An easy, nourishing meal for those busy days!

Paul and Jennifer Doyle introduced us to this sandwich popular in California (and other places, I've learned!). Jennifer, who grew up in CA, and Paul, a Liverpudlian-turned-Californian-more-recently-turned-Hoosier were really excited to introduce us to this cut of beef and a much-loved recipe.

A quicker-cooking delicious meatloaf option!

I don't know if this recipe originated outside my family or not, but it was one of my favorite breakfasts growing up, and I still enjoy it today. My dad would make it sometimes, and his mom did as well.

I found this recipe online when searching for ways to use my crockpot sirloin tip roast leftovers. It was really easy and pretty quick to make, too. We enjoy Mexican cuisine at our house, and this is a recipe we'll likely have again!

Someone shared this recipe months ago on facebook, and I finally got around to trying it. My finished product didn't have sesame seeds added, but it still didn't disappoint!

Make your own pork breakfast sausage.

These subs are really easy to make, and taste delicious!

This BBQ recipe came from a 1960's homemakers compilation cookbook Alan's grandmother had. Mary uses this for her go-to recipe for many things barbecue, and this dish is one she would make for special Sunday dinners when we were growing up. Pork spare ribs are a cut that won't break the bank but will pack a lot of great flavor!

I found this recipe on a site called Pressure Cooking Today. There are a few more steps than just putting everything in the pot and letting it go, but the end product got a thumbs up from the husband!

Cook your soup bones in the crockpot to avoid heating your kitchen as much in the summer...then raid the garden for most of the remaining ingredients!

I am a fan of "simple" cooking. And this was definitely simple...I just made it up as I went! All this nutritious meat, eggs, and veggies all in one skillet makes both preparing and cleanup a snap.
