So… it was a weeknight that I knew I wanted to make chicken spaghetti but I didn’t want to have to babysit it on the stove or have to wait for water to boil. That’s one of the things I so love about the instant pot! You get it going and walk away. Let’s Get…

Asian Style Turkey Meatballs
We had some ground turkey that I found on sale and I’ve have been thinking about a fun way to use it. I thought making meatballs would be a fun activity at the end of the day for the little lady and I. She said “No thank you. You go ahead.” Maybe on another day……
Sloppy Joes
This is Connor’s favorite dinner. Hands down. If I ask what we should make for dinner – I can bet that 8 out of 10 times… this is what he’ll say. He’s asked me to put it the blog so that he’ll have it one day. My hope is to put together a cookbook to…
Tuna Salad
When I was a little girl, I didn’t like tuna salad. I didn’t like pickle relish or mustard and I can’t ever remember being a big fan of fish. It’s funny to me how taste buds change as we get older. I now love pickle relish and tuna salad is one of my go-to comfort…
Chili Bubble Bake
These pictures aren’t awesome, but I couldn’t not share it because it had three of my goals achieved on a weeknight. (1) Find a way to use the leftover chili in a way that isn’t having chili again (2) Get it in the oven quick with limited dishes (3) Chili is also something our kids…
Taco Egg Rolls in the Air Fryer
We got my husband an air fryer for Christmas. I thought he would be super excited about it… but he didn’t seem to be. He loves fried food and we rarely make it at home. I thought this could be the gateway to healthier “fried” food. It uses such a small amount of oil and…
Creamy Chicken Dip
Oh my goodness! This was so easy and so good. It would be a perfect New Years Eve dip to share with family in friends while ringing in the new year. Nothing quite says comfort food to me like cheesy nachos. Topping it with tomatoes, sliced olives and green onions really adds a layer of…
Chicken Taco Filling from the Instant Pot
Hello Everyone! This recipe for chicken taco filling was made at the same time as the beef recipe. The timing worked great so they could be cooling at the same time. I really like using the Instant Pot for shredded chicken because it feels like it holds its texture more than when we cook it in…
Beef Taco Filling Freezer Packets
I didn’t do my normal round of freezer meals before school started this year and I’ve missed having those go-to meals hanging out in the freezer for those busy days. I’ve decided to mix it up some from what I’ve normally done. I did throw together a couple of my traditional meals but I’m also…
Beefy Mashed Potato Comfort Dinner
Fall is definitely in the air… with beautiful changing leaves and cooling weather. Times are busy with football practices and hectic schedules which makes satisfying comfort dinners even more important. This is one of those to me. The roots of this recipe is a stew but we made mashed potatoes rather than chopping up potatoes…
