For Christmas, I asked my husband to get me an Instant Pot because I’d been hearing so many awesome things about it. The hubby isn’t one to shop online and I didn’t really want the one at Walmart, so I didn’t end up getting it. Then I tried to tell myself I didn’t really need […]
Entree
Bacon and Caramelized Onion Grilled Cheese
Northern California has been receiving crazy amounts of rain and I am loving it! Hopefully we’ll finally get pulled out of this drought we’ve been in for years. One thing is for sure though – due to all the rain I’m eating lunch at home more than usual, which begs for creativity. I don’t like […]
Easy Chicken Taco Cups
As a mom who is in the middle of school basketball season, scouts, church activities and dance, I’m all about quick and easy meals so we can still sit down and have dinner as a family. With the big football game coming up this weekend, I’ve been playing with easy meals that also double as […]
Favorite Soup Recipes in Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #53
We’re in the thick of winter and it is COLD outside! My parents just flew home from the midwest, and had tons of delays due to an ice storm. It’s pretty nasty out there for some of us. Between the cold weather, and the constant cold and flu battle I seem to be facing, I […]
Creamy Potato Soup and Yuba French Bread
I am being compensated by Idahoan, to feature their new soups, as part of the Mom It Forward Influencer Network. All opinions expressed are my own. December was filled with different sick bugs being passed from kid to parents, back to kid and back to parents again. Unfortunately it’s carried over into January, but hopefully […]
Tart Cherry and Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin
I’ve been a bit on sugar overload lately, so I thought I’d switch things up and create a delicious savory dish for dinner this week. Okay, I’ll admit it – there’s sugar in this too. I’ve found the perfect amount of sweet and savory that goes into this Tart Cherry and Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin, […]
Vegan Mediterranean Panini
With talk and plans of Thanksgiving, I’m sure there is a bit of worry for those with dietary restrictions. I’m hosting 30 people at my house, so you better believe there are a few with different dietary needs (gluten free, dairy free, vegan, etc). I don’t have an extreme diet I need to adhere to other […]
Soup Recipes – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #43
It’s raining out and I’m curled up under a blanket and craving soup. I’ve actually had soup several days over the past week because it warms my belly and the soul. This is what I call soup weather so we wanted to arm you with plenty of recipes to get you through Fall and Winter. […]
5 Minute Dinner: 6 Macaroni and Cheese Mix-ins
Macaroni and Cheese has been a longtime family favorite. The kids will take it out of a box, homemade, or even somewhere in the middle. As long as it’s got noodles and cheese, the kids are happy. I personally like to feed my family a meal where I apply at least a little bit of effort, […]
Thai Peanut Noodles
As I’ve gotten older, my palate has grown and expanded. I love so many different foods now than I did as a kid, and I enjoy the variety! I love trying ethnic foods and a recent favorite is Thai food – I can’t believe I lived my life so long without it. Among Yellow Curry, Pineapple […]
