Cheesy Garlic Twists | This Is Why I’m Full

These Cheesy Garlic Twists are so good! They are the only thing the hubby and I make to go with our pasta now, the dough is really easy to make and even better tasting! It doesn’t even have to be pasta, they go well with many different dishes. We made them to go with our homemade pizza as well! They would even be great with chicken pot pie or a delicious steak dinner! We use quick rise yeast, so that cuts down on the prep time but even though it takes awhile  they are so worth the work that goes into making them!

Chicken Broccoli Crescent Roll Bake|This Is Why I’m Full

This Chicken Broccoli Crescent Roll Bake is another one of those things I saw on Pinterest and just had to try! Ours didn’t end up being very pretty, and my goofy Hubby forgot to take a picture after it was sliced up (he takes 99% of the pictures you see on here!) so I can’t show the gooey cheesy deliciousness that is inside of these crescent rolls, but trust me, it was delicious!

Steak and Potato Tacos

Steak and Potato Tacos|This Is Why I’m Full

These delicious Steak and Potato Tacos are sure to be a winner with every family member! Easy to make, and crazy delicious you will never want to make another taco recipe again! For me the most important part of these tacos was the potatoes, you can use frozen if you want to, hash browns or french fries will do the trick, but not for me!
I’m an over-achiever when it comes to potatoes, as you will see with my Twice Baked Potato Extravaganza! that I will be posting eventually. Anyway, for these tacos I planned to use store-bought frozen potatoes, but then I remembered the bag of potatoes sitting on the kitchen floor and I decided to make my own! In the past I have tried making fresh hash browns or home fries to go along with breakfast food, none of them worked out super well but for these Steak and Potato Tacos I decided to play it smart.
I both boiled and baked some potatoes, just to figure out what would work better, and I figured why not, I can just use the leftovers for another meal! Well, long story short the baked potatoes are what we ended up using for our Steak and Potato Tacos, they hold together much better and have that firm texture I was looking for!

Crock Pot Black Pepper Ribs

Crock Pot Black Pepper Ribs|This Is Why I’m Full

The hubby was shocked when we were going through the grocery store one day and I told him that I had never eaten ribs. He knew of my aversion to chicken wings (I am always afraid I will choke on a bone, crazy, I know) but I had neglected to mention that this dislike had also kept me from trying ribs. So he set about making me change my mind about them and with these Crock Pot Black Pepper Ribs he succeeded!
I will admit, I went into this meal with a lot of trepidation.. I was really worried that I would chip a tooth on a bone or something, I’m weird like that! I tried the meat right off the bone but after a few bites I started eating with a fork, they were delicious but just my luck something would happen and so I just gave up and forked them!
We made some Beer Battered Onion Rings to go along with these and those flavors were fantastic! The whole meal was delicious really. I can’t wait to make ribs again! (I will still eat them with a fork, I can’t help my nature!)

Cheesy Garlic Knots

Cheesy Garlic Knots|This Is Why I’m Full

I love bread. Almost as much as I love Potatoes, and that’s saying something because I would eat potatoes every day if I could! The Hubby and I went through a homemade pizza phase awhile back and these Cheesy Garlic Knots are a byproduct of that delicious few weeks!
I don’t know if you have ever made your own pizza dough, but we have and the one thing we have found is that we always had extra dough and not enough toppings, and that’s why we ended up making these Cheesy Garlic Knots! They were a great breadstick to go along with our puzza and they reheated perfectly with our pasta the next day, so delicious!
