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.

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.

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.

One Pan Harvest Dinner = Dinner TONIGHT
It is time to celebrate everything Fall & Harvest. Thanksgiving is a few weeks away, the weather is cooler, boots are a part of our everyday wardrobe, pumpkin spice is everywhere and sweaters are back in the rotation. This is hands down my most favorite time of year. Speaking of Pumpkin Spice Pumpkin spice is not just for your lattes or pumpkin bread…it is perfect on veggies and chicken. Yes I said veggies and chicken. I know that may not sound normal or even that good, but it really, really is so good. It adds a little something extra to make it perfect for Fall. It has just the perfect…

A whole new way to Fajita
I could literally have a fajita, of some sort, for every singe meal. Yes for breakfast, lunch and dinner and maybe even a snack. As much as I love fajitas, sometimes I just don’t want to take the time to fix them…well that is until now. Peppers and Onion…OH YEAH! One of my favorite parts of any fajitas are the peppers and onions. I just love the little charred bits and the hint of sweetness and a little spice in each bite. Even better they add a ton of flavor to the meat, in this case chicken, which makes them a must have in all my fajita dishes. Careful…

Summer is in full swing and that means quick and easy lunches are a must. Something that is yummy, delicious and perfect for a quick bite in between swimming and a trip to the park…I love summer! Just a few ingredients Chicken salad is a favorite of mine. I love the traditional version with mayo, mustard and celery. I also love a fancier version with apple, cranberries and walnuts… but my favorite chicken salad is this Pesto Chicken Salad. It is light but still full of flavor. I use pulled rotisserie chicken. I love how easy it is but also the flavor. Even better at my local grocery store…
