BBQ Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
"OMIGOSH, these are amazing. I had no idea I'd love them! I'm in trouble!" This is a note from my friend Kari. We were talking about these and she wasn't sure about the combo, then she tried them and emailed that to me.

Instant Pot Garlic Parmesan Chicken
This is a fantastic and easy to cook dinner in your Instant Pot. It's a "2-phase" kind of recipe because we need the chicken to have some time alone to cook, as it takes much longer than the baby potatoes.

Apple Crostada
So.....this was supposed to be an apple pie. Well...I meant to make an apple pie. But I didn't have 2 rolls of pie crust. (I know I could have made it, but I was in a real time crunch.) And you know what they say... When life only gives you 1 pie crust, you make a crostata. Oh wait... That's not right, something about lemons...but whatever. You get it. A … [Read more...]
