TBH - I wasn't sure about this one...specifically, the boys liking this one. They tend to enjoy curries and other "exotic" flavors, so it wasn't the flavors and taste that had me. It was the rice noodles. I wasn't sure how the rice noodles are going to go over. I kept telling myself...they're pretty close to spaghetti, so...should be fine. But, what if... What if … [Read more...]
Cheesy Sausage Tortellini Skillet
Is it inappropriate to just start eating right out of the skillet? Please tell me no. Because I might have done this... I was prepping this amazing tortellini meal and realized I'd forgotten to start the broccoli. This is a skillet dinner and is super quick to prepare, and in my haste and getting it going, it dawned on my that the broccoli wasn't cooking yet. So I … [Read more...]
Garlic & Herb Cod
This is a lovely (and simple) garlic and herb butter that's coated right onto the fish fillet! You could use this same butter sauce for any type of non-breaded fish fillet and it would be lovely - salmon, tilapia, mahi mahi, or whatever your fave is! We are particularly fond of salmon and cod at my house - because they are the most affordable options, as they are easy to … [Read more...]
Pico Guacamole
I think I can say with 99% confidence that I have some kind of avocado every day. Sometimes it's on a salad, sometimes I just add some lemon juice and scoop it right out of the skin, and sometimes I inhale an entire bowl of guacamole! (For real.) I don't know what it is about avocados, but we get along really well! ;) Recently, I made up a simple homemade guacamole … [Read more...]
Instant Pot Chicken Cordon Bleu
Holy-delicious. This Instant Pot Chicken Cordon Bleu is fabulous! At least compared to the frozen chicken cordon bleu's that my mom used to heat up for our dinners when we were kids. LOL I loved how the breading turned out just soft enough, but crispy enough. And of course, if you wanted to crisp it up even more, you could run it under a hi or lo broil for just a minute … [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...]
Instant Pot Chicken & Sausage Alfredo

Instant Pot Chicken & Sausage Alfredo Creamy and full of flavor! 2 large boneless chicken breasts2 links smoked pre-cooked sausage1 Tbsp olive oil1 … [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...]
Creole Shrimp & Grits
Excuse me, that was so rude of me. I just couldn't help it. That's what I'd be saying to you, had we been at the same table enjoying this Creole Shrimp. Because I would have been licking my bowl. Seriously, I did. This meal is magical. I liked my plate...in front of the boys...and we all had a good laugh about it. Despite my horrible manners. But seriously, just … [Read more...]
