Instant Pot Whole Chicken
Are you a fan of the rotisserie chickens from the grocery store? I am. I usually get one or two a week and use them in everything from chicken salad to enchiladas to a wrap. As much as I love buying them at the store I love this Instant Pot Chicken even more. I can use whatever seasoning I want, even the salt free Traders Joe’s seasoning. Trust me it is AMAZING! Options…. Options… and more Options The beauty of making your own whole chicken, instead of depending on the grocery store, you can create your own flavor. Recently my dad spent sometime in the hospital and it was determined…

One Pot Cajun Pasta
I just don’t think you can ever have too many one pot meals in your arsenal of recipes. It is even better when the one pot meal is loaded with TONS of flavor, cheese and is super easy. One pot…thats all The beauty of this dish is that with everything being cooked in the same pot the flavors just keep building as you continue cooking, giving this dish a TON of flavor.

One Pan Sausage & Veggies
YES you read that right this is a one pan dinner…yes ONE pan. Even better it is loaded with veggies and yummy turkey smoked sausage making this dish not only easy but also delicious and not so bad for you too. Season, Season, Season To make this dish really stand out it is all about the seasoning. To keep it simple though I chose a seasoning mix that brought a ton of flavor but you probably already have everything you need in the pantry. I mixed together salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder and dried parsley. If you wanted to use your favorite all purpose seasoning you could…

MeeMaw’s Chicken n Dumplings
These last few weeks have been pretty trying. When I am under stress I tend to eat comfort food and one of my favorites is my MeeMaw’s Chicken n Dumplings. Thankfully things seem to be calming down a bit and getting back to “normal” but I am still craving my favorite dish. Super simple Growing up I was not a fan of veggies. I would sometimes eat a green bean here and there but not much else. My MeeMaw being the best EVER never made us eat veggies. When we were at the farm she would make us anything we wanted and this was always my must have. …

Balsamic Chicken Tenders
Chicken tenders are one of my most favorite proteins to cook. They are quick, easy and you can do just about anything with them, making them a perfect weeknight dinner option. Amping them up a bit I am a fan of a simple grilled chicken tender, or breast or thigh, but when you can marinade and glaze with something a little special I am an even bigger fan. The added flavor from the balsamic reduction adds just enough of that something extra to make these chicken tenders something to remember. They balsamic vinegar brings a bit of tang while the brown sugar gives a bit fo sweet in each bite.…

Sandy’s Chicken Piccata
I am a BIG piccata fan. I like Salmon Piccata, Chicken Piccata, or even just the Piccata sauce over noodles. I just love it all. I honestly don’t know if it is the capers, the lemon or both…but I love it. A Quick Dinner Option I know that dinner during the week can be quite the chore. You get home from work, school or practice and everyone is starving and honestly your just wishing you went through the drive thru instead of having to get dinner made. I feel your pain, I have been there plenty of times. I have good news…this chicken piccata comes together super quick and…

A new way to stuff a tater…
One of my favorite meals at almost any of our local BBQ joints is a stuffed baked potato. I like to stuff the tater with brisket, or chicken or even sausage, just depending on my mood or the place. This past week My sis-in-love decided to whip up some BBQ Chicken in our new Instant Pots and then I decided to try something super fun. All in one… What I am learning about the Instant Pot is that it really is an all in one magic cooking machine. You really can put everything you want for dinner in it and it all magically cooks to perfection I know it…
