Enchilada Burgers #SundaySupper

The best way to glam up a regular burger is to add enchilada fixings to it!

Today's Sunday Supper event theme is DINNER IDEAS USING GROUND BEEF. I immediately chose to share a burger. Burgers are one of my favorite things to make with ground beef and, in my opinion, one of the easiest and most versatile things to make with ground beef. I do not like to season ground beef with anything except a little salt and pepper for my burgers. As much as I love garlic, the second garlic touches the ground beef for a burger, I'm out. For me, it's all about the toppings to add more flavors to a burger.

These Enchilada Burgers are great because you can basically add any toppings that you would normally add to enchiladas or tacos. You can buy premade toppings (like pico de gallo, guacamole, enchilada sauce) or you can make your favorite recipe. So this burger can be "gourmet" or a quick, easy meal. It's really up to you and how much time you have on your hands.

Cheesy Cheeseburgers #SundaySupper

These burgers are not only topped with cheese, but have an ooey gooey cheesy center with a bit of a kick!

It's been a little while since I joined in for Sunday Supper Movement but I'm back today for the CHEESY DINNER IDEAS event. My family isn't too picky when it comes to cheese - as long as it isn't Swiss or Blue cheese, we'll eat it. I'm looking forward to all of the cheesy dinner recipes my fellow food bloggers share today and I am excited to share this recipe with y'all!

I have never been very skilled with making stuffed burgers or really burgers with any kind of ingredients mixed in. I somehow always mess them up. My burgers stick and fall apart. So I was very nervous to make these, even though the filling is just cheese. After testing this recipe, I found that a rectangle of cheese works better than a cube for the patties to cook more evenly and to lose less cheese in the middle. They turned out perfectly and eased my weariness toward stuffed burgers. I am definitely ready to try more recipes out, so if you have a favorite, please leave me a link below!

We loved having a bite of gooey spicy cheese in addition to all the traditional burger fixings. I tend to stick to having simple burgers and the toppings do the talking, so it was a nice twist to finally have a stuffed burger turn out well :)

Air Fryer Hot Wings #SundaySupper

Get ready for the easiest and best wings you'll ever have with these air fried buffalo wings!

Hello, everyone! Who is getting ready for the Super Bowl next week? Unfortunately, my Vikings didn't make it, but that's okay. It was still a really wonderful end to a great season. Can we still talk about how they barely scraped by with that 61-yd touchdown by Diggs in the Saints game?! I'm hoping the Eagles demolish the Patriots because if they are good enough to beat the Vikings, they had better beat the lousy Patriots :P Along with watching the game and enjoying the awesome commercials comes the amazing game day food! So for Sunday Supper today, all of us are sharing EASY FOOTBALL FOOD IDEAS FOR GAME DAY.

I was incredibly excited to receive an air fryer for Christmas from my husband. I first got to test it out on New Year's Eve with this amazing hot wings recipe. I literally picked the recipe last minute and modified the crap out of it because I was craving buffalo wings! Spicy wings! I took a recipe from a blog and subbed Nashville Hot Chicken seasoning that I found at Kroger in for the creole seasoning and omitted cumin altogether. The end result was the crispy, amazing wings. I wanted to eat them all. My husband was over-the-moon, claiming they were the best wings ever, and he requested I make them regularly. If you don't have an air fryer, you can still use the recipe and just cook in your preferred method.

Shepherd's Pie Potato Skins #SundaySupper

Your family will be on pins and needles waiting for this meal to hit the dinnertable!

If y'all have been around for a while, you know I participate in Sunday Supper often. What is Sunday Supper? It's a movement started by Isabel Laessig to inspire others to spend more time around the family table. Each week, a community of bloggers shares recipes from a particular theme. This month marks the 6th anniversary of the very first virtual Sunday Supper event and it's also Sunday Supper Month. Take the pledge and join the Sunday Supper Movement to bring back family dinners!

Since it is Sunday Supper Month, today's event is SUNDAY SUPPER RECIPES. These recipes are ones that may take a little longer to make and the whole family waits in anticipation to all gather around the dinner table and share together. This fits me so well because Sundays are days I have more time to make dinner and tend to make more time-consuming feasts on those days.

