Our Favorite Corned Beef Recipe

We are not Irish and we're not big on St. Patrick's Day but both my husband and I love corned beef!

We only eat it once a year around St. Patrick's Day so I'm always hesitant to play around with a new recipe.  Why mess with perfection?  The recipe is one I have used for years and it adds so much flavor and texture to the corned beef that we really do think it is the best around. 


Ingredients needed:
Corned beef
Yellow mustard
Brown sugar


1. I do start by boiling the corned beef for 2-3 hours like the package recommends but I don't bother using the spice packet.  

2. When it's done boiling, I remove the corned beef and add cabbage, carrots and potatoes to the water; bringing it back to a boil until the vegetables are tender. 

3. I put the corned beef on a broiler pan and add a brown sugar/ mustard glaze.  Since I tend to buy a small corned beef I usually just mix 1/4 cup brown sugar and 2 Tablespoons mustard. But you don't have to be fussy with the amounts. As you mix them together the mustard will soften the sugar and it becomes like a thick syrup/ thin paste. You just want a spreadable consistency. 

4. I make sure to evenly coat the outside!

5. Then I broil the corned beef for 15 minutes or so until there is a crunchy golden outside to it!




I drain the vegetables and slice the beef; then it's all ready to eat.  The mustard and brown sugar add a nice flavor with just a hint of a crisp!

It's delicious and only takes a few extra minutes.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mainly through

Things That Make Me Laugh

I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my boys were youn

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the white
