Brittany's PantryTraditional Meatloaf
The recipes that appear here are tested, reliable, honest, and usually fairly simple. Right? Right. Todays post is a perfect example of that; something I make regularly that always works, is always good, and is the basic classic recipe I always use. My one regret is the name. I know meatloaf is…
Bistro Braised Chicken
I would be remiss this week if I didn’t share this recipe, as it has become a favorite in our house this winter. In the last several months, while dealing with a particularly snowy winter here in central IL, I have been gravitating toward comfort food. I know I am not alone…
Baked Sweet Potatoes W/Apples & Onions
This recipe absolutely falls into the category of ‘Things I make without thinking about and therefore never post on the blog’. I have been making it so long and without any type of recipe that I never give it a second thought! And then someone asks me about it, assuming they can…
Fettuccini W/Sausage & Bell Peppers
As I look at this picture above, I can’t help but smile. Yes, it is a pile of saucy pasta with spicy sausage and fresh, sweet bell peppers (read: plate full of goodness) but that isn’t the reason for the grin stretching across my face. Ok. Fine. It is a part of…
Simple Beef Stew
The weather here has finally turned a bit chilly (woohoo!) so comfort food is what I’m all about. I am sitting on my couch as I type this and Eli, my four year old, is sitting at my feet and going through the ToysRUs catalog that came in the mail today. He…
Homemade Taco Seasoning Mix
This is just a simple recipe I am sharing. No grand story, no anecdotes. Just a practical list of ingredients that you may use to replace the chemical laden alternative in the little pouches on the grocery store shelves. But remember. This will not taste like the salty packets you are used…
Sweet Potato Hash
I made this for dinner last night and my husband was very upset with me. Not because we had Sweet Potato Hash for dinner, but because I was making it while he was on the treadmill. He came up from the basement, panting and sweaty, with a scowl on his face. “Are…
Creamy Tomato Soup
So. If you are a regular reader of Brittany’s Pantry, you know that I am not the biggest fan of soup. My husband and kids? Yes. Me? No. Unless it is ice cream, I would rather eat meals that require a fork. However, if you know that about me, you also know…
My ‘Go To’ Sloppy Joe
One of the reasons I started blogging was because people would regularly ask me to pass along the recipes that I make all the time; recipes that were my ‘go to’ recipes because they were simple, straight-forward, and tasted good. Well, BEHOLD! This recipe is just that. Classic and great using regular…
Caramelized Onion Crostini
A little over a week ago I posted a How To recipe for Caramelized Onions and promised to post an additional recipe using them. Well, I wasn’t fibbing! And I have even more ideas-ideas up the wahzoo!-so brace yourself for a sweet onion overload. Something on the list below has got to…
How To: Caramelize Onions
It has been awhile since I have done a How To post, but not for lack of ideas! Just lack of time. I have a list of different How To sort of ‘tutorials’, if you will, that I am very excited to post here for your cooking pleasure. And I am finally…
Hobo Dinners
I am going to try to explain how happy this post makes me. This meal, a Hobo Dinner, is the kind of thing that will make your wallet happy (you can easily feed four people for less than 5 bucks), will keep your house cool when the temperature rises, and will break…
Root Beer Baked Beans
The above picture is a little bowl of hearty goodness. Even if you are not a baked beans fan, this recipe is a standout dish that you will want to make frequently. It has already been added to my list of summer menus, and I have plans to bring it as a side…
Black Bean Salsa
If you happen to be looking for a new recipe for the upcoming sporting event this weekend, well, your search is over. For me personally, it is less about the actual game (I don’t even know who is playing) or the halftime show (the last time I watched it Janet Jackson had…
Beef Bourguignon: Just call me Julia…
I’m back! After a quick and brief hiatus which included but was not limited to doctors appointments, way too many trips to the pharmacy to get prescriptions after said appointments, an unexpected trip to mourn the passing of a friend, and really just general exhaustion, I am back on track and in the…
Love a Good Recipe?
Then you’ve come to the right place! I’m Brittany, and I share tested, trusted recipes you’ll love. I prepare & photograph food, obsess over the perfect recipe, and enjoy grins of delight when I serve up something awesome. Enjoy!