Today, I am sharing these Shepherd's Pie Potato Skins. On the surface, they sound like they would be an appetizer, but they definitely are a main course meal. It's definitely a different take on shepherd's pie where the potatoes become the vessel and they aren't in a casserole dish. I feel all the elements are very classic shepherd's pie but it is all about that crispy potato skin!

Pumpkin Molasses Cookies #SundaySupper

These chewy cookies are everything spice and nice and you won't be able to stop at one!

Today's Sunday Supper Movement event is BEST COOKIE EXCHANGE RECIPES. I jumped onto  this so quickly because I am in love with cookies and I love doing cookie exchanges. Really I love making cookies, especially at the holidays.

I originally found these cookies and they were named Pumpkin Gingersnaps. I didn't change the recipe, but I felt that they reminded me more of molasses cookies because they are thicker, crunchy on the edges, and soft and chewy in the middle. They definitely reminded me of my mom's molasses cookies that were my childhood favorite.

These pumpkin molasses cookies were so puffy and chewy and I loved every bit of them. I ate entirely too many and I'm seriously considering making another batch and hiding them, because as it turns out, Nick and Cami also really really like them.

These cookies, I feel, would be best for an in-person cookie exchange. But if you do want to send them, I suggest buying some inexpensive plastic food storage containers at a dollar store, so that there is a little protection while getting sent through the mail.

Meatball and Orzo Soup #SundaySupper

This turkey meatball and orzo pasta soup is such a comforting meal and reminiscent of Italian wedding soup!

Good morning, everyone! I'm back for yet another Sunday Supper Movement event. Today's theme is COMFORT FOOD SOUP AND STEW RECIPES, which means I'm about to have at least a dozen new recipes to try on Wednesdays. I am such a happy camper because although I have plenty of soup recipes already, I tend to gravitate towards a handful of recipes.

Today, I decided to share this meatball and orzo soup. I think that my family liked it so much because it reminded us of Italian wedding soup.

Pot Roast Stroganoff #SundaySupper

The slow cooking of this pot roast makes for a melt-in-your-mouth stroganoff!

I've been on a roll lately making tons of recipes for Sunday Supper Events. Today's event is going to be very high on my list of favorites: COMFORT FOOD PASTA. I am a pastaholic. I have to ration myself to two times a week or I'd weigh a million pounds because I have no self control. Spaghetti weeks are hard because I always make enough to feed an army and then I eat it for lunch for the whole week because I'm ridiculous like that. Spaghetti is my favorite favorite. But I also love stroganoff. I actually wasn't a fan until I was in my teens and had my mom-in-law's stroganoff, which is the bomb dot com.

Since trying hers many many years ago (10+), I knew that I was fine with homemade stroganoff - which I have also discovered about a lot of foods. I just prefer homemade versions to whatever other versions (from a box, tv dinner, a school lunch, etc.) are out there. I was definitely intrigued when I discovered this recipe because I also love love love pot roast and I thought that it sounded wonderful to have pot roast cook down and break apart into smaller pieces rather than buy beef stew meat, which can sometimes get a little tough. So it's a win all-around really. There is no tough meat or chopping the meat up. It is a ridiculously tender stroganoff and I really loved the addition of dill to the spices. That bit of sour with the savory flavors of beef, garlic, and onion was simply fantastic.

Slow Cooker Pesto Mozzarella Chicken Pasta #SundaySupper

This crockpot meal is buttery, cheesy, and full of pesto goodness!

I am so excited for this week's Sunday Supper Movement theme: SLOW COOKER COMFORT FOOD RECIPES. I decided to share this meal because pesto is my ultimate comfort food at the moment. I basically crave pesto pasta. Although this recipe isn't made completely in the crockpot, cooking the pasta only dirties one more dish, so that's not 100% inconvenient. Not that inconvenient at all. :) I just love how buttery pesto-y this pasta gets. Plus all the cheese! I'm looking forward to  a ton of the recipes that my fellow Sunday Supper bloggers have shared because they are so diverse!

