There is nothing fried about instant pot refried beans - but it sure tastes like heavy, luxurious food.
This is one of those magical recipes that sounds like it would be really high in calories but isn’t! You don’t need lard to make these beans into something special but an Instant Pot will help.
This is the best vegetable soup recipe on my whole block! Or maybe in this house?
You are probably thinking that you need to figure out a way to move on from all that butter from the holidays. Don't feel guilty!! You enjoyed yourself. Now, pick up your game and start the new year with this soup.
Do you know how to brine chicken breast? It is like magic!
I know I could use some magic right now.
The alchemy here is using a technique called “brining” to transform bland, rubbery chicken breast into something wonderful. It doesn’t take very long and it ensures your chicken will be moist.
Mexican zucchini boats are for those that love burritos but not burrito tummy. You know what I am talking about!
The burrito sits in your belly and you moan, “How did I eat the whole thing?”
These boats are like burritos without the moaning. You use zucchini - which is great replacement for foods like pasta - check out pasta and zucchini recipe and baked zucchini lasagna.
What is the key to great tasting chili? (cocoa powder) Many would suggest that you put a lot of meat and sausage to make it delicious….
I was a believer in meat until I attended a chili cook-off at a friend's house. Of course, I was sure I had made the winner, until I tried the host's chili. Something was different about his recipe and I couldn't figure out what.
Blender banana oatmeal muffins will enable you to make muffins so fast that you will be cleaned up 10 minutes before the muffins come out of the oven.
Yes, I am still making muffins this year. I have made whole grain banana muffins and Kodiak Cakes muffins. The Kodiak cakes are so fast because they use Kodiak Cakes pancake mix.
This strawberry cheese cake smoothie is a dream. I love adding the word “cheesecake” to any recipe I can find.
Who doesn’t want to read about cheesecake? If this blog was more fun, I could rant about beefcake as well (my favorites are Daniel Craig and Edris Elba – who I would like to add are age appropriate beefcake for me since I am 49).
You can’t miss with this baked tilapia from frozen recipe. It is fast and easy - a perfect weeknight dish.
I keep talking about fish because it is a healthy form of protein. Cooking from frozen like my baked frozen salmon is a must for a busy household.
2 ingredient dough bagels? Yes! Frankly, I was skeptical of this famous Weight Watcher’s recipe.
I am a bagel snob. You will never find a supermarket fake bagel in my house. A former New Yorker, I also travel to Quebec every year.
