I love my Air Fryer, I do want to get the Ninja Foodi, but mine still does the job. The mister I use is the Misto Brushed Aluminum Oil Sprayer, I don’t use Pam because it ends up leaving a film, plus you don’t want to use Pam directly on the food either. I have made these a couple times…

Baked Ranch Chicken
This is a really simple, tasty meal. I did add more ranch seasoning. This is a good weekend dinner since it does take some time to cook.
Italian Wedding Soup
This is one of our go to soup recipes. I use a meatloaf mix, which is just equal parts beef, pork and veal. If find it better than just doing 8 ounces of beef and pork. Also my son added in around 1/4 cup of red wine, you don’t need to do it, but it gives it a nice taste.…
Easy Pork Dumplings
Since being stuck home, I have put my cooking skills to work. I also made my 16 year old son help out as well. He’s doing culinary in school, so I need to make him to a little work. These came out amazing. Definitely a keeper, so I figured I would share the two recipes I used. First, making the…
Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan
I love chicken parmesan. Since the weather was cold and nasty, I decided to make some marinara sauce as well. There’s nothing better than your own homemade sauce. I’m going to do another post about the simple marinara sauce I make. It takes a total of 1 and a half hours to make, but on with the meal. I had…
Instant Pot Chicken Teriyaki Bowls
I have made this a couple times, my son loves it. We usually never have leftovers and it’s so easy to make. He helps me cut up the veggies. He needs the practice, since he wants to go to culinary school. If you haven’t gotten yourself an Instant Pot, you should. It’s a lifesaver. I originally found this recipe from: Tastes Better From Scratch.
Instant Pot Tuscan Chicken Pasta
I absolutely love my Instant Pot. I don’t use it as much as I like to though. Searching through Pinterest, I come across this recipe from: 365 Days of Slow Cooking Figured I’d give it a try, my son is a picky eater. So we tried it tonight and he loved it except for the sun dried tomatoes. Still a keeper. If you haven’t…
Skillet Pork Chops with Garlic Mushroom Sauce
I think I’m obsessed with my cast iron skillet. Everything I have cooked in it, just comes out perfect. It’s not dry, it doesn’t heat up the kitchen and with last weeks heat wave it was a life saver. So I looked to Pinterest for some ideas, I came across this recipe. I don’t like to do a lot of things…
Lemon-Spinach Chicken
My son actually found this recipe for us. It is delicious! Making it in my cast iron skillet made it super moist too. What I also liked was the uncooked cherry tomatoes. I have some serious texture issues. I love tomatoes, but I hate them cooked. Leave a comment below and let me know what you think about it.
Beef and Broccoli Ramen
So I finally went out and bought a cast iron skillet. I have to say it’s the best thing I have every bought. I never thought I would ever say cookware is something I would be proud of. I made this recipe in a skillet and it made it so much better. The broccoli was soft and crunchy. My picky…
Crock Pot Smothered Pork Chops
Since school sports are starting, crockpot meals are a life saver. This recipe has a really good taste, but I will never use bone-in pork chops again. The bone fell right off the pork chops and ended up with little shards in the gravy. So no leftovers. Next time I’ll either do a boneless pork chop or a pork shoulder.…
Easy Slow Cooker Chicken & Dumplings
My son being a picky eater, he does love Chicken & Dumplings. Me being busy, loves my Slow Cooker. I came across this recipe on Pinterest and figured I’d give it a try. I did tweek it a little. I didn’t add the season salt and I added a bag of baby carrots under the chicken. All I have to…
Creamy Greek Yogurt Mac & Cheese
I just made this last night and it was amazing. I didn’t add the salt and pepper and also didn’t do the spinach because my son doesn’t like it. It definitely came out creamy and good.
