Bacon Ranch Potatoes Grill Foil Packet

Everyone knows summertime is grilling season. But not everyone uses the grill to its full potential. Sure, everyone grills hot dogs and hamburgers, and sometimes shish kabobs or fresh fish. But when it comes to messier meals – dishes loaded with creamy dressing and melted cheese – most folks just assume those are for indoor cooking. Clearly, they do not know about the magic foil packet trick. Foil packets are a clever way to cook… read more

It starts with a rich, buttery, velvety batter made from German chocolate cake mix, which you can leave plain or load up with chopped nuts…. read more

Creamy Instant Pot Mac and Cheese

Since I got my Instant Pot, I’ve discovered it’s really good for making comfort food – those warm, cozy dishes that used to take all day to cook.

Summer is the very best time to cook with tomatoes, cherry tomatoes to be exact. There is so much flavor packed into those… read more

One Pot Cheesy Pasta and Sausage

When you need to get dinner on the table in a hurry, it’s hard to go wrong with pasta. It’s quick, it’s easy, and even picky eaters are happy with it. But let’s face it, if you just serve spaghetti and meatballs every time you’re in a hurry, it gets old pretty fast. So, to keep pasta interesting, you have to mix it up. For a start, you can swap out the meatballs for delicious… read more

4th of July Fireworks Cupcakes

There are two things the Glorious Fourth just wouldn’t be complete without. First, you have to have a cookout, with all your friends and family gathered around on the deck to enjoy the long summer evening with a delicious outdoor meal.

Homemade Tartar Sauce Recipe

As you all know, I’m a big fan of making your own salad dressing. Why shell out three bucks for a bottle full of unpronounceable ingredients, when you can whip up a delicious poppy seed dressing or cilantro lime ranch from real, fresh ingredients in a couple of minutes? But why stop at salad dressing? Lots of things that come in a bottle at the store can also be made in your own kitchen. It’s… read more

Chocolate Cashew Smoothie Bowl

One of the things I love about smoothies, and especially smoothie bowls, is that they’re an easy way to make a healthy meal. They’re loaded with fresh fruit, whole grains, low-fat dairy…all the things I want my kids (and, let’s be honest, me) to be eating more of. But sometimes, I just get tired of being good all the time. Sometimes, I want something that’s rich and creamy and decadent. Something with…chocolate. Unfortunately, just grabbing… read more

Delicious Grilled Chicken Recipes

During the summer I like to cook as many meals as possible out on the grill. It keeps the inside of my house cooler when it is hot outside and grilled food just tastes so darn good. My go to used to be burgers and hot dogs, but you can only cook those two things so many ways before the entire family starts complaining that they are sick of them. So now I stock up… read more
