Creamy Ranch Pork Chops
My husband really likes pork chops and we haven’t had them in a while. When I saw some nice, thick ones at costco, I threw a package in the cart to make a couple meals. Ranch mix could be used instead of the dried spices to make this recipe even easier. Let’s Get Crafty! Ingredients:…
Jalepeno Popper Chicken Casserole
I’m always up for trying a jalapeno popper recipe and one similar to this caught my eye a while back. Most of the other recipes I’ve seen use pasta rather than hashbrowns. On the first time we made it, I used hashbrowns because I had two partial packages in the freezer that I wanted to…
What did we eat for dinner this week? 10.22.22
I started my blog 8 years ago just before our middle kiddo was born. As I shifted my blog to its new home, I realized that I have nearly 400 blog posts! During the transition – I went through each of them one by one to assign categories and tags. It was fun to think…
Extra Large Batch of Spaghetti Sauce
I love stocking up our pantry and freezer during the fall as fresh produce is plentiful and so tasty. We love to can salsa and do that each year but this year I have been brainstorming other things we could do. You know how I love my freezer… so I’m not canning the spaghetti sauce…
Instant Pot Corn Chowder
Yay for fall time being upon us! We have had a glorious couple of days where the temps fell and it has been amazing outside. Each fall there is a stand by our house selling sweet corn. We buy a few dozen ears to cook and freeze, so we can readily have it on hand….
Roasted Jalapenos in the Air Fryer
Whenever we are grilling dinner, Mark will throw a few whole jalapenos on the grill to have them with whatever we are having. On this day we forgot to do that and I wanted to just see how they would turn out in the air fryer. They turned out awesome!! Let’s Get Crafty! Preheat the…
Air Fried Chile Rellanos
Yes please! This is a change up of frying chile rellenos in vegetable oil using a bread crumb coating. (That way is also amazingly delicious!) We have used egg roll wrappers for many tasty things and scanning through some recipes one day made me think of trying to use them to make chile rellenos. Let’s…
Toasting Burritos in the Air Fryer
If you love burritos but want to change it up a bit – give toasting them in the air fryer a try. It adds an extra layer of crunchiness that takes a regular burrito to the next level. Let’s Get Crafty! Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees and let warm up a couple minutes…
Super Easy Chili Dogs
You know how time flies by? Well – we made this the day after 4th of July when we made too many hotdogs the day before. This was a fun way to use them up and I had some frozen cooked hamburger that I wanted to use up too. I also really like chili anytime…
