Queso Burger
I am all about a yummy burger and this Queso Burger is everything! It all starts with the queso What makes this burger super special is the combo of your favorite mexican inspired yummies and a traditional burger. the star for me is the Queso. Growing up in Texas I have been blessed with amazing Mexican/Tex Mex food my whole life. One of the staples of tex max is queso, aka cheese dip. After many attempts I have found one that I love and I can make at home in no time. This queso blanco is so good and perfect on this burger or at your next party! Now let’s…

Baked Potato Soup
Baked Potato Soup is a must in my house in the Fall and this recipe is super easy and SUPER YUMMY! Baked Potato Soup LOVE! Is there anything better than a big pot of soup on the stove on a cool Fall day? I just don’t think there is. This Baked Potato Soup is the perfect crowd pleasing dinner. This soup was first introduced to me by a great friend. Years and years ago she sent me the recipe and said I would love it and she was so right. I have been making this for 20+ years and it hit me the other day that I did not…

KETO Broccoli & Cauli Casserole
This KETO Broccoli and Cauli Casserole is hands down my most favorite side I have made since on my KETO journey. I am a HUGE fan of broccoli and I am becoming a big fan of cauliflower so bringing the 2 together is perfect! Load it Up One the first side dishes I made when I started my KETO path was my Loaded Cauliflower Casserole. It is still one of my favorites and I make it often, but this Broccoli and Cauliflower Casserole is definately my new go to. To amp it up a bit I used sour cream, ranch seasoning and mayo. This combo adds a creaminess to…

KETO Queso Burger
This KETO Queso Burger is everything you need in your life RIGHT NOW! This whole burger kinda happened by accident. I was craving a burger but I also wanted Mexican food, well really just quest dip, so I decided to marry the two into this amazing KETO QUESO BURGER! It all starts with the burger (and then the toppings) For this burger I went with a 80/20 blend of ground chuck. If you wanted to use a 90/10 blend or 70/30 blend go for it, just make sure to adjust cooking time as needed. The leaner the meat the faster it will cook. I used 1 1/2 pounds of…

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…

weeknight ready and oh so yummy
Summer is almost here. The business of the end of school will be winding down soon and a new summer schedule will start to become familiar. For me that means it is time to get back into some favorite routines like cooking dinner. There is not a much better place to start than this stroganoff.. Weeknight Ready, REALLY? Ok, ok I know beef stroganoff is usually one of those dishes that takes all day to prepare. Most of the time I throw it in the slow cooker and let it cook all day, but I have an even better version for you. My Godmother, Sandy, makes an amazing beef stroganoff.…

A poppy good time….
There is one dish my Mammaw would always make for us when we go visit her…Poppyseed Chicken Casserole and I LOVED it!! Now I get to make it for her (with a few changes here and there)! All from scratch So my Mammaw was a good cook but she tended to use a lot of canned stuffs to make her dinners….you know like canned cream of chicken and canned chicken. It was easy and quick, which she loved. For me though I prefer to make my recipes from scratch but don’t worry it is still easy…I promise. The base of this casserole traditionally is cream of chicken soup, it is what…

THE BEST EVER…cornbread that is
Cornbread is one of those recipes that I seem to have a 1000 recipes for. Some sweeter than others, some super savory, some spicy, and even some with bacon but this recipe will be my go to recipe from here on out. Sweet or Savory I grew up with a more savory cornbread and was not really introduced to sweet cornbread until I was in high school and I immediately fell in love, but still went back to a savory cornbread recipe when I would make it. But over the years I find myself going back to the sweeter side of cornbread…and this recipe is the BEST! A treat…

enchilada soup…redone
It is soup weather and I LOVE it. There is just something so comforting about eating a bowl of warm soup when it is chilly outside. A few favorite soups in our house is this Corn Chowder and Potato Soup, but this new enchilada soup is defiantly up there on the list. A new favorite I love rich and creamy soups. Growing up I would almost always choose potato soup or chicken noodle soup. Now that I am making my own soup, I always tend to lean towards creamy and very flavorful soups and this enchilada soup is all that and more. One of my favorite enchilada dishes are Green Chile White…

skinny but oh so blue cheese dip
Do you love dip? I LOVE DIP! Every party I have, whether big or small, there is always a dip of some sort. Sometimes I will have the traditional ranch dip (or this amped up version), sometimes a dill pickle dip and sometimes something sweet to go with fruit. Skinny and so GOOD This year for the Big Game I am going to be making A Skinny Blue Cheese dip. This dip will not only be delicious with veggies and chips but it will also pair GREAT with these Skinny Buffalo Tenders. So what makes it skinny, you ask? Well, to start with I use nonfat greek yogurt mixed with reduced…
