I will admit that I did not get into the whole Instant Pot craze at first. I didn’t understand what the excitement was all about and I didn’t see the need to buy one more appliance that I would have to find space for in my cupboards. However, this past summer I found a brand …
A few Thanksgivings ago I was in charge of the sweet potato dish for our dinner at my in-laws. I was going to make roasted sweet potatoes in the oven, but my mother-in-law didn’t have a couple of the spices that the recipe called for. She did have a container of Pumpkin Spice so we …
While I love cooking meals that take a little prep work and time to cook in the oven, sometimes I need a meal that I can get on the table in a short amount of time. I know that we are also getting into the busy season that includes after school sports practices and recitals. …
In reality this is probably more like a yakisoba teriyaki stir fry since it contains yakisoba noodles, but we have always just called it chicken stir fry. I came up with this tasty dish a few years ago when I was craving teriyaki. However, we didn’t have a decent teriyaki food restaurant in town and …
With just a few ingredients, these burritos are super easy to make and get on the table in a short amount of time. They are perfect for those nights when you need a quick and easy meal. Even though these burritos don’t require a lot of ingredients, they are still packed full of flavor and …

I know it’s hard to imagine right now when we are enjoying these warm summer days filled with swimming and eating popsicles, but school will be starting before we know it.

I love the BLTA Croissant from Red Robin. It’s what I get pretty much every time we go there. I’ve tried other menu items, but I love this sandwich so much that I just can’t resist ordering it. Since our kids have gotten old enough where they can’t just share my fries or meal when …
I’m sure that by now you have heard of Amazon Prime. What did we do before we could order pretty much anything from Amazon, receive it 2 days after we ordered it, and not have to pay for shipping? If you didn’t know about Amazon Prime before, that’s pretty much it – you can order …
I know it’s hard to believe, and probably not something you want to think about right now, but Christmas is only 6 months away. On the one hand, 6 months sounds like a long time. On the other hand, when you are saving up for something, it’s really not that long at all. There are …
