Believing in family dinners since 1991
Hi! I'm Leora. I am married to a fire captain (who is also the man of my dreams!), a mom to five grown kids, and a nana to five darling grandkids! I firmly believe in the importance of putting distractions away and sitting down together for family dinner, and doing so has been a tradition in our home ever since my husband and I got married 30 years ago. In fact, my children still come home often for family dinners, even though most are moved out of the house. My goal is to provide you with delicious recipes that you can share with your loved ones around the table. So, join my family for dinner, and pass your plates!
This chicken is to die for! It’s great for tacos, sandwiches, quesadillas… you name it! We used this chicken for tacos this week, and it was delicious. It’s marinated, then grilled. The result is moist, tender, and flavorful chicken. It’s spicy, smoky, tangy, and sweet, all bundled into one dish. Quick and easy, perfect for …
Looking for a delicious dinner, with little prep? These shrimp po’ boys are for you! My take on a New Orleans classic. My unique spice mix and remoulade sauce make this po’ boy one you won’t forget!
According to my family, this is the BEST cake they’ve ever had the pleasure to eat. It’s sweet and savory, and topped with the creamiest homemade strawberry whipped cream and my special balsamic drizzle. The cake is slightly crispy on the outside and super moist on the inside. Enjoy!
Looking for an upgrade to your regular burgers? I have the recipe for you! These Cajun burgers pack a little kick with my special sauce, and the pimento cheese adds another dimension to the flavor. Trust me, this is one burger recipe you’ll definitely want to try!
Carrots, bananas, and coconut? Sounds strange, I know. But trust me…. You will want to try this bread! According to my family, this is the most delicious version of banana bread that they’ve ever had. It’s moist with a slight crunch from the coconut. Yummy perfection!
These meatball sandwiches are easy to throw together, and they’re oh so delicious! The buns get toasted on the outside, the cheese melts just right, and the marina sauce…… Mmmm. You’ll love these!
My husband spent two years of his life in England, eating all the shepherd’s pie he could. However, when I made this a few nights ago, he excitedly proclaimed that THIS is the best shepherd’s pie he has ever had. Quite an amazing compliment, especially since I was competing with the UK! My secret? Guinness …
Anyone else love Cajun food? My family and I are obsessed! Something about the unique mixture of spices and ingredients has us hooked. Since my family loves Cajun food so much, I thought it would be fun to come up with my own jambalaya recipe. It has been a hit, and I’m sure it’ll be …
We take Saint Patty’s Day very seriously around our house. It has always been a favorite to celebrate, but it’s especially important to us ever since my husband became a bass drummer (and soon to be bagpiper!) for the Emerald Society. In fact, we travel to Dallas every year to participate in the huge Saint …
I have been making this dish for YEARS and it has always been a family favorite. Kid you not, any time I ask my kids what they would like for dinner, the answer is always, “Bacon pasta!” I hope your family loves this as much as mine!
