I’ve been feeling the need to eat a little lighter and healthier this week… just a little. 🙂 So, I made what I absolutely love making when that feeling hits – a soup! And, not just any soup. I made a creamy, comforting, yummy delicious soup that I’ll also be enjoying for the rest of […]
As you might have guessed, salmon is my favorite kind of fish out there. I make it a lot (see here!)! I thought I was getting to the point of running out of new ways to make it, until I realized I haven’t steamed it yet! I’d been wanting to try out the steaming basket […]
Soup! My all-time favorite meal. You can mix and meat and/or veg into a bowl with broth and it’s always delicious. Don’t believe me? Try any number of my 30+ soups I’ve made (recipes here)! This one is no exception. I used the leftover stock from Thanksgiving that I made and it made it that […]
Sometimes, Taco Tuesday calls for taco in soup form. 🙂 And today is that kind of day. I wanted a southwestern type meal, but wasn’t feeling traditional tacos. So, instead, I sliced the taco shells, baked them into crispy strips and made the inside of what would have been a taco into a soup. It’s […]
Anyone else cooking fatigued this time of year? Between the actual holidays and the holiday parties, I can’t really spend the time thinking about what to make on a boring weeknight. So, here’s another stupidly-easy dinner that takes all of 3 minutes to prep. You just dump it all in the instant pot, turn it […]
Want to make dinner tonight in less than 2-minutes? I sure do! My Instant Pot always makes that happen and tonight was no exception. Now, you know I love my Instant Pot (evident by my dozens of IP recipes here), but this might be one of my favorites because it’s so fast and easy to […]
My parents were in town visiting and I love to challenge my Dad’s taste-buds. He’s a real meat (or fish!) & potatoes kind of guy and never really tries anything new. But recently, he’s really been trying new things and I’m so proud of him!! Mongolian beef is one of the newest dishes of mine […]
I forgot to defrost the frozen chicken for dinner tonight… big mistake, right?! Well, no, actually! I have an Instant Pot, as I’m sure you know. And, you can cook completely frozen chicken to be fork tender in a matter of minutes. I’m going to show you how! Really, all you need is the frozen […]
Every couple of months, I go through a period of wanting to use up pantry and/or freezer ingredients. It’s both a good way to make sure you eat what you buy so you don’t waste money and also challenges me to think up new recipes with what I already have. Today, I was having a […]
We went apple picking over the weekend at Alstede Farms and have a TON of apples. They have an amazing farm where you can pick-your-own apples, pumpkins, sunflowers, veggies, do a hay ride, ride a pony…. it’s a huge place but super well run. So, we love to go there every Fall. While we picked […]
