Quick and easy! Just the way I like it. This was thrown together together last Friday night when I wanted something warm and comforting. It had been a long week and pizza didn’t seem like something that would satisfy. I had planned on adding the green chiles to my bowl and not the Instant Pot…

Beef Stew – using one of my starters!
Remember a couple weeks ago when there was a really good beef roast sale? I used one of those beef stew starters on a busy week morning. I threw everything in the Crock-Pot before we left to face the day. During my son’s football practice my daughter and I ran to the grocery store and…
Instant Pot Chicken and Dumplings
My Mom made chicken and dumplings when we were kids. It’s such a comforting, hearty dish to me. It was one of my older brother’s favorites, so he would often pick it as his birthday dinner. This is one of those meals that I can make and know my kids will eat it up. Veggies…
Instant Pot Potato Soup
I’m loving the Instant Pot! This was our second recipe over the weekend. What am I loving? I’m loving the flexibility of putting something in and walking off to do whatever else needs to be done knowing that everything is safe in the pressure cooker and doesn’t even need to be stirred during cooking! I…
Chicken, Avocado and Lime Soup
This is my first time using our Instant Pot to make dinner! The original recipe comes from The Defined Dish blog. A friend shared the link with me and it sounded delicious- so I had to give it a try. As I always tend to do, I’ve done some switching up of the recipe ingredients…
2 Ingredient Pumpkin Muffins
My son loves pumpkin. Especially pumpkin pie. This is a quick and easy Weight Watchers recipe that’s been around for some time now. This one seemed perfect for fall time and getting some pumpkin in our tummies. We made these on weeknight and then had them for breakfast for the couple days to follow. They’ve…
Cattle Drive Casserole
A friend posted this recipe from 12 Tomatoes on Facebook and I just had to give it a try. Another similar post on Pinterest called this Comfort Food at it’s Finest and I would have to agree. I mixed it up a little (Shocker!) but the key ideas are pretty true to form. With baking time…
Make-Ahead Breakfast Enchiladas
The original recipe is from Belly Full. My Mom shared a post of this on Facebook and it looked delicious. My husband doesn’t like breakfast casseroles. I know… I’m sure you’re all gasping and shocked. It can be a struggle that I absolutely love them. My ideal day would start off with hitting the “on”…
Did I just find a Green Chile shortcut??
Green Chile is a labor of love in our house. On this particular day my husband wasn’t home to cook the diced pork and I was working with a pork loin. I used the same idea in coating it and frying it but I did it in slices verses diced which cut down huge on…
Crazy Easy Breakfast Potatoes
This recipe is a keeper. It’s from Very Best Baking by Nestle. What? Nestle? No- there isn’t chocolate in these potatoes but it uses Nestle Carnation Evaporated Milk. I like to buy the low-fat variety and it worked well with this dish. Let’s Get Crafty! Preheat oven to 350 4 cups frozen hash browns,…
