Crispy Tater Wedges In The Oven
Need an awesome side dish? Maybe you just want a tasty salty midnight snack!? These crispy tater wedges will hit the spot. I love to make these for my family for a side dish with dinner, but I especially love these for a late night snack. Pre-heat that oven to 450F. Peel and wedge-cut the potatoes. Toss in bowl with olive oil, salt and pepper. You can really amp them up with garlic and parmesean cheese or even with dry ranch mix. Place on a cookie sheet {I recommend putting down foil first to help with a fast clean-up} on their sides. Bake for 20-22 minutes. I dont tend to…

Smoking the Pork Butt
I LOVE PULLED PORK…..Smoked pulled pork is even better. So here we will go over smoking pulled pork at home. Last year my darling husband bought me a Masterbuilt Bluetooth Electric Smoker and I have been working on mastering the art of smoking meat. I am definitely not a master of it but I am learning and enjoying every moment of it. Yes, I named my smoker Sir Smokesalot! The app for my smoker recommended naming it, so it had to be something fun! haha First thing I do is preheat my smoker. I set the temperature to 240F to get it going while I prep my pork butt. I…

Coleslaw Made Right
I like coleslaw but I am pretty picky about what kinds I like. My favorite kind of coleslaw is like what KFC has. Its sweet and crunchy, but not overly vinegary. This is coleslaw made right! I found this recipe on AllRecipes.com that I adapted to achieve the kind of slaw that I wanted. I dont ever have buttermilk on hand nor do I want to buy it just for one recipe. And you can achieve the same thing by mixing milk with lemon juice. 16 oz package of Coleslaw mix 1/3 C white sugar 1/4 C Milk 2/3 C Mayonaise 1 1/2 Tbsp White Vinegar 2 1/2 Tbsp Lemon…

Subscription Addiction
Y’all I have a serious problem! I am so addicted to subscription boxes! Eek! They make me so happy to open up a box that is full of surprises and all at a discounted price! My latest subscription box is Ellie. I got a 3 piece premium workout outfit for less than the price of a premium workout top. What I love about Ellie is that at the beginning of each month I get to choose from different options/styles that are available. You also have the option to skip the month if none of the options appeal to you. For the leggings, which are squat proof quality; a sports bra,…