1970s Style Tacos #SundaySupper

These tacos are homemade with the perfect mix of spices to bring up a feeling of nostalgia

I'm on a roll for posting with Sunday Supper Movement and today's event is EASY TACO RECIPES FOR NATIONAL TACO DAY. National Taco Day is coming up on October 4th and although my family won't be celebrating on Wednesday, we will definitely be raising a taco up in celebration on Tuesday. I normally stick to just ground beef and a packet of taco seasoning, plus the fixings for Taco Tuesdays, but occasionally, I like to mix it up a little bit and make a recipe from scratch.

What I love about these 1970s Style Tacos is that they do taste like an authentic old-fashioned taco recipe. The cayenne is optional, although I didn't list it as such because I love a hint of spiciness in my tacos! But overall, these are seriously wonderful and they aren't painstakingly difficult nor do they require much more steps than making "regular tacos" - the payoff is definitely worth making them with multiple spices rather than a premade packet of seasonings.

Pumpkin Spiced Cream Cheese Rolls #SundaySupper

These mini rolls have a pumpkin cream cheese filling and are topped with a decadent cream cheese frosting

Today's Sunday Supper event has me squealing with joy because it's SIMPLE PUMPKIN RECIPES. This time of year is my favorite because it's acceptable once again to love pumpkin - even though I love it all year round. I never stop loving pumpkin. I also love pumpkin spice too - the flavors of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice are so very fall to me. I've wanted to make this recipe from Picky Palate for so long and I finally got around to it to share this morning.

The recipe is very simple and doesn't take a lot of time or ingredients. I actually was able to use a partially used can of pumpkin puree from my fridge, so it worked out really well in my favor. I also added a touch of pumpkin spice on top of these rolls since they only technically contained a little cinnamon and nutmeg. Even though there were two cake pans of little mini rolls - these guys lasted all of one day for us. I kept going back to grab one and seeing fewer and fewer in the pan. Even my husband, the proclaimed "Not a huge sweets fan" was grabbing one or two here and there throughout the day. Definitely a winner in our household!

Loaded Cauliflower Casserole #SundaySupper

A healthier version of a loaded baked potato, this cauliflower casserole is a worthy substitute!

Today's Sunday Supper Movement event is CREATIVE CAULIFLOWER RECIPES and I found this loaded casserole recipe to be so creative. It doesn't taste exactly like a loaded baked potato, but it's very close and it kind of blew my mind. I was nervous serving it up because of the sour cream, but my husband, a self-proclaimed sour cream hater, had seconds and possibly thirds. This casserole just disappeared!

I feel like we, as a family, never eat cauliflower, even though we all really like it. I'm looking forward to all of the recipes from my fellow blogging pals. I still have yet to make a cauliflower pizza crust and I really want to. I'm secretly hoping there is a pizza crust recipe in the roundup since I love to make recipes from my friends' blogs :)

Copycat Hooter's Fried Pickles #SundaySupper

This fried appetizer is the perfect finger food for game day!

Today's Sunday Supper Movement theme is FOOTBALL PARTY FINGER FOOD. Because it's that time of year again! I chose to post these fried goodies because I would eat them for every event, whether that's football or a season finale of an epic show like Game of Thrones.

Last year, Nick, the kids, and I went to Zaxby's for the first time and immediately became obsessed with their fried pickles. They were seasonal, so they disappeared come fall and we were devastated. So we got to making tons of different recipes and trying to find one that we really loved. This recipe takes the cake! I have only been to Hooter's a handful of times and I don't believe I have had their fried pickles, so I can not speak as to how close the recipe is to theirs. However, I can speak to how absolutely delicious these are. This recipe is easily our favorite fried pickle recipe.

They don't take long to make and don't take a lot of effort, so they are perfect for football game parties!

Tex Mex Chicken Skillet #SundaySupper

This rice dish can be ready in under 30 minutes for your Taco Tuesday dinner!

Today's Sunday Supper event is SIMPLE RICE RECIPES FOR DINNER and I'm ready to find some new dinner recipes containing rice. I knew immediately that I wanted to share this Tex Mex Chicken Skillet. The ingredients list isn't too long. Honestly if you wanted to cut it down a bit, you could sub in taco seasoning mix for the spices. But all-in-all, it brings together some pretty simple ingredients to make a fantastic dinner.

