Did you all have the best Thanksgiving ever?? I hope it was one for the books, and I hope you are still polishing off the rest of those delicious leftovers. I know after the marathon cooking event that is Thanksgiving, a lot of people (myself included) like to take a little break from intensive cooking for a little while and grab some takeout, eat lots of leftovers, or just stick with easy peasy ...

Instant Pot Turkey Spaghetti
Hello, strangers! We are finally home and settled from our big East Coast adventure. Seth had two weeks of post-deployment leave, so we headed down to North Carolina to visit family and friends for a week, and then for our second week, we left Ford in North Carolina with Seth's parents and headed off on our own for another week. We left on a Friday, drove to Charleston and stayed there until ...
One Pot Steak Fajita Pasta
Are you proud of me for taking such a long break from one pot pastas?? I was getting redundant there a while ago and decided to take a little one-pot pasta reprive and not over do it...which...can you actually do? I mean, does one ever actually get enough of one pot pastas?? They are basically the best and most efficient dinners ever. All your stuff, pasta included, cooks in one pot. How do up ...
Teriyaki Chicken Noodle Bowls
Sometimes, efficiency is just crucial in life, you know? Work might be crazy, you might have a bunch of kids running around the house, you might have a million little to-do list items ticking through your head. On those days/in those situations, you really need easy, efficient, quick, and yummy (because yumminess is key) dinners. Let's take this morning for example. I was multitasking as ...
One Skillet Beef and Cheese Enchiladas
These enchiladas are so much fun...everything - e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g - is made in the same skillet! The filling is made in the skillet, the sauce is made in the skillet, and the enchiladas bake in the skillet. That means a few different things...1 - You can feel super cool and efficient. 2 - You have way less cleanup...way less. 3 - Layers of flaaaava. P.S. I am done buying canned enchilada ...
One Pot Three Cheese Mac and Cheese
"Three Cheese Mac and Cheese"...sounds kinda repetitive doesn't it? The thought crossed my mind, but then I asked myself, how could you ever say no to a recipe title that uses the word "cheese" twice? So I left it, because two cheeses in one title = a winning meal. Because cheese is bae. And so is mac and cheese. And so are one pot meals. I know...I need to stop with the one pot pastas. I need ...

30 Minute One Pot Hamburger Helper
Do you have any meals that you used to eat growing up that, despite their unhealthy and processed-ness (?), you love because they're nostalgic? Or even if it's not nostalgia, you like eating them now because you never were allowed to eat them when you were a kid? My parents were pretty healthy people, so we NEVER had sugary cereals, bags of chips, or lunchables laying around our house. And of ...
