It’s almost time for the Tennessee Titans to take the field! I know ya’ll didn’t peg Loaves and Dishes for a football site – but we gotta be IN THE KNOW about football food – don’t you think? What could be hotter for Nashville’s own Tennessee Titan’s opening day tailgating than Nashville Hot Chicken Wings? …
I DID eat some diet food! While I was waiting for this Pepperoni Meatball Sub Casserole to bake! The diet food is called a salad and it goes perfectly with this Pepperoni Meatball Sub Casserole. The best news is that salads are easy to fix and this Pepperoni Meatball Sub Casserole is too making dinner …
I think there is a rule about how many pork roasts one can make in a single week. I have now broken that rule. I’m embarrassed to say, I still can’t get enough. The Sprakers might be eating Slow Cooked Crock Pot Cuban Sandwich again in the next few days, don’t tell the Sweet Hubby, …
We all need to know how to make an easy dinner for 30 people, right? I have the perfect recipe that will allow you to be running around your party filling up drinks, giving directions to the bathroom and making pleasant conversation rather than sweating over a stove or a grill – doesn’t that sound …

What could be more fun than grilling out in the beautiful springtime weather? Nothing! This week we had a little “close friends party” celebrating some happy life …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
We are on a budgeting adventure at my house! It is a real challenge. We are experimenting with living without cable TV and some other things previously considered necessities (like fewer gigs of phone data). It is definitely a new adventure. Now, mind you, we aren’t going without TV type entertainment, oh no. We have …
If you follow me on Facebook, you will know that three weeks ago I sent out a message into the wide world that said, “I created a great new recipe tonight, but I can’t share it with you yet because we ate every bite before I could take pictures”. Well, HERE IT IS!! Later than …
This is a post sponsored by my friends at Ragu. You probably know this by now. I really don’t like to cook something more than a few times. I’ve told ya’ll repeatedly that we rarely eat the same thing more than twice in a year. That said, I do have some easy recipes that I …
Will it stunt a child’s growth if they eat Easy Breakfast Casserole about once per week for dinner for their entire childhood? I can attest. No, they will grow up perfectly healthy. I have three living examples to prove it. Seriously – at least once per week – yeah, I’m not proud. “Her poor children, …
I’ll admit it. No one is going to come breaking down your door to get at a baked potato. Well, except me maybe. Baked Potatoes are one of my all-time top-ten favorite foods – especially if you add some whole cream butter, salt and pepper, sour cream and sharp cheddar cheese. Do I have your …
TODAY friend, I am super excited to give you an awesome recipe for perfect fried chicken. I have searched,no kidding, for a perfect fried chicken recipe for about 25 years…. at least 25 years. I have tried frying chicken every which way there is and I have NEVER been able to develop a thick crispy …
I know. I know. As you are reading this recipe, you are thinking, “My GOD, what is that woman trying to do to her family and guests with all of that cream, cheese, cream cheese and (gasp) cheese food?” In my own defense, I have to tell you, this began innocently enough many years ago- …
