One of the first meals my husband made for me when we were dating was chicken cordon blue. I remember being impressed with his cooking skills and over the years – I’ve appreciated how he always loved to go the extra mile to make things delicious. I had him in mind while I was making…

Super Speedy Mexican Rice
I’m sure you’ve noticed over the last year reading my different posts that we eat a lot of Mexican food. It’s true. We do. It’s our go-to flavor profile in our house. I’ve been on the lookout for a recipe for Mexican rice because the kids love it and found one that was so stinking…
Hamburger Sammies
This recipe is a twist on one I posted not that long ago. (For the ham version – take a look back at my January 10, 2018 post.) This change-up was inspired by my son who really likes the ham ones but we didn’t have any ham on hand. Adding the green chiles to the…
Jalapeno Muffin Cups
Here’s an oldie but goodie. I used to make these for Mark a lot when we were just married. The original recipe comes from Pillsbury and uses they Pillsbury Grands Jr Golden Layers. These tasty bites are quick, easy and hard to resist. On this particular day – I was able to throw them together…
Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup
The snow is falling this morning. That means… BOOM! We get another soup day. It feels like a bonus day because I was afraid soup season had ended. Chicken tortilla soup is probably one of my favorites because it has the mexican flavors that I love and you can so easily spice up individual bowls…
Brussel Sprouts, Potatoes and Bacon
My Mom made this side dish for Easter. I love brussel sprouts and my family loves potatoes – so having it together in one pot was winner winner chicken dinner (or I guess winner winner ham dinner on this particular day.) The bacon is what makes this side heavenly. The picture above is having it…
Eggroll in a Bowl
Wow! I haven’t posted in almost 3 weeks! Don’t worry! We’ve still been eating! 😀 Right out of the gate – I want to share a recipe I’ve been wanting to try for a while. I honestly kept postponing it because I knew it wouldn’t be a household favorite. I took the plunge and made…
Instant Pot Egg Bites
Good Morning! For all my Instant Pot friends… we are in love with Egg Bites. My husband got me the mold for Christmas and we’ve been making them once or twice each week. They are great because they take just a couple minutes to get in the Egg Bite Pods and then they need no…
Do you plan to buy an extra ham while they are on sale? I do! Maybe two!
Ham is about to be on sale as Easter gets closer and closer. I came across this trick on Pinterest and just had to give it a try. It’s too easy not to share! All you do is dice up the ham and spread it out on a baking sheet. Put it in the freezer…
Cold Crab Salad
Full disclosure… this is imitation crab. My son loves imitation crab and that’s why there are a few pieces sitting to the side of the bowl that haven’t been cut and incorporated with the rest. I remember watching Bronco games as a little girl at my Grandma and Grandpa’s house when we lived in Denver and…
