"OMIGOSH, these are amazing. I had no idea I'd love them! I'm in trouble!" This is a note from my friend Kari. We were talking about these and she wasn't sure about the combo, then she tried them and emailed that to me. I share this with you because it might not sound like these 2 should go together - I mean, they aren't peanut butter and jelly, or wine and cheese, or … [Read more...]
Instant Pot Garlic Parmesan Chicken
This is a fantastic and easy to cook dinner in your Instant Pot. It's a "2-phase" kind of recipe because we need the chicken to have some time alone to cook, as it takes much longer than the baby potatoes.

Honey Sesame Chicken
Fakeout-Takeout Alert!!! I adore this honey sesame chicken. It's a simple, homemade sauce that simmers, as the chicken sears and caramelizes the flavors and sauce right onto the meat. The onion juices seep into the honey sesame sauce as it all cooks together in a skillet or wok. Serve it over some Sticky Rice and you've got the PERFECT make-at-home Chinese takeout … [Read more...]
