If I can do it, you can do it!
What excites me about cooking main dishes? I really enjoy seeing the faces of my friends brighten up as they take a bite of some dish I prepared. When we have been working all day and our bellies are empty, there is nothing quite like a plate of yummy food. I love food and more particularly food that tastes good. It is fun experimenting in the kitchen and coming up with flavor profiles that dance on the palette. I don’t always cook at home though. About once a month I get together with a group of people, “Foodie group”, and eat dinner at some place new. It is a great time for friends to be together enjoy one another’s company and of course eat.
About 70% of my blog is baking and desserts but I still found a place for my main dishes. Here you will find steak, hamburgers, pizza and more!

I am a huge fan of burritos. Shh, don’t tell anyone I still buy those “Tina’s” frozen burritos for like 50 cents on occasion for when I am feeling lazy, haha. Burritos are one of the most popular Mexican foods. With lots of variety. One of my favorite kinds to […]
Every year for my birthday, I get a group together of family and friends and do an over-the-top barbecue at my house. I don’t do hamburgers or hotdogs. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy each of those a lot, but that is classic bbq food. I go all out and […]
I am obsessed with this grilled honey mustard pork tenderloin recipe. It is one of my favorite things to make on the grill and for gatherings. I make it every year for my annual birthday barbecue. I got the idea from a very old episode of Grill it or Backyard […]

I am a huge fan of soups and stews. Especially during the cold months, which I will be honest isn’t very many here in Phoenix. One of my favorite stews to make is this super easy slow cooker beef stew recipe, that I make in my Crock-Pot. While I personally […]
