Beefy Enchilada Stuffed Peppers

We made these on a warm day where I was looking for a tasty dinner that didn’t heat up the house.  I love “choose your own adventure” type of dinners and that is what this is.  Fill your peppers with whatever you want.  We had some leftover, cooked ground beef so I added some enchilada…

Tamale Pie

My Mother-in-law and Father-in-law and I were looking through cookbooks and one had tamales in it.  Someone mentioned that it had been a long time since having a tamale pie.  When dinner rolled around – that seemed like the perfect thing to make.  Betty found this Betty Crocker recipe online that seemed just like the…

Instant Pot Taco Mac

This is a spin off the basics of the mac and cheese recipe I’ve been making in the instant pot for a while now.  I love throwing everything in and setting the timing and walking away.  On this day… my son switched the vent to sealing because I accidentally left it in release.  You can…

Ravioli with Meat Sauce – NO BOIL (Whoohoo!)

I’m always on the hunt for quick and easy dinners and this one definitely fits the bill.  We don’t eat ravioli often here and I bought some because I wanted to try it in the air fryer.  Well… I haven’t done that and came home last Friday night tired and wanting to make dinner fast…

Freezer Meal – Chicken Pot Pie Starter

Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas

This recipe is a spin off a chicken enchilada recipe my Mom made when we were growing up.  It was such a creamy, comforting meal at the end of a school day.  This is one of those meals that evokes warm, happy feelings about home and growing up.  The kind of feelings that I hope…

Instant Pot Macaroni and Cheese

I’ve been wanting to try IP mac and cheese for a while now.  Who doesn’t love a good mac and cheese?  It was crazy easy and so darn delicious that I know this is something that we’ll be making many times to come. I was one of those people that doubted that the Instant Pot…
