I’m just so thrilled with these!  They are the most ridiculously easy “recipe” in the world that I hate to even call it a recipe, but they are my new favorite.  Seriously, they are.  One of my favorite desserts has always been sweetened strawberries on top of vanilla ice cream.  It’s just divine.  This is Read more

I’m finding more and more recipes that I love the Instant Pot for.  It’s certainly stellar for some one-pot dinner meals (and I’ll be sharing more and more of those as I get them just as I want them).  But I’ve also started using it for side dishes. We’ve had an increase in our activity Read more

Hamburger Helper.  Do you love the stuff?  I confess that I’ve never had it…at least I don’t think so.  Maybe my mom made it for us when we were kids, but I don’t remember it.  When I grew up, moved out and started cooking for myself, I never made it because well, I didn’t actually Read more
