We adore chili in the fall and I'll have this one on the menu as the months get cooler and the weeknights get busier! We love it because it's hearty, it's tasty and this one cooks itself all day! Keep it simple by warming up some diner rolls and steaming some broccoli. Easy, peasy weeknight supper awaits! This is also a great one to make ahead and get into the … [Read more...]
Make Ahead Smoothie Packs
One. Step. Ahead. That's my mantra when it comes my family's "hunger management." When feeding 4 boys and a husband on a daily basis, you have to be prepared - with fast, simple, delicious and nutritious "grab and go" options for all meals of the day. (If you haven't heard, I'm a freezer meals queen too - so much so that we built this to make freezer meals as easy as … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Ravioli
LOVE LOVE LOVE this one! This is going to become our new "Sunday Supper" - after church meal, I think! It cooks in 4 hours in the slow cooker (5 hours, if cooking from frozen!), so I can start it in the morning when I'm making my coffee and it's ready by the time we get home from church. Or... You can make it in the afternoon, or on a weekend when you don't have enough … [Read more...]
Skillet Rigatoni and Sausage Recipe

While many of my favorite skillet meals are made all in the same skillet, this one the pasta is cooked separately and tossed in after the meat-tomato-cream sauce is prepared. This recipe is easy to adapt - you could sub jarred marinara for … [Read more...]
Coconut Lime Chicken Skillet
This chicken was GONE. It flew right out of the skillet, right onto our dinner plates and right into all the bellies! I actually made a double portion of what's below because I knew my boys would love this - because they love curries, and this is basically a tamed down curry with focus on the lime and the coconut, and less on the kick and spice that comes from curry … [Read more...]

Salmon & Asparagus Foil Packs
Before you get all "but salmon isn't a $5 Dinner" on me...hear me out... This is one of our newer MyFreezEasy recipes and I wanted to share it hear because it's so simple, yet so delicious! It's an "herb compound butter" that melts all over the salmon in the foil pack and the asparagus steams inside the pack while the salmon is cooking. It's a magical foil-pack meal and I … [Read more...]

Bacon Cheeseburger Tortellini
Here's another one that I'd call another mess of delicious! (In case you missed the Tex Mex Tater Tot Bake from earlier this week, here it is!) This pile of cheeseburger tortellini with bacon on top is going to knock your socks off! There's a hint of vinegar and mustard in the tomato sauce, to give it a touch of ketchup flavor...but it's not the full ketchup flavor...just … [Read more...]
