Homemade Sloppy Joe

A simple and just plain good homemade sloppy joe recipe that doesn’t take away from the ease of making dinner. Great make-ahead meal and perfect for your next picnic, bbq, or outdoor get-together.
For my Sloppy Joe recipe, I use my Everything BBQ Rub for the seasonings in my sauce. It adds sweetness and spice. The soy and Worcestershire sauces add amazing umami flavor and the pineapple is what gives it sweetness.

This recipe does use a lot of meat. Don’t worry, it’s a freezer-friendly meal! You can split this in half, eat one half and take the other half, let it get to room temp, and freeze it in a freezer-safe bag. -It will last 4 months in the freezer.

Everything BBQ Rub

This everything BBQ rub is perfect for beef, pork, lamb, chicken, and sloppy joes. I have used this on wings, beef and pork ribs, and even lamb ribs, and have found it to be incredibly universal and flavorful.

This makes a small batch of the bbq rub, to make quantity adjustments easier. If you double or even triple it, simply add the bbq rub to a mason jar, put the top on, and shake it up. You’ll always have it on hand.

Versatile Snack Bars

Confession… I sometimes have a hard time finding the balance between balanced meals, snacks, and time. It was far worse when I was younger and had a conventional job at a bank. But still, 2 more kids (nope, now it’s 3), several blog posts, and a craft business later (I don’t do the craft side of my business anymore, but I’m definitely not any less busy), I’m still trying to find a happy medium. I know many of you are out there with the same struggle. I realize this is very much a #firstworldproblem and hopefully, I don’t sound like I’m whining. Truly, I know that I am blessed to be where I am now in comparison to where I was and to be able to share with you all, but balance is key… and finding it is sometimes hard.

Recipe: Summertime Pasta Salad

I’m excited to share my latest take on pasta salad. This version is a simple and easy pasta salad that can be changed up to what you have on hand, making it a recipe for “Whatcha’ got in Your Fridge/Pantry”. This one I made to go with our BLTs. My eldest is not a pasta salad fan and even she ate this one (even the next day for lunch). This one can be changed a million ways, you can change the type of pasta, the meat, and the veggies. this is just what I wanted to use because I have leftover ham and broccoli.
