Creamy Thyme Chicken and Mushrooms

April 13, 2016 / Updated May 31, 2020 / By Wendi Spraker

Creamy Thyme Chicken and Mushrooms

This post sponsored by Vovetti Prosecco. Here we have the perfect upscale dish that is ready in a flash for a garden party! We have a lot to do and we don’t have time to be hanging out in the kitchen all day! It IS spring after all - even though some of us saw some OF THAT WHICH SHALL NOT BE NAMED this weekend. When Sweet hubby, Mr. Loaves and Dishes saw the solid form rain, he said, “Hey … [Read more...]

Pork Pepper Kabobs

April 7, 2016 / Updated May 31, 2020 / By Wendi Spraker

Pork Pepper Kabobs @www.loavesanddishes.net

This is a sponsored post by Collective Bias for Smithfield Pork. I'm going to admit it, right here, right now. Lately, I’ve been TIRED! I have been working hard and not feeling like cooking dinner. Yet, when I roll in the door, I really would like to have something tasty for dinner! I have a feeling that you might know exactly what I am talking about! It’s probably verging on too much … [Read more...]

Balsamic Mango Red Onion Salad

April 5, 2016 / Updated July 1, 2025 / By Wendi Spraker

Balsamic Mango Red Onion Salad www.loavesanddishes.net

As someone who has said, “Fruit in your green salad? …. Ewwww!” or “I think the world would be better without that particular combination of foods - just keep your fruits and your green vegetables separate please”, I should probably be ashamed. I usually fancy myself as a socially liberal but financially conservative person (I’ll sidebar to say that this has led me down a strange path into … [Read more...]

Crockpot Cheeseburger Soup

March 26, 2016 / Updated July 1, 2025 / By Wendi Spraker

Crockpot Cheeseburger Soup www.loavesanddishes.net

My cup is always more than half full! Guess what happens when I am sick? I learn about all kinds of new TV programs that I might never have discovered! I think I told you one time before about how I had been binge watching Ramen Noodle cooking shows on Netflix (food GEEK!) and that has metamorphosed into chef shows on Netflix (more food GEEK!). I am IN LOVE with this 6 part series called Chef’s … [Read more...]

Crockpot Cheesy Potato and Chicken Soup

March 18, 2016 / Updated March 10, 2025 / By Wendi Spraker

Crockpot Cheesy Potato and Chicken Soup

Today, we, (meaning sweet hubby [Mr. Loaves and Dishes] and I ) are on day 8 of what we could lovingly call “a cold” but for these writing purposes, I’ll just call it “THE snotty coughing death”. And while I had some lovely recipes planned that included a new spaghetti dish as well as a pizza dish perfect for spring this week, instead I am finding I only have the energy to prepare this quite … [Read more...]

Four Cheese Pasta Bake

March 11, 2016 / Updated May 31, 2020 / By Wendi Spraker

four cheese pasta bake @www.loavesanddishes.net

  I have actually dreamed about this Four Cheese Pasta Bake. Yeah, I know. That little statement probably gives you some insight into stuff you might not really want to know about me and my slightly junky and cookbook filled brain. Unless you have plopped yourself down in a comfy restaurant booth after a long day when the weather is gray and rainy and your mental forecast looks just as dim … [Read more...]

Garlic Bacon Bok Choy

March 4, 2016 / Updated August 13, 2020 / By Wendi Spraker

Garlic Bacon Bok Choy

I am in a silly mood today - and that goes great with Garlic Bacon Bok Choy, because I mean, just say the word “Garlic Bacon Bok Choy”. Doesn’t that make you laugh a little? If not, maybe you should have the week I’ve had - everything gets funny when you are tired. What isn’t funny is the taste of this dish. Garlic Bacon Bok Choy heaven! … [Read more...]

Pinky Out

March 2, 2016 / Updated May 31, 2020 / By Wendi Spraker

Pinky Out www.loavesanddishes.net

I know. I know. This is a family site! What is an alcoholic beverage doing on a family site? Well, let me tell you, sometimes Mama needs a drink! Last Saturday night after the wedding festivities I was certainly ready for something! The whole gang met at Milners (I’ve told you about that lovely place before) and because my curiosity got the best of me, I ordered a Basil Cucumber Margarita. … [Read more...]
