St. Patrick’s Day is tomorrow! I cannot believe we are already into the middle of March. This month is flying by. St. Patty’s Day is a day to celebrate in my house, it is one of my dad’s favorite days so we always try to do something fun. Not only will he has this Instant Pot Corned Beef but he will also have these AMAZING Guinness Brownies!! Yes, Guinness Brownies I am a big fan of dark, heavy beer and especially Guinness. Each year on St. Patrick’s Day I have one with my dad, so this year I decided to to bring the beer to dessert as well…in brownies.…

Reuben Grilled Cheese
Are you a fan of grilled cheese. I love them… they can be simple, with meat, with multiple types of cheese, thick bread, thin bread, fancy bread…I just love grilled cheese. Closed or Open? There is a great delicatessen here is Houston call Kenny & Ziggy’s. This is the first place I ever experienced The Rueban. I am almost embraced to admit this but it was only about 8 years ago that I fell in love with this amazing sandwich. It all started with a shopping trip to the Galleria with my brother for my sis-in-love. Afterwards we went to Kenny & Ziggy’s for lunch and he said we…

Instant Pot Corned Beef & Cabbage
St. Patricks Day is just a round the corner and according to my dad that means it is time for Corned Beef and Cabbage. Normally I will find a local place who is fixing it and get it for him, but this year I decided to get it a try in the Instant Pot. PS….I LOVED IT! Everything in one pot The beauty of the instant pot is that you literally can cook everything in one pot. That means one pot to clean up when everything is all said and done…I so LOVE that!! OK, well maybe one pot and a cutting board but still minimal cleaning up. Another great…

THE Instant Pot Mac-n-Cheese
I love mac-n-cheese anytime, anyway, anywhere. I have made my fair share over the years but I have to say this is definately one of my favorites yet. Cheesy Goodness In my opinion any good mac n cheese has a couple of cheese varieties in it. Some favorites are gouda and cheddar, goat and mascarpone and classic cheddar blend. For this mac-n-chesse I combined my dads version (stovetop velveeta) with mine to create a delicious mac-n-cheese. To make it extra creamy I used a little velveeta, some white cheddar (you could use yellow) and then a mexican blend. The combo of all the cheeses create a super creamy, cheesy blend…

The BEST Chocolate Chip Cookie
I am so in the mood for chocolate chip cookies…I mean like a whole big plate of them with ice cold milk. Even more I want these cookies…RIGHT NOW! My version of the NYT recipe If you have searched for a chocolate chip cookie recipe on Pinterest lately I am sure you seen the New York Times recipe. It is the recipe made with cake flour and bread flour and then you have to chill it for 24 hours. Well, I don’t know about you but chilling cookie dough for 24 hours is not something I am very good at. I have done it before and the cookies were really…

Bang Bang Shrimp Pasta
Have you ever had Bang Bang Shrimp? I LOVE IT! It is actually more like OBSESSED! If you have you know why I love it so much, and if you have not well then you need to make this ASAP. Not your typical version The typical Bang Bang Shrimp is fried and then tossed in this amazing creamy sweet and spicy sauce. It is crispy and delicious but also pretty heavy, and well fried. For this pasta I wanted to lighten it up a bit, but still give you everything that makes Bang Bang Shrimp so amazing. Instead of frying the shrimp I decided to pan sear them…

Breakfast can be such a challenge sometimes. You get up late, or the kids are running late, or your just not in the mood to make anything or what you really want you don’t have time to make….like steel cut oats. Well I am glad you stopped by…I am here to help you with all the above. Steel cut in under 30…minutes Have you ever tried to make steel cut oats for breakfast? Before Instant Pot (BIP) I would have to plan out the making of my favorite oatmeal. I would either put in the slow cooker overnight or I would make them on a rainy Sunday afternoon when…

Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes – A New Favorite
I am so OBSESSED with my Instant Pot. I cannot get enough of it. You literally can cook anything in it…even Cheesecake. I mean really you cook almost ANYTHING! As much as I loved the cheesecake the mashed potatoes I made in the IP (instant pot) were even better!! I could live on these Mashed Potatoes are a passion for me. My MeeMaw was the mashed potato Queen and I learned all my best tips and tricks from her. I am not going to lie I was a little nervous taking a favorite and trying to recreate it in the instant pot…especially for my mashed potato loving family. Thankfully they…

Salted Caramel Sauce
Lets be real honest…is there anything much better than a rich and creamy Salted Caramel Sauce? Not in my world!! Even better lets pair it with BROWNIES!! All for my Mary, Mary… My sweet sis-in-love’s birthday was last week and all she asked for was Salted Caramel Brownies and her favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies (recipe coming soon). Literally that is all she wanted, it was not all she got but that is all she asked for…I just love that girl. You can do this…. In order to make her brownies extra, extra special I decided to make my favorite Salted Caramel Sauce. This may sound a little crazy but…

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…
