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…

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…
Tater Tot Fun!
This isn’t really a recipe as much as a fun way to add some flavor to a favorite side we seem to be having more and more at our house. Yay for fun Tater Tots! My sister-in-law gifted me the newest Ree Drummond cookbook for this past Christmas. One of the recipes included doing this…
Wonton Lasagna Cups
These are a little more time intensive than I usually like to do but I came across a similar recipe and wanted to give it a try. These were really good. I especially like the way the wontons get nice and crispy all around. This recipe makes 12. Next time we make this – I’m…
Air Fryer Boneless Chicken Thighs
This is from a day where we had planned to grill and changed our minds at the end of the day. We have done bone-in skin-on chicken thighs in the air fryer before and they were a big hit. I was surprised how crispy they were. Click here for the link to timing for air…
