I’m home and mostly healed from my 13 hours of dental surgery! I really wanted something easy to make and easy to eat. I’m still doing the low carb thing, so Zucchini Lasagna it is! I didn’t even miss the pasta…as much as I thought I would. *cough* make your lasagnas with cheddar *cough* 1 […]
There are few dishes that are as comforting and hearty as chicken pot pie. This is my weeknight version. You can certainly make homemade crust, but store-bought works in a pinch and it’s a major hit with kids and adults alike! 1 Pie Crust 1 medium Egg; whisked 2 large Chicken Breasts; cubed 1 large […]
I was scrolling through Instagram and found a delicious looking sesame ginger dish. Sign me up! I decided on honey instead of the more traditional sugar and didn’t regret it one bit! I wanted something with a bit more pizzazz, so I made some turmeric five-spice scented rice to go with it. Match made inContinue […]

There is no price comparison when it comes to canned black beans and homemade. They’re so much richer in flavor and they’re not as hard as you think to make. You can also cook these in an InstaPot or slow cooker, but I prefer them on the stovetop. I definitely recommend cooking them with broth […]
Day 8 of the 8 week #PantryChallenge Breakfast for dinner! I wanted something a little lighter because I know I’m going to double in mass tomorrow. Did anyone else grow up eating Fried Cornmeal Mush with maple syrup and fried eggs? The whole pan set me back 20¢ and it makes 4-5 servings. I make […]
It’s my husband’s birthday today and when I asked him what he wanted he said green chile pulled pork enchiladas. He absolutely loved it! Pressure cooking the roast in my InstaPot saved me so many hours. Pork Filling: 2 lb Pork Shoulder Roast 1 ½ cup Onion; chopped 1 ½ cup Bell Pepper; cored & […]
This makes a whopping 16 large knots, so halving the recipe would be beneficial if you didn’t want that many. You can also freeze the dough before the first proof. Parmesan Herb Garlic Knots 4 cups All Purpose Flour 1 teaspoon White Sugar 2 ¼ teaspoon Active Dry Yeast 1 ½ teaspoon Salt 1 ½ […]
I bought these steaks to be my birthday dinner over a month ago, but then the whole covid thing happened so I tucked them away in my freezer. Well, tonight’s the night! My sense of taste is still a bit wonky, but it was good! Seared Pesto T-Bone Steak, Cinnamon Butter Baked Sweet Potato, South […]
Sometimes all you need is a big bowl of Italian pasta salad. It’s such an awesome way of using up the extra odds and ends in the kitchen. I had extra pasta, chicken and pepperoni that needed to be eaten so in they went! 4 ½ cups Pasta; cooked ½ cup Black Olives; sliced ½Continue […]

It’s been a rough day and this was so needed! Between the stresses of the holidays and daily life, this is a nice pick me up to help set you back on your feet. I only drink this cocoa on stressful days before Christmas. My only regret is that I didn’t have any cream to […]
