On Friday I turned 35 and one of the awesome gifts I got was an Instant Pot. Garen got it for me. He also got me a new diamond bracelet so he’s officially the best husband EVER. He knew that I’d never buy one of these myself. Plus, he also knew that I’d never getContinueContinue reading “Getting Started with My New Toy, the Instant Pot”

Instant Pot- the Easiest Pulled Pork Ever!
After the boiled eggs, I was ready to get started on something a little more challenging and Garen had been talking about Brunswick Stew for months, so I had to have pulled pork for that to happen. Back to Pinterest I went to find a recipe. Skip back to yesterday though….While at Sam’s Club, weContinueContinue reading “Instant Pot- the Easiest Pulled Pork Ever!”
Instant Pot Boiled Eggs- A Perfect way to Start
Boiled eggs in the Instant Pot are a perfect way to get started with your Instant Pot. If you’re like I was in the beginning, you’re just a little bit nervous. Starting with a simple recipe like this will make you feel confident when they turn out perfectly……or at least it did me! I didn’tContinueContinue reading “Instant Pot Boiled Eggs- A Perfect way to Start”
Super Easy Sangrias for a Crowd
As I said in my last post on Salted Caramel Pretzel Brownies, we had friends over for Nacho Night last night. That definitely called for sangrias. I looooove sangrias! So I whipped some up. Or maybe I should say: I bought some sangria and fruit and put them together. So here’s my “recipe” since myContinueContinue reading “Super Easy Sangrias for a Crowd”
Sweet Saturday: Salted Carmel Pretzel Brownies
Today I’m gearing up for Nacho Night. More on that in a separate blog. I had some boxes of Hershey’s Triple Chocolate Brownie mix that have been calling to me. Judge me if you must but if you’ve not tried this mix, found at Sam’s Club, you are missing out. They’re super easy and everyContinueContinue reading “Sweet Saturday: Salted Carmel Pretzel Brownies”
Sweet Sunday: Easy Banana Bread
Today I had a few very ripe bananas and decided to make a little tasty treat for the family. My Grammy mailed this recipe to me when I was in college, along with $5 to buy a pound of butter and a loaf pan. Great memories and pretty great recipe too. It seems like we never endContinueContinue reading “Sweet Sunday: Easy Banana Bread”
Sunday Sweets: Blonde Brownies
UPDATE: So I guess I really am blonde (pun soooo intended). I just realized that I’ve already posted this recipe. I guess I thought it was just that good. The post is pretty much the same thing but maybe a little better photos if you want to check it out. Sorry ’bout that folks! HappyContinueContinue reading “Sunday Sweets: Blonde Brownies”
Overnight Blueberry French Toast
This is a recipe that I traditionally make for our Christmas breakfast at home because I can make it the night or day before and also because it’s super easy. It leaves me free to enjoy some coffee before the kids get up while it’s baking. As if that’s not enough, it’s also very versatile.ContinueContinue reading “Overnight Blueberry French Toast”
Repurposing Food: Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle
This is another repurposing recipe. When I say recipe, I really mean more like guidelines for making something you need to get rid of look good. See another post for another similar trifle. I had some leftover pound cake in the freezer and wanted to fix something with it and incorporate cheesecake….because who doesn’t likeContinueContinue reading “Repurposing Food: Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle “
Icebox Oreo Pie
This is another one of my “throw together what you’ve got” recipes. A few weeks back I bought a couple of chocolate pie crusts off of the clearance rack and put them in the freezer. Cheapskate, frugal, thrifty. Call me what you want. I was glad I had them the day we decided to haveContinueContinue reading “Icebox Oreo Pie”
