thick sloppy Joe's) and pour it in.

Heat. Eat.  (That's exactly how she had it typed.  "Heat.  Eat."  I like it -- to the point!)

*This is very easily made gluten free by using the ingredients that you know are safe for your diet.

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!

Chicken and Artichoke Casserole

Picture from Cooking with Paula Deen ( . . .and aren't those cute dishes!) We first had this delicious casserole on Mother's Day while feasting at "Dining on Persimmon Hill," which is a restaurant at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK.  Side note --- if you have the chance to visit the Museum, please take advantage of the opportunity.  It is a wonderful experience!  And don't forget to eat at the museum restaurant.  It's delish! So back to the casserole.  After eating it we knew we had to find out the recipe!  The owner of the restaurant graciously shared her secret!  It's a Paula Deen; which means it's full of fat AND yummy flavor! This casserole is a hit with my cherubs and the Mr.  Also, whenever I make it for friends, they always want the recipe . . . maybe they're just being nice, I'm not sure!  When you look at the recipe, you might think it's a pain, but really, it is so easy!  Especial
