The green and the red collide in this amazing beef roast that's cooked in the Instant Pot. I've made the 'what chili should I pick decision' for you easy by using both green chilies and red salsa (not red chilies) in this great and simple beef roast meal. (Your chili preference is a THING in New Mexico!) When you cook this beef roast in the Instant Pot (I recommend this … [Read more...]
Cashew & Curry Chicken Wraps
This flavorful chicken not only taste fantastical, it's super healthful too! With these wraps, you could use tortillas, whole wheat tortillas or lettuce cups. (I recently noticed my grocery store had new 'lettuce wrap' lettuce available...already pulled apart and neatly nested together for you.) This recipe calls for rotisserie chicken, but you could use slow cooked, … [Read more...]
Instant Pot Herbed Pork Tenderloin
I adore the way that the instant pot cooks a pork tenderloin. Adore. (I'm working on a bacon wrapped pork tenderloin in the Instant Pot...once I have it tweaked just right, I'll share it!) If you've ever looked at recipes for pork tenderloin or other thicker meats, you'll find a wide range of cook times. After making several different types and kinds of roasts in the … [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...]
Garlic Lime Chicken
I love how chicken is like a blank slate or empty canvas...and that you can give it so many different wonderful flavors with different sauces and marinades. This particular marinade is super simple and is perfect for chicken that you plan to freeze, say...when you buy extra from a great sale or deal at your grocery store?! The chicken is frozen with the marinade, then when … [Read more...]
Ginger Peach Pork Chops
There's just something about a simple, fruity glaze that I love on pork chops. This glaze happened 'by accident' as I was fishing around the pantry for ingredients and turns out it's just lovely. The peach preserves plus the ginger and a little sesame oil - it's a great balance of simple and well matched flavors. Plus, my boys will gobble, gobble, gobble this up! Also, … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Asian Shredded Beef
Holy fakeout-takeout. I want to say holy guacamole. But that wouldn't make sense with a fakeout-takeout kind of Asian dish like this. So, holy fakeout-takeout. This shredded beef is so delicious. And it's so easy to through together with a fabulous homemade Asian sauce. And...freezer friendly too! Love me a beef roast that can go freezer to slow cooker in just a … [Read more...]
3-Ingredient Pineapple Muffins
Yup yup...just 3 ingredients! Self rising flour, sugar and crushed pineapple. I'm all about the time hacks...including not pulling out all.the.baking.things. when you can use self-rising flour instead! Self-rising flour works wonderfully in many recipes, especially this one. I have not experimented with other sweeteners, but think that applesauce or coconut sugar would be … [Read more...]

Crunchy Dijon Cod
Oh my flavor. In general, I like fish. Milder fish is preferred. But when you add a ton of flavor and crunch, then I love fish. And by ton of flavor and crunch, I mean this. Dill, lemon, Dijon mustard. With some bread crumbs. Generously piled on top of a mild fish, like cod. YUM. This will not disappoint!!! Crunchy Dijon Cod Dill, lemon, Dijon … [Read more...]