I struggle with finding good chicken recipes for Taco Tuesday nights. A couple of Sunday Supper chats ago, we discussed meal planning a little and I shared how I do themed nights in order to meal plan my weeks. I meal plan a month in advance and I stick to this format for the most part: Pasta Mondays, Taco Tuesdays, Soup Night Wednesdays, Throwback Thursdays (make an old favorite), All-American Fridays (either pizza or burgers, I alternate Fridays), and then I make a more time-consuming dinner on either Saturday or Sunday. I alternate meats each day, so it's beef/sausage one day, and chicken, pork, or turkey the next. Sometimes, we'll eat tuna or have a meatless night, but it's more rare. A lot of people ask about if there is a dish that pops up that I'm not feeling like eating and I can say that I haven't run into that problem yet. I plan a lot of new-to-us recipes and there is always a variety, so it's rare that I don't want to eat a food that I'm making for dinner. I don't always stick strictly to my meal plan. Sometimes I fail to thaw meat out or something happens and I have to do a quick meal rather than a longer, more time-consuming meal and that is where I might switch up my recipes during the week. I utilize my blog archive, my Pinterest boards, and my recipe binder with magazine snipped recipes to pick recipes. I have used this method for quite a few years and it is what works best for me! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them!

Anyways, back on topic here, I struggle to find chicken recipes for Taco Tuesday because beef recipes are my favorite. I really enjoyed this chicken recipe and can see it being a regular on the meal plan.

Grilled Hasselback Fajita Chicken #SundaySupper

Impress all your guests when you grill this delicious hasselback chicken! 

Today's Sunday Supper Movement event is LABOR DAY MENU IDEAS hosted by Em Beitel. Labor Day is the last hurrah to celebrate summer and grill out, so I figured I would share one of my recent favorite grilled chicken recipes. I tried to make an effort to grill more this summer and this was by far my favorite favorite favorite recipe. It's pretty easy to prepare and, oh my goodness, is the payoff worth any little bit of preparation!

One Dish Taco Goulash #SundaySupper

This recipe is easy peasy and perfect for busy school nights.

Today's Sunday Supper Movement event is BACK TO SCHOOL DINNERS. In this event, you will find the perfect meals for busy school nights, so be sure to scroll to the bottom to see all the recipes for today. I decided to go with a one pot meal because to me, one pot/skillet/dish meals are the easiest recipes for busy nights. I hate doing dishes and I certainly don't want to do them after a really long, hectic day.

When I was a kid, we had a lot of the same foods over and over again and one of my favorites was goulash. My mom made it with a can of tomato soup, ground beef, onions, and pasta. Still to this day, I crave it every so often because it was such a staple for a fast, easy, inexpensive dinner. My mom definitely knew what she was doing. I love this variation of goulash because it's a little more hearty and it just right for Taco Tuesday.

Korean BBQ Steak Bowls #SundaySupper

Beef sirloin marinaded in a sweet and spicy Korean bbq sauce and served with veggies and crunchy wonton strips all in one delicious bowl!

Today's Sunday Supper Movement event is all for the dads: FATHER'S DAY MENU IDEAS. The event is hosted by of. I picked out a recipe that I recently made that my husband loved and I think most dads would enjoy: Korean BBQ Steak Bowls.

I have never made any Korean food or anything that closely resembles it. Nor have I ever had any Korean food, but I figured we would give it a go and see what happened. Everyone was instantly excited about it because we are all - yes, all of us, myself, Nick, the big kids, and the toddler - obsessed with Korean pop music right now. The big kids wanted to listen to kpop while we ate the Korean style food. According to Wiki (fingers crossed that it's correct), this version of Korean bbq is Bulgogi because it is beef sirloin. Beef tenderloin is also bulgogi.

I was intrigued by the ingredients of the marinade/dressing and was also a little nervous because we had a few new ingredients that I had never used or tasted. But in the end, Kroger came through and had mirin and spicy chili paste and the recipe turned out wonderfully. The marinade was sweet and spicy and garlicky. Simply wonderful. I really enjoyed having the meat atop some veggies. The Wiki article also said it can be served over a green onion salad, over lettuce with cucumbers and peppers, or even in lettuce as a wrap!

I hope all the dads out there have a wonderful Father's Day!

