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…

Creamy Garlic Chicken & Potato Bake
Happy Garlic Day! To celebrate I waned to share one of our new favorites…Creamy Garlic Chicken & Potato Bake. It is loaded with tons of flavor and comes together pretty quick too. It just makes me happy… I love a dinner that can all be prepared in a couple of pans and it is loaded with a ton of flavor. This dish is all that and more. It has super juicy chicken, tender potatoes and a little spinach (you know so it is healthy) and a rich garlic cream sauce making it SOOOOO good. It really does have everything you need for a hearty dinner all in one pan. The…

Chicken Enchilada Casserole
Is there anything better than a casserole on a busy weeknight? In my world I am all about a super easy casserole any time, but especially on those busy nights. Even better when it is an enchilada casserole! All in one… One of the best things about a casserole is the fact that everything is all packed into on dish. There are typically fewer pans to clean up, it serves a lot of people and there is something just so comforting about a casserole. This enchilada version is all that and more. There is chicken, beans, rice, cheese and a little heat in each bite, just like your favorite enchiladas.…

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.…

What is your favorite casserole? Are you a Enchilada Casserole fan? Maybe a Chicken Poppyseed Casserole fan? Or the classic Chicken n Rice? Whatever your favorite is, I think I may have a new one for you, and it is all made in the Instant Pot making it super easy!! Broccoli Love I love the traditional Broccoli, Chicken and Rice casserole but for this recipe I wanted to add a little extra something. I decided to roast the broccoli.

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…
