bring on the orzo…
It’s start in the browning… Now the orzo makes this dish special but what really takes it over the top is the chicken and creamy sauce. To start building the flavor and to make the chicken stand out it all starts with browning it. When you season it (really well) and then put it in a HOT skillet magic happens. A deep brown crust starts to form and creates a delicious seal that keeps are the yummy juices inside the chicken…where they belong. Now as good as that sounds…it is just the beginning. All together now Now after the chicken is all nice and brown it is time for the real…

KETO Quiche
Since I started on my KETO journey I have been seeing egg “muffins” all over Pinterest. I have been wanting to make them for a long time and today was the day. Now I am kicking myself for not making them before now. Options…Options and more Options In my book options are always a good thing. I wanted to have something that everyone would like so I went with a bacon option, a sausage option and an all veggie option with bell peppers. In each option I added in chopped spinach and chopped onion. Personally all were SO GOOD, but the bacon was my favorite… everything is better with…

what happens when a skillet and spinach meet…
The Sis-in-Law is queen of good and easy sides and she did not disappoint with her latest creation. They came over not too long ago for dinner and she offered to make the side. I was thrilled as I was busy with the rib roast and twice baked potatoes, and I knew it would be super yummy and I was right. Super simple but so good When she came walking in she had a bag of spinach and that was it. All sorts of options ran though my head. We were going to steam it, microwave eat, eat it raw, but never did I think about a quick sauté.…

surprise their are veggies in this rice!
rice is a favorite around here…and we have made our fair share. Some of ur favorites are this Mexican version, or this cheesy one and & especially this cilantro lime version…but this green version is a new must make.

What makes this recipe so good…well I combined two of our favorites and added in some veggies to make it super yummy. I combined the classic red mexican rice and a light cilantro rice to make this green version. There is a little surprise about this rice though that will get some veggies on your kids plates (the big &…
