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...]
TexMex Tater Tot Bake
This is a mess of delicious, right here y'all!!! It's packed with amazing flavors and could be a one-dish dinner...but we had it with some green beans! It's like a tater tot shepherd's pie. (If that can be a thing.) The ground beefy combo is on the bottom, then the tater tots over the ground beef. Then cheese (gets added at end of cooking!) The end result is a mess … [Read more...]

Holy-Chicken-Taco-Filling-Batman! Whoooooo-Wheeeeee! This shredded chicken and sauce is FAB-U-LOUS. And needs to becoming a regular part of your rotation!

Cuban Chicken Bowls
I spent 6 years in my 20s living in the Dominican Republic. I met my husband there. My first son was there. A ministry and school near and dear to me are still there. And I hope to take our family back there one day soon. In the years that I spent there, I learned to cook and shop and meal plan. (Because when you have to walk to the grocery store and carry your bags home, … [Read more...]
Multi-Cooker Buffalo Chicken Chili
All the amazing, complementary flavors of Buffalo Wings....in a bowl!!! This chili is fantastic and easy to control the 'heat' by adding more or less red hot pepper sauce. I make it on the milder end and then let Steve add however much hot sauce he can handle ;) I don't buy blue cheese alot because it's on the more expensive end, but this one is a meal that NEEDS it to … [Read more...]
Multi-Cooker Taco Soup Recipe
Ooooh, my friend. I'm crushing hard on the Multi-Cooker lately...mostly because it's able to cook some many things without needing multiple pots or dishes. Like this Taco Soup, for example. You brown the ground beef on saute mode, then drain it if need be. (If you use a lean beef, you don't even need to drain it!) Then, switch to Slow Cooker mode or adjust the temperature … [Read more...]

Instant Pot Cowboy Chili
A delicious bowl of chili with pinto beans, made in the Instant Pot! The Instant Pot has this magical way of infusing flavors so beautifully with the way it uses heat and pressure to cook the ingredients and melt them together. The flavors mingle and marry in such a perfect way and chili is one of my favorites from the Instant Pot. If you haven't made chili in your Instant … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Creamy Taco Soup
Y'all. This. This is a fabulous soup. It's your basic taco soup...with a little extra taco seasoning and a swirl of sour cream right before you serve it! It needs more taco seasoning because the sour cream tames it down a little. So we're adding a touch more than if it didn't have the sour cream. Balance. It's all about the creamy-spicy balance. Let … [Read more...]
