Um, please stand by while I overcome an emotional moment while g(L)azing (get it?!) at the crunchy exterior of this ham... - - - Thank you for your patience. People, you have not lived unless this ham has been in your life. This literally takes any ham I've ever had and slaps it across the country to a land where mediocre hams are welcome, because they ARE NO LONGER WELCOME ...
Baked 3 Cheese Mac and Cheese
I'm a firm - FIRM - believer in mac and cheese being a mandatory element of a successful and delicious Thanksgiving spread. I've found two parties here: people that are with me and see it as a necessary accompaniment just like stuffing or mashed potatoes, and then the people who never include it with their other sides. If you are in that second group...why? Who hurt you? Jk. BUT let's talk ...
Apple Cheddar Soup
Okay, wait. Wait, wait, and wait. Have you ever tried a wedge of apple that is topped with a slice of cheddar cheese? Have you?? If not - Ima need you to add apples and cheddar cheese to your grocery list so you can experience this snack. If you've never heard of this, this probably sounds gross and crazy and weird to you. But, lemme tell ya, friends. IT IS SO WEIRDLY GOOD. Such a strange ...

We've got soft, pillowy gnocchi; ultra thick, creamy, comforting sauce; the tender chicken; peas that give a perfect pop of fresh sweetness; and salty pancetta for the most delicious, savory crunch.

All-The-Award Winning Southwest Chicken Chili
Alright people, this chili is a family legend, and my in-laws have gracefully granted me permission to share it on the blog. It started with my husband's second cousins, Led and Connie. This was their chili recipe initially, and they would make it for the kids at a camp they ran every year where they live in Colorado. It eventually got passed down to my mother and father-in-law, Rhonda and Ed, ...
One Pot Cast Iron Chicken Pot Pie
You guys know how much I love super simple but absurdly delicious meals. Also you know how much I love fall and winter comfort food. ALSO you know how much I love chicken pot pie. If you don't know these things, hi! I'm Annie, and these things make me happy. And chicken pot pie is one of my all time fave meals. It's my hubb's all time favorite thing, too, so it's definitely a well-loved item ...
Fettuccine and Meatballs with Butternut Squash Sauce
Okay, pause what you're doing. Did you know that you can make a super creamy, luxurious, smooth, velvety sauce that consists 95 percent of pureed butternut squash? This sauce is smoother and creamier than any cheese sauce I've seen, and it's literally butternut squash with just half a cup of mascarpone cheese and half a cup of parmesan stirred in for some extra flavor/creaminess. The combo of ...
Absolute Easiest No-Fuss Lasagna
One of my favorite things in the world to do is make my totally from scratch lasagna. I mean like SUPER from scratch: homemade pasta, homemade sauce - we even home make the ricotta (actually super easy). I make it when there's a really special occasion or when I'm feeling like spending an afternoon in the kitchen cooking something super labor intensive, because that can be calming and therapeutic ...
Instant Pot Beef Stew
Can we just...can I just....can you just...LOOK HOW COMFORTING THIS IS. As I am writing this post, it is forty degrees and super gray and rainy outside my window. Do you know how hard I could go for a piping hot bowl of this beef stew right now?! There are no words. The broth is ridiculously thick, rich, and loaded with flavor from the meat and veggies that have pressure cooked into the liquid ...
Beef Stroganoff
Can I just start by saying that this is like THE definition of comfort food? Noodles smothered in a creamy, flavorful sauce loaded up with tender ground beef, mushrooms, onion, and garlic. It's just GOOD - that's the best way to describe it. Just straight up good food. Beef stroganoff is one of those cafeteria slash frozen food classics that you always seem to see. I'm talking the overcooked ...
