• An easy bison chili recipe to make for dinner this week

    May 8, 2023

    Looking for a delicious meat-based chili? This bison chili is packed with flavor and some subtle heat for a truly tasty dinner. Eat it as is or pair it with spaghetti noodles and you’ll have dinner everyone will be raving about. Except for maybe your kids, because let’s be honest. Their palettes aren’t exactly … varied. So maybe just make them the spaghetti noodles and savor the chili for yourself. I know, I know. A meat-based chili recipe after I just got done professing my love for bean-based chilis. But hear me out. This bison chili is really delicious. And,…

  • An easy and delicious slow cooker lentil and bean chili

    April 30, 2023

    This slow cooker lentil and bean chili is an easy and delicious crockpot dump meal that the whole family will enjoy. It only requires 10 minutes of hands on time and is perfect for those week nights where you only have a few minutes tops to devote to dinner. I feel like there are two types of chili eaters in the world: Team Beans and Team Gimme The Meats. I fall squarely into Team Beans. There’s just something about beef and tomato sauce together that makes me a little queasy. I hate meat sauce on pasta. Spaghetti and meatballs is…

  • The best way to cook chicken is in the Instant Pot

    November 23, 2022

    Want to enjoy a whole roasted chicken but are short on time? The best (and fastest) way to cook it is with the Instant pot. The best part is how flavorful, tender, and juicy it turns out, except for maybe how little time it takes to make it. I’m a late adapter when it comes to kitchen appliances. Mainly because I feel like everything I cook can be made in the oven or on the stove. But also because I’m afraid of wasting money on something I’ll never use. Which is why it took me years to purchase an Instant…

  • Sheet Pan Eggs And Brussels Sprouts is breakfast made easy

    November 21, 2022

    An easy meal for breakfast or dinner, this recipe for sheet pan eggs and brussels sprouts is an absolute treat. It comes together in about 20 minutes and will have everyone at the table saying MORE PLEASE! I’ve had the Brussels Sprouts and Egg Skillet from Naturally Ella saved on one of my Pinterest boards for ages (probably since 2012 when the recipe first came out), but never had the courage to make it. Brussels sprouts have never been a favorite of mine and it’s taken a lot of years to get to the point where I can eat them once a…

  • A Butternut squash soup to make in the Instant Pot

    November 18, 2022

    This Instant Pot Butternut Squash Soup is rich and creamy (without dairy!) and is an absolute delight. Enjoy some now or freeze it for later, this is definitely a great one to have on hand for when a soup craving strikes. It’s soup weather, it’s soup weather, it’s sooooouuuuup weather! And that means I get to put at least one soup on the menu each week. (Any more than that and my family revolts.) One of my favorite soups to make (besides chicken soup, of course) is a butternut squash soup. I love how rich and creamy it is and…

  • A quick soup to make the next time the weather drops

    November 16, 2022

    When the weather drops and/or you’re craving soup, nothing satisfies quite like chicken and rice soup. Ready in 30 minutes (or less), you’ll definitely want to make this one again and again. With colder weather approaching, it is one thousand percent soup weather. Homemade chicken soup happens to be one of my all-time favorites. There is something so comforting to me about the process of making it; a large stock pot filled with water, a whole chicken, some celery, carrots, and onions or leeks, and a few cloves of garlic on the stove for a few hours. The smells that…

  • Chicken and Leek Burgers make an easy weekday meal

    November 11, 2022

    Made from a grand total of 5 ingredients, these chicken and leek burgers are flavorful AND easy to make. Two things that make me a very very happy person, especially when it comes to getting a healthy (and delicious) dinner on the table, pronto. I love a meal that can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. So whenever I stumble upon an idea that allows me to do that, I latch onto it with immense speed. It also helps to make the nights when the kidlets refuse to eat what I make for dinner a little more tenable. That’s…
