Loaded Fries

Ok. I’m going to give it to you straight. I wanted take out. More specifically… I wanted Dave’s Hot Chicken loaded fries. The stars didn’t align and we didn’t go out to lunch after church so we made this at home and I’ve gotta say – it was darn good and a quick $80 saved….

Chicken Alfredo Pasta

This is the perfect easy dinner idea to slide into your dinner rotation because the kids eat it up and you can get it on the table in around 30 minutes.

Shredded Beef Wonton Cups

Now this is a fun little dinner inspiration! These wonton wrappers are awesome because they crisp up so nicely around the edges. This could be perfectly planned by making extra meat one evening for planned leftovers that could be turned into this in a day to follow. They feel less like a leftover because this…

Italian Sliders

These are quick and easy sliders that were perfect for this particular volleyball practice/swimming lesson night because they didn’t take much prep to get in the oven and toasted.

Pizza Pockets in the Air Fryer

It’s been so hot that we’ve been using our air fryer more and cooking outside more. These are super simple and were really good. They do take a little time with multiple batches if you are making them for a family depending on the size of your air fryer. Ingredients:2 premade pizza crust packages (this…

Air Fryer Fajitas

This came together on a Sunday afternoon when we realized we didn’t have a dinner plan. With a quick run to the local grocery store, they had thinly steak that looked great for some fajitas so that’s what we did and it was great! Using the air fryer does take a while longer with more…

Million Dollar Spaghetti

This is a truly indulgent meal that takes a spaghetti dinner to the next level.
