Y'all! It's a vegetarian version of a traditional Mexican soup, made with spices like chili powder and oregano, poblano peppers, and hominy corn. And it's SO SO SO SO SO GOOD! I adore 'cheap and filling meals' like this one. I'm often asked "how are you planning on feeding 4 teenage boys on a budget" - and the answer generally involves something along … [Read more...]
Sun-Dried Tomato Salmon
Fantastical. Yes, you read that right - FANTASTICAL. It's more than fantastic, so I made up "fantastical." As in...fantastical combination of flavors that coat and steam-cook the salmon in the foil pack. I adore "foil packs" and you will be seeing more of them over the coming weeks and months. They are great for the grill in the summer, but also the oven in the … [Read more...]

Instant Pot Coconut Lime Chicken
I adore a good curry meal - and my family does too. But I worked this one up as sort of a "spice-less" option. Curry powder or paste isn't always that spicy - depending on the brand and the amount that you use. This one is similar in nature - without the curry. Perfect for anyone who just isn't all that into curry. This meal has a delightful combination of … [Read more...]
Chicken Green Curry
This is a "fight for the leftovers" kind of curry. I make red curry often. And it's my favorite lunch take-out - a yummy treat a few times a month. But this green curry got a "Whoa, babe. This is delightful!" from my husband. And then we fought over the leftovers. It's certainly the most common thing we fight about - who gets the leftovers ;) Fighting is probably the … [Read more...]

And takes minutes to get going in the morning - straight outta the … [Read more...]
Instant Pot Shredded Mojo Pork
This meal is simple ingredients, that when combined together make for a super scrumptious meal. We're pressure cooking this pork roast with citrus juices and some lots of garlic, and a touch of smoky flavor from the ground cumin. This combo will really flavor up the pork. Once it's finished in the Instant Pot, you can shred the pork meat into the sauce and serve over rice … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Garlic-Orange Pork Tenderloin
So much flavor. So much. I'll be honest, I think that pork tends to be bland...and has more trouble than chicken taking of flavor. But, this slow cooker garlic-orange pork tenderloin is just magical. The slow cooker, plus the acidity from the orange juice, plus the other flavors in the marinade -- magical (and easy) dinner. This is also freezer friendly, which … [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...]
