• 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.  First you start with the chicken, spices then the sausage and then comes the cream and pasta.   Everything comes together perfectly and then you stir in the cheese to finish off this super easy meal. OH the…

  • 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.…

  • Instant Pot Creamy Chicken, Broccoli & Rice

    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.  I am a big, big fan of broccoli, but especially roasted broccoli.  I love the little charred ends.  They just add so much flavor.   If you do not want…

  • 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…

  • 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…

    Yep, I jumped on to Instant Pot bandwagon over the Holidays….and let me tell you I am loving it.   Not only does it cut down on cooking time in general, it is fun.  Yes I said fun.  You literally can cook almost anything in there and it turns out amazing. Delicious and Easy I am a big fan of soup, especially on cold winter days and now I even love soup more.  Making soup in the Instant Pot makes it super quick and easy, and OH SO GOOD!  Even better it doesn’t take too many ingredients to make this recipe so, so good. What I have found as I…
