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?

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…

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…

It starts with the Crust… For me a good…

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…

It’s time for a FIESTA
I don’t know about y’all but I am ready for a little Fiesta. This Fiesta Chicken is a party in your mouth!! The good news about this meal is it seems quite indulgent but it really is quite healthy….now thats a win! It’s just so pretty I love it when food comes out looking pretty, I really do think it makes it taste better. Have you ever thought about it?

They call my Godfather, Jonesy and my Godmother SandyJones. Now while her name is Sandy Jones the way they say it is all one name, SandyJones. It really is just so cute. The first thing you need…

The Star of the Table
let’s talk TURKEY When we first started talking about this Early Thanksgiving Dinner my brother said he wanted to smoke the turkey. I was thrilled…I couldn’t wait. He had smoked one last year for our family Thanksgiving and it was good, but he said he wanted to make it even better, and that he did. When all the RSVP’s came back we had 15 people coming, so to ensure we had enough turkey (I love the leftover turkey) I got a big ole’ turkey. It was right around a 20 pound bird. And let me tell you the turkey was so, so good there was not too much left over. To…
