LOVE THESE SANDWICHES SO MUCH. Sorry, sometimes I just get really excited about delicious food. Especially when it's super easy to prep (with ingredients that are normal and you probably already have in your pantry.) Like this one... Beef roast with tomatoes, balsamic vinegar and seasonings... Slow cooking the day away, then shred and assemble sandwiches. SUCH AN … [Read more...]

Instant Pot Taco Soup Recipe
Here it is...our fabulous instant pot taco soup!!! I love making this soup in the slow cooker and on the stovetop. I have made it many-many-many times over the years. But I have to tell you...I like the Instant Pot version the best. Why? Because of the way that an electric pressure cooker heats and pressurizes the food, it does a better job of infusing flavor. Yes, … [Read more...]
Garlic Lime Chicken
I love how chicken is like a blank slate or empty canvas...and that you can give it so many different wonderful flavors with different sauces and marinades. This particular marinade is super simple and is perfect for chicken that you plan to freeze, say...when you buy extra from a great sale or deal at your grocery store?! The chicken is frozen with the marinade, then when … [Read more...]

Beef & Veggie Biscuit Pot Pie
Oh, so hearty and filling! This is a great "skillet to oven" dinner - where you prep and heat the bottom layer in a skillet (in this case, browning ground beef and warming the veggies) and then you top it with biscuits and bake. You can use the same dish - like an ovenproof or cast iron skillet. Or, you could use a skillet or saucepan to prepare the bottom layer and then … [Read more...]
Spinach Ravioli Lasagna
I took one bite of this and pretty much didn't put my fork down until I was perfectly stuffed! This meal is much faster to put together than a lasagna because you're putting the fresh or frozen ravioli into the baking dish without cooking it. You add a little water, plus the water from the marinara sauce, and the ravioli is cooked to perfection. You will 'layer' the sauce, … [Read more...]
Ginger Peach Pork Chops
There's just something about a simple, fruity glaze that I love on pork chops. This glaze happened 'by accident' as I was fishing around the pantry for ingredients and turns out it's just lovely. The peach preserves plus the ginger and a little sesame oil - it's a great balance of simple and well matched flavors. Plus, my boys will gobble, gobble, gobble this up! Also, … [Read more...]
Skillet Caprese Chicken
This recipe is one of our new MyFreezEasy meals. And while I've written the directions below for making it as a "fresh meal," I would highly recommend freezing the chicken with the oil and balsamic because it will marinate beautifully as it thaws! These fabulous flavors combine in a skillet to make an amazing, fresh and 'light' weeknight dinner. Also, I highly recommend the … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Asian Shredded Beef
Holy fakeout-takeout. I want to say holy guacamole. But that wouldn't make sense with a fakeout-takeout kind of Asian dish like this. So, holy fakeout-takeout. This shredded beef is so delicious. And it's so easy to through together with a fabulous homemade Asian sauce. And...freezer friendly too! Love me a beef roast that can go freezer to slow cooker in just a … [Read more...]
