These Healthier Bread Machine Hamburger Buns are made more nutritious by using white whole wheat flour, but they are just as soft and fluffy as the original. One day, my brother-in-law was craving Red Robin hamburgers, but the family just didn’t have time to go to the restaurant. Fortunately, he is not easily discouraged, so …

These Salsa Verde Chicken Quesadillas are easy to throw together for a quick lunch and are packed full of flavor and protein.

This Tomato Basil Grilled Cheese Sandwich combines fresh basil, juicy tomato slices, and melty cheese for the perfect summery lunch.  I have this fascination with food trucks. There’s a food truck rally in Tucson that is basically just a gathering of a bunch of food trucks at a particular time that moves around to different …

This Bacon and Egg Cheeseburger combines the best of both of the breakfast and dinner worlds into one amazing burger, perfect for a Father’s Day cookout! After many (many) hours of driving, Boots and I have arrived in Colorado to spend some much needed time with my family. We’re headed up to our family cabin …

It’s the last day of Meat Week! *sniff* I miss the burgers already. Today’s recipe is inspired by the local cuisine here.  Sonoran hotdogs are kind of a big thing here, and pretty much only here. They even featured them on the Tucson edition of Man vs. Food! A Sonoran hotdog is a bacon-wrapped hotdog …

My current favorite restaurant is Applebee’s. We usually try to find small, quirky, mom and pop places to eat when we’re not grabbing fast food, but Applebee’s has a few things that I just love. #1 – Red Apple Sangria. I love the stuff. They put a cute little toothpick with little balls of apple …

These delicious teriyaki turkey burgers make a wonderful weeknight dinner or addition to your summer barbecue, complete with a grilled pineapple ring! It’s day 3 of Meat Week!

It’s day 2 of Meat Week! Day 1 – Jalapeno Popper Burgers Day 2 – Rodeo Cheeseburgers Have you ever had Burger King’s Rodeo Cheeseburgers?  I was introduced to them years ago by an old boyfriend. He was all kinds of excited to introduce me to one of his favorite burgers ever, but when we …

Welcome to Meat Week! Like I said yesterday, the inspiration for this week came from a Destination America rep asking me to participate in their Meat Week, but I loved the idea so much that I decided to make it Meat Week here on So Very Blessed, too! My coworker and I were talking the …

Most of the time, I really like store bought bread. There are so many different varieties out there that I never get bored. But sometimes, homemade bread just ups the ante from a normal meal to a special one. It would be the perfect addition to a brunch. The fresh herbs in this quick bread …

This creamy egg salad recipe makes a perfect light lunch in a sandwich or on a bed of lettuce. It’s a great hardboiled egg recipe to use up leftover eggs!

I took Boots to Petsmart yesterday. I was looking for rawhide twists, so that I could give him his nightly treats at bedtime. Have you been down a dog treat aisle recently?  It sounds way more like human food than dog food to me!  They still have the weird ones like liver, but they also …

This recipe is super easy, but it has, what I like to call “fancification.”You could easily just call these turkey meatball sliders, but it just lacks that certain flare.  But, add “Asiago” to the title and it transforms the name it something that’s, well, fancified. Turkey meatball sliders. Asiago Turkey Meatball Sliders. See what I’m …

The smell of fresh bread dough is just heavenly, as is the smell of my …
