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…
Doritos Hamburger Casserole
Chicken Doritos Casserole is a family favorite in this house. This is the same idea but we’re using hamburger instead of chicken. It feels a lot like a beef enchilada bake but the Doritos give it a little something different that was fun. Let’s Get Crafty! Preheat oven to 375 and spray pam in a…
Taco Stuffed Shells
I don’t usually cook with these fun little shells because I always thought it would be a pain to get the filling to stay inside. It really wasn’t but they did need some babysitting while they were cooking to keep them apart. This recipe gives it a try and it was really good! Aren’t they…
Baked Bone-In Pork Chops
We’re going to bake these like we did the chicken legs/thighs a little while back. The chicken was so good that I wanted to give it a go with pork chops. We generally only use grill seasoning when we’re grilling, so it’s fun to try something new. Let’s Get Crafty! 1 inch thick bone-in pork…
