Apricot Meatballs
I adore the sauce that's on these meatballs. It's very similar to the sauce on my Slow Cooker Apricot Chicken recipe. And it's just as delicious served with these meatballs, as it is with the chicken. And there's an added bonus with this recipe: it's freezer friendly. If you want to freeze these meatballs, then make up some homemade meatballs as directed, line them into a … [Read more...]
Instant Pot Salmon with Lemon & Dill
Restaurant Quality Salmon - Because it's Steamed in the Instant Pot! Lemon and dill are by far my favorite ingredients to use when making salmon. I'll bake, slow cook, grill, and saute salmon with lemon and dill. I'll use lemon slices, or lemon juice, or even lemon essential oil with olive oil. Now, I'm adding pressure cook to the list of possible ways to cook salmon … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Herbed Pork Tenderloin
This herbed pork tenderloin will make your taste buds sing! It's also going to make that 'what's for dinner' daily song that plays in your head melt away...at least for the day. I love slow cooker meals. I love how fast they are to get going in the morning...especially when it's a "freezer to slow cooker" meal like this one.

The Instant Pot Might Be Sending The Slow Cooker into Retirement??
I know. I'm a big dork. Specifically a kitchen appliance dork. And do dorky things, like hug my Instant Pot. I just get really excited when there are kitchen and time saving hacks to be shared. (I have and recommend the DUO for busy families.) Yeah, so...the Instant Pot very well may send my slow cooker into retirement. Or it's just going to end up being a dead even race … [Read more...]
Chicken Nacho Salad
I heart salads. And I'm really crushing hard on the crunchiness of this Chicken Nacho Salad. It's all that I love in a good plate of nachos...but mixed together as a salad. Sliced tomatoes, sliced avo, little shredded mozz tossed with some shredded chicken, romaine and crushed tortilla chips. Drizzle a vinaigrette over the top and you've got yourself a great and filling … [Read more...]

Slow Cooker … [Read more...]
Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats with Berries
Obsessed. Obsessed with this steel cut oatmeal. Obsessed with how easily and quickly it cooks. And how perfectly it ends up tasting! And my obsession with my Instant Pot is strengthening too. It's slowly taking over in my kitchen. It's neck and neck now with my slow cooker. (I still use my slow cooker all the time.) But I'm using the Instant Pot more now for side … [Read more...]
Thai Peanut Pork Chops
Let's talk about delicious shall we?! Let's talk specifically about how delicious these Thai Peanut Pork Chops are!!!

Then, saute and simmer a few veggies that complement the peanut and Thai flavors with the pork chops in … [Read more...]
Pizza Meatloaf
Here's one for my meat loving friends! Yes, you're reading and seeing this right...it's meatloaf. With a pizza topping. And it's just amazing. Polished, we polished our plates when we had this one! The boys loved this. They decided that it had a bit of a spaghetti taste (I think this would be the pizza sauce with the beef combo.) And they thought it was great … [Read more...]
