All I really want to say is "you're welcome." If we were together talking about this recipe over coffee and I slid you the recipe card across the table, I would just say..."try this...and you're welcome." So... You're welcome. Yes, it's spinach artichoke dip...spread on top of ravioli (with some water) and all baked together. The ravioli swells and cooks up … [Read more...]
Instant Pot Macaroni and Cheese
The Best and Easiest Instant Pot Macaroni and Cheese Pardon me while I drown myself in this bowl of Mac and Cheese. Like, please don't judge me. I won't judge you. ;) It's so delicious. The pasta is cooked perfectly. (Be sure to use both of the "extra" ingredients when cooking the pasta.) And then the cheese melts beautifully to create (what might possibly be) … [Read more...]
Cheesy Zucchini Cups
Grab n Go Snack - Grab n Go Breakfast - Grab n Go Lunch. This one is for my low carb friends...and you can make it even more low carb by using almond flour! Even though these "have green things in them" (direct quote from an unnamed child of mine), they were enjoyed by all! I had to promise within an inch of my life that said child wouldn't actually taste the green … [Read more...]
Peach, Almond, Blue Cheese Salad
One of my favorite parts of summer...all of the amazing fresh produce and fun salads that you can "build." I think of salads as being "built." There's the lettuce base. There's something crunchy. There's something sweet-ish. There's something tangy. There's something creamy. There's the dressing. Sometimes there's the protein. In this case, we're … [Read more...]

Chunky Avocado Salsa
Can you say CINCO DE MA-YUM!!!! It's Cinco de Mayo week and I've got a great new recipe to try! Love me some salsa (yes, I judge tex-mex joints based on their salsa!) and I apparently have been missing out on the whole 'add avocado chunks to your salsa' thing. This is 'next level' salsa right here...and I'm so grateful to my friend Hannah for introducing me to this bowl … [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...]
Cinnamon French Toast with Berries
Gone. Wiped out. Polished clean. And there might have been some licking of plates. (Because, when else does mom include sugar with dinner!?!) Pretty much only at a 'brinner' like this! We love breakfast for dinner at our house - love it. And this recent 'brinner meal' brought everyone to the table quickly, and everyone literally cleaned their plates. (Yes, we had a … [Read more...]

It's grilled cheese...with all your favorite pizza flavors. (Feel free to add other 'toppings' as 'fillings' into your grilled cheese.) And the bread that you use....garlic bread. I KNOW. My … [Read more...]
