Air Fryer Taquitos
I LOVE Mexican food. Someone asked me recently, if there was one food you had to eat for the rest of your life, what would it be? My answer is Mexican. Hands down. No hesitation. Heck, I’m making it for dinner tonight! I am always looking for new Mexican recipes that I can fit into…
Fried Pot Stickers
This is a recipe I have been making for years. My kids go crazy for them when I make them. I have to keep them at bay just to get them to the table. They are so tasty and are fairly easy to make. They just take a minute – by minute, I mean a…
Pineapple Onion Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese
In 2018 Andy and I went to Kauai, HI for my 40th birthday. During that trip we hiked Waimea Canyon. It was a beautiful hike but very hard. We should have started the hike much earlier in the day because it got very hot on the way back up. That’s the thing about hiking down…
Polynesian Chicken
Third grade was my favorite grade in elementary school mostly because I had the most amazing teacher. Her name was Mrs. Sievinen and I was so excited that I was in her class because I already knew her – we went to the same church and she was a family friend. Our third grade year…
Ginger Chicken
Finding things to fix for dinner can sometimes be a chore. That’s why I love recipes like this. Something different, loaded with flavor and easy to make. Also it’s quick – 30 minutes and done. and this dish is healthy – always a bonus when looking for quick meals. I love to use chicken thighs…
Meatballs with Butternut Sauce and Cabbage Steaks
Sometimes recipes are born from food just laying around that I need to get rid of. That is the case with this recipe. Gabi bought a butternut squash with plans to use it for a dinner that she was in charge of making. It never happened and this butternut squash just sat on our counter…
Rouladen
Rouladen is a traditional German main dish of thin sliced rolled beef. The roll has a sliced pickle, onion wedge, bacon, and mustard in it and is held together with string or toothpicks. It is slow cooked in a crock pot or pressure cooker in brown gravy. We always like to make rouladen at Christmas…
Air Fryer Chicken Thighs
I know you have heard me sing praises about the air fryer (click to see the one I own) so I won’t go on and on here, but really, you should be cooking your meat in the air fryer! It is so easy and fast and best of all – the meat comes out tender…
Instant Pot Pulled Pork
I have had an instant pot for about a year now. Click the affiliate link to see the one I have (disclaimer at the bottom of this page). Some of you may be on the edge about whether they are useful or worth the money, especially if you have a crock pot sitting in your…
Juiciest Turkey Brine Ever
There are so many different ways to cook a turkey. We all search for the juiciest, tastiest recipe out there. If a juicy turkey is what you are after, look to further. I have cooked turkey with this recipe a few times now and it is amazing. You all know that meat is not my…
Breakfast Burritos
Breakfast. Some people say it is the most important meal of the day. I am not a nutritionist or anything close so I can’t claim that breakfast is important for scientific reasons. I am human, though, and know that I need fuel for the day. So breakfast, it’s an important meal. It is also important…
Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls
Fall is officially here and I am fully embracing all things pumpkin spice. I love that when the seasons change our food changes too! Isn’t that what we love about the holidays? Food?!? As we transition from flip flops to boots, shorts to jeans, and tank tops to sweaters, our food transitions from burgers to…
Crumb Coffee Cake
It is not too often that I eat cake for breakfast but when I do – I want a crumb coffee cake. My blueberry coffee cake is amazing as well as my cinnamon sour cream coffee cake. However, nostalgia always takes over and this one brings back all the memories. My sister and I were…