Chicken and Broccoli Shells and Cheese #SundaySupper

Not just a box of boring macaroni, this shells and cheese recipe is homemade with love and broccoli!

Today's Sunday Supper Movement event is KID FRIENDLY VEGETABLE RECIPES and is hosted by Anne of Simple and Savory. I am thankful that my big kids love vegetables, so I've never really had to hide vegetables in food. My youngest is currently in his beige food stage, but I have high hopes that he will also love vegetables as much as the rest of us do. I really attribute the big kids being so open to vegetables because Nick and I eat basically every vegetable there is.

I think both of the big kids love broccoli the most and love when I fix shells and cheese with broccoli added to it. I know a lot of kids will eat vegetables if they have cheese on it, so this recipe is really good for picky eaters too. I personally think you could adjust the amount of broccoli if it makes your picky eaters side eye all the green, but we love lots and lots of broccoli, so we needed it all! I am really excited to see what my fellow Sunday Supper bloggers have to share because I put veggies in everything!

White Chocolate-Filled Snickerdoodles #SundaySupper

Not your average snickerdoodle, a bite into these cookies reveals a creamy white chocolate filling!

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there - whether you gave birth to your kid(s), adopted them, or are a stepmom, you are amazing and wonderful! Today's Sunday Supper event is MOTHER'S DAY MEAL hosted by Amy of My World Simplified and I went the sweets route, specifically white chocolate-filled snickerdoodles.

Snickerdoodles are one of my favorite kinds of cookies and I will never shy away at an opportunity to add chocolate to a dessert. I think they are a great cookie to have with a cup of coffee and that is something that typically happens when my husband's family comes over. All of us ladies grab a cup of coffee and sit around the table and gab. I also think cookies are a wonderful dessert to have because the portions are small (so guiltfree, right?!) and they keep well, so if you have leftovers (pbbt!!!), they don't have to be eaten the next day or anything.

I was so impressed with how easy this variation of snickerdoodles was but also how huge of a difference that little bit of creamy white chocolate made overall. I really loved them fresh from the oven while the chocolate is all melty and warm, but they are still so good when the chocolate sets a little.

Chrissy's Cobb Salad #SundaySupper

This Cobb Salad is the perfect summer salad with the addition of sweet corn!

Hello and welcome to another Sunday Supper event! This one is SUMMER DINNER SALAD RECIPES. Corn is one of those things that has always screamed summer to me. I grew up in the middle of nowhere Minnesota surrounded by cornfields. It was a normal occurrence for me to walk to main street (a block away from my house) and buy sweet corn from the back of someone's truck.

This cobb salad comes from Chrissy Teigen's cookbook, Cravings. I adore it. I find it rare that a cookbook would have all the recipes that I would want to make and eat. I definitely find it disappointing when I get a cookbook that I am really excited about and then I only want to make three or four recipes in it. Cravings is a treasure trove of amazing food. Chrissy's Snapchat is one of my favorite things, purely for her food snaps.

In the cookbook, this Cobb Salad recipe comes with avocado and honey mustard ranch dressing as well. I believe I had mine with a citrus vinaigrette, so just top yours with whatever you want to top it with. Per Chrissy's suggestion, I made my bacon in the oven topped with garlic and it was amazing. If you're looking for a new cookbook, I highly recommend Cravings. Everything I have made from it so far has been so delicious! Plus her anecdotes throughout the cookbook are just absolutely hilarious.

Cheesy Chicken Caprese Pesto & Quinoa Casserole #SundaySupper

Classic caprese flavors in a wonderful chicken and quinoa casserole

Hello, everyone! I am back for another Sunday Supper Movement event. Today's event is hosted by Rini of Healing Tomato and the theme is RECIPES USING FRESH TOMATOES. I immediately thought of this dish because it is one of my more recent favorites. I initially made it without pesto, but I feel the pesto really adds a depth of flavor it was missing prior to. Plus I have been on a very big pesto kick lately. It honestly doesn't matter what I'm trying to eat...a sandwich, pasta, pizza, etc., I've probably put pesto in or on it. I personally think this casserole would also be great with ground turkey or beef or even Italian sausage.

Don't forget to check out the recipes at the bottom of the post from my fellow Sunday Supper Movement blogger friends!
