Continue ReadingDo you want fall off the bone wings in less than 15 minutes? Amazingly juicy, tender, saucy… great for dipping in ranch dressing? Then, grab your Instant Pot and get to cooking! Chicken wings were the first thing I ever made in my Instant Pot – talk about jumping in feet first! I had never used a pressure cooker before. The only time I was ever around one was at my grandma’s house – and I lifted the lid to see what was inside. Steam. Hot steam. Pressure cookers have come a long way since then… and if you don’t…

Continue ReadingMy You’re a Lifesaver Thank You card was an idea born out of a VBS decoration that I had made. The theme last year was “Under the Sea” and our classroom was the inside of the submarine. I made life rings out of paper plates, red construction paper, and twine. I thought it would make a great Thank You card, so I set about creating one to enter into the fair. Here is what I came up with – a simple to make, nautical themed thank you card that is perfect for everyone!

Continue ReadingA couple of weeks ago, I was cleaning out my recipe box and came across a handwritten recipe for carnitas. I am not sure who gave it to me or where it came from. But, I had a frozen pork loin in the freezer and thought “what the heck!” It was a rather odd mix of ingredients, as you will see… I threw everything in the Crockpot and hoped for the best. Oh my. Best. Carnitas. Ever. So moist and delicious… we ate them as soft tacos with homemade pico and then made rice bowls with them a few days…

Continue ReadingToday’s Black and Bleu Quesadillas is one of those recipes that when you try it you think, “Why didn’t I ever think of that?” I can’t take all the credit though, I was flipping through a cookbook and came across a black and bleu salad with roast beef and bleu cheese. For some reason it stuck in my head and I decided to morph it into a quesadilla. So, here it is. And you are going to love it…
