As I look back at all that we've shared in this skillet dinners series, we didn't feature enough stir-fry meals. (Sorry about that!) To make up for it, we'll share more on the website soon. But for now, we've got this delicious Orange Ginger Chicken Stirfry. It's not your typical restaurant Orange Chicken because I didn't coat the chicken in breading. Partly because I just … [Read more...]

Chocolate Lava Popcorn
This stuff will knock your socks off. We love making popcorn in the air popper. Just the other day, the kids figured out that they could put the popped popcorn back into popper and it will fly everywhere when they plug it back in!

Slow Cooker Smoky Brisket & Cajun 15 Bean Soup

Chicken and Potato “Stirfry” on the Grill
Had to sneak a grilling recipe in here! If you don't have a grilling basket, I highly recommend that you get one before grilling season 'officially' resumes in a month or two.

This is the … [Read more...]
Sausage, Potato & Pepper Skillet Dinner
I am raising a bunch of meat and 'taters boys in this house....the proof being in the way that they polished off their sausage and potatoes. This is a meal that I turn to often...whether I make it in the skillet or a slow cooker version, we all love it! Couple notes and modifications for this recipe: Add a chopped onion. I usually do. Completely forgot to this time. … [Read more...]
Beef Tamale Skillet Dinner
Adore these Tex-Mex flavors and the fact that you get your entire meal cooked in one skillet! This Beef Tamale Skillet Dinner was originally shared with me by a reader and I couldn't not make it. Tamales are a traditional Christmas food around San Antonio and we enjoyed a round (or three!) of tamales this past Christmas. While we aren't adding the corn 'masa' that you would … [Read more...]

Pork Chops, Red Potatoes & Apple Skillet Dinner
My boys love pork chops. I like pork chops with apple sauce. Because it just seems like the right thing to serve with pork chips. Well, here's a non-applesauce version of pork chops...using fresh apples instead. Because I'm a rebel like that. Seriously, this is some amazing food. Also, please pardon the iphone photos here. The baby ran off with my SD card for my camera … [Read more...]
