It's Monday afternoon and I'm back with another new recipe in this month's 31 Days of Skillet Dinner Recipes! This time it's the skillet version of the crazy popular Cheesy Chicken, Broccoli & Rice Casserole. Minus the canned cream of soup (which you can totally use, I just don't because of the dairy allergy/intolerances in the family!) It's super easy to make your own … [Read more...]
Sausage & Cabbage Skillet Dinner
Need dinner on the table in 10 minutes? You can totally do that with this recipe! Since this recipe calls for pre-cooked kielbasa or other kind of sausage, you can literally have this on the table in 10 minutes. It takes 2-3 minutes to cut up the cabbage. Another few minutes for it to soften up in the skillet. Chop up an onion and throw it in too. DUNZO. {Here's how to … [Read more...]
Tex Mex Beef & Quinoa Skillet Dinner
Tonight we're revamping an old recipe from 2010 for this month's 31 Days of Skillet Dinners series. It's p.a.c.k.e.d. full of protein and will fill up the bottomless pits that show up at your dinner table every night. Beef + beans + quinoa = protein-town! (My older 2 boys must be going through growth spurts...because boy can they eat! It's a good thing that I know how to … [Read more...]
Pineapple Cupcakes with Ginger Lime Frosting
You're going to see a number of pineapple recipes in the coming weeks, as I scored a few couple of cans of pineapple in 100% juice on clearance at Target. I do my best to avoid Target and the 'inevitable $100 tag' that seems to happen whenever I walk in there. But I will go in for special deals (like the Huggies diaper deal this past week (sale price &$2 off coupons & … [Read more...]
Loaded Potato Frittata
Frittatas. They make a great breakfast. They make a great lunch. And they make a wonderful one dish dinner! You've got the protein from the eggs, cheese and bacon, plus a little starch from the potatoes. Serve it with a side of fresh fruit and you've got the entire food pyramid covered! If I had to pick my most favorite frittata of all time, it might be this one. … [Read more...]
Weeknight Spinach Lasagna Skillet
Welp, I couldn't not include a skillet lasagna recipe in this month's 31 Days of Skillet Dinner series. So here it is. I adore lasagna. While my mom isn't known for her skills in the kitchen, she can make a mean lasagna! I adore her lasagna. I adore any lasagna. I should clarify...I adore the taste of lasagna. The pasta with the flavorful tomato sauce and richness and tang … [Read more...]
Sweet Potato & Chicken Sausage Hash
If only my stomach were a little larger. Because if it were, I would have tried to eat this entire skillet. All by myself. This Sweet Potato Chicken Sausage Hash is a phenomenal combination of sweetness, heartiness and warmth. It's a great, simple meal that will warm your tummy on these FRIGID COLD DAYS. {And yes, it's totally okay to stand over the skillet to keep … [Read more...]
Creamy Ranch Chicken Skillet Dinner
So this is seriously, slamming delicious. Like, gourmet restaurant delicious. I'm not sure if it's the homemade 'cream of mushroom' sauce {photo tutorial below} or the homemade ranch dressing mix. It's probably the combination of the ranch and mushroom flavors, all cream-ified together. Whatever it is, it's slamming delicious. Like Ka-Bam. Slam. Jam. Delicious. My … [Read more...]
Skillet Macaroni with Swiss Chard
Don't think your family will eat chard? Then they haven't tried this skillet macaroni yet. (Seriously, you have to make them try it. Or if you think they will adamantly refuse, you can substitute spinach for the chard. And if they refuse that, then I can't help! ;) ) But I find masking it in a delicious pasta, topped with some Parmesan, shouldn't garner too many complaints. … [Read more...]
Chicken & Stuffing Skillet Dinner
This recipe was originally sent to me by a reader and I couldn't help but try it right away! I've shared the original recipe as she sent it to me, but I'm also going to tell you how I adapted it to fit my family's dietary needs. The kids can't have dairy, so instead of the nacho cheese soup, I just used a half and half combination of milk and water to make 2 1/4 cups. Then I … [Read more...]
