Jalapeno Muffin Cups

Here’s an oldie but goodie.  I used to make these for Mark a lot when we were just married.  The original recipe comes from Pillsbury and uses they Pillsbury Grands Jr Golden Layers. These tasty bites are quick, easy and hard to resist.  On this particular day – I was able to throw them together…

Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup

The snow is falling this morning.  That means… BOOM!  We get another soup day.  It feels like a bonus day because I was afraid soup season had ended.   Chicken tortilla soup is probably one of my favorites because it has the mexican flavors that I love and you can so easily spice up individual bowls…

Brussel Sprouts, Potatoes and Bacon

My Mom made this side dish for Easter.  I love brussel sprouts and my family loves potatoes – so having it together in one pot was winner winner chicken dinner (or I guess winner winner ham dinner on this particular day.)  The bacon is what makes this side heavenly. The picture above is having it…

Eggroll in a Bowl

Wow!  I haven’t posted in almost 3 weeks!  Don’t worry!  We’ve still been eating! 😀   Right out of the gate – I want to share a recipe I’ve been wanting to try for a while.  I honestly kept postponing it because I knew it wouldn’t be a household favorite.  I took the plunge and made…

Instant Pot Egg Bites

Good Morning!  For all my Instant Pot friends… we are in love with Egg Bites.  My husband got me the mold for Christmas and we’ve been making them once or twice each week.  They are great because they take just a couple minutes to get in the Egg Bite Pods and then they need no…

Cold Crab Salad

Full disclosure… this is imitation crab.  My son loves imitation crab and that’s why there are a few pieces sitting to the side of the bowl that haven’t been cut and incorporated with the rest.  I remember watching Bronco games as a little girl at my Grandma and Grandpa’s house when we lived in Denver and…

Chicken Spaghetti

This is such a satisfying family-friendly meal.  Turns out there is something super fun to a 3 year old about twirling spaghetti on a fork and it doesn’t just have to be with marinara sauce.  I think that by itself may have sold this dish.   Let’s Get Crafty! Preheat oven to 375 2 chicken breasts, cooked…

Ham and Cheese Breakfast Muffins

These were really good.  This recipe comes from Closet Cooking.  There were no leftovers on the day we made them.  I’m hoping to make them again soon and plan for leftovers that I can freeze so we can have a warm breakfast during the week. Let’s Get Crafty! Preheat the oven to 400 Mix everything…

Nacho Cheese Soup

I tried this soup for the first time at my Mom and Dad’s.  It’s from the Better Homes and Gardens Biggest Book of Soup and Stews.  It’s a good cookbook for a lover of soup and stews.  My only complaint is that I wish there were more pictures.  There’s some… but not a lot.  I…
