I'm not sure I've ever had a more flavorful beef roast from the slow cooker. I think it's the combo of the ranch, the deep flavors from the beef broth and the tangy juices from the pepperoncini peppers that slowly seep into the beef, as it cooks all day long. Seriously, this beef roast will knock your socks off! I used homemade Ranch dressing mix in place of the packet … [Read more...]
Baked Ravioli
So...baking ravioli. Let's chat about this for a minute. I've seen a number of recipes that call for boiling the ravioli ahead of time and then baking it with the sauce. But I don't have time for that. I really don't...I'd forget that you need to do that...then I'd run out of time. (What I mean by that...is that my boys would end up having to wait an extra 15-20 minutes for … [Read more...]

Ham & Cheese Panini
This is my 5-Ingredient hack on the Monte Cristo sandwich. You'll need a flat-ish bread, like ciabatta or whatever you can find in the bakery. Ham and cheese. And you'll need to panini-fy it - warm it up, smash it together. And then you'll devour each bite that's been dipped into a sweet preserves - like strawberry or raspberry. This is a great and fun way to "jazz up … [Read more...]

Biscuit Calzones
I love getting to spend time with my boys in the kitchen. (Even when they pretend like that are "TapeFace" - America's Got Talent contestant - and only talk to me with their eyes.) But today, it's Cuatro who is helping me with these calzones! He continues to prove himself as a tiny sous chef and I enjoyed watching and helping him get these ready for the oven.
