As school gets closer and closer – it gets me to thinking about freezer meals. I think what I love about freezer meals is that you do what you can when you can and you make your own rules. If you don’t want to do 10 meals at once. Don’t! I tend to make a…

Taco "Empanadas"
It seems that sometimes my mission is to find something fun to make for dinner that avoids going to the grocery store. I tend to stock up on things like crescent rolls and canned biscuits when they are on sale because they make a quick and easy dinner later on – even if I’m not…
Roast Beef Sandwiches
This is one of the first things I remember making for Mark when we were dating. It’s crazy that we’ve been together for 10 years now! Time surely does fly when you’re having fun. This recipe came from a page I pulled out of one of the many cooking magazines I had on hand. This…
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
Chicken pot pie is one of those comfort meals that makes me think of growing up. My thought was if I could get everything going in the crockpot and just have to pop it in the crust and in the oven at the end of the day then maybe I could make it happen more…
Meal Idea List for Weekdays
I’ve been on a mission to put together a list of quick and easy meals to have in my back pocket from week to week while jumping back into work after having our sweet little Haley. This is the list that I’ve compiled. Thank you to all my friends that shared their “go to” meals…
Crockpot Tortilla Soup
I’ve been meaning to make this because I can’t believe that I don’t have it on my blog. I love soups. All soups. Especially easy soups in the slow cooker and that is exactly what this is. Let’s Get Crafty! Everything into the slow cooker on low before running out the door to face the…
