Tamale Pie Casserole Recipe with Easy-to-Make Homemade Crust
Andrea sent me this recipe to make last night and turns out you have to make your crust for the casserole. It doesn't sound like the easiest thing to do, but it actually wasn't as hard as you would think. This recipe was a huge hit with the boys. Zander asked if I could make it again tonight and Fynn in his words said it was: "AWESOME". I'll be sharing the tamale recipe separate from the recipe on how to make the crust below. Hope you guys enjoy it as much as the boys and I ... View the Post
Instant Pot Spaghetti
Last week I shared my homemade spaghetti with meat sauce recipe that Fynn requested for one of his birthday week dinners. This week, my best friend Andrea sent me her version of the spaghetti with meat sauce. It's one to try out because she cooks everything in the instant pot, even the spaghetti! It's a totally hassle-free recipe. You can also add a side of mixed shredded carrots and zucchini as I did. I got mine from Trader Joe's! Speaking of, I had to make two extra stops to the store ...

Homemade Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
In honor of Fynn's birthday coming up this weekend, I'm letting him decide what he wants to eat for dinner every night this week. He chose this recipe, along with the Chicken & Rice Casserole and my 3 Cheese Casserole (my personal favorite growing up). Fynn is the least adventurous eater out of the boys so he stuck with his tried and true favorites. I got this homemade recipe from my aunt and let me tell you guys... from a self-proclaimed NON-cook, it is so incredibly easy to make and ... View the Post
Easy 30 Minute Instant Pot Creole Chicken and Sausage Recipe
I love any recipe that involves my instant pot. Anyone have any guesses as to why? Well, it means all the work typically goes into prepping, but even that usually isn't very time-consuming. For this recipe in particular, it only takes 30 minutes total. About 15 minutes prepping your ingredients and the other 15 minutes, the instant pot is doing all the work! Have you guys ever set your cooking timer and thought everything was good to go, and come to find out that you forgot to seal the ... View the Post
Easy Cheesy Meatball Skillet Bake
This recipe is another first for me. My friend Andrea also sent me this one to try. Disclaimer on broiling: This recipe involves broiling and I don’t know if it’s just me or what, but I always seem to have an issue with broiling things! It’s either not cooked or burnt. There's no in between. So what I did to check if the meatballs were ready was to cut one of them and see how it looks in the middle. Do any of you guys have this issue too, or is it really just me? I need to know! Other than ... View the Post
