These Instant Pot French Dip Sandwiches worked out on the first try.  Whew! Once a month I provide dinner for a group home with ten teenage boys.  I had the idea to make french dip sandwiches but lot’s or recipes I saw online called for a shit ton of onions.  No thank you.  😂 What kind of beef should you use for french dip sandwiches?...

Warm Potato Salad I may be in the minority, but I am not the biggest fan of potato salad with mayo.  That’s why I love this warm potato salad that is not only delicious, but Weight Watchers friendly! UPDATE:  On the new WW plan as of December 2024, each serving of this side dish is only 1 Weight Watchers point! This recipe is also a...

If there are tater tots on a menu, I always get them.  I even ask just to make sure if I don’t see them on the menu – ha!  These buffalo mashed potato bites are just as good. Natural Heaven has brown rice hearts of palm on the market!  You can check it out here and use code BIZ to save $.    If you’ve...

This Copycat Baja Fresh Salsa has been made routinely in my house for 11 years.  It is so flavorful! The Baja Fresh restaurant near us closed down several years ago.  In fact the closest one to me know is in Wisconsin! Luckily I had a small container left and my late husband and I were trying to figure out what the black flecks were in...

Jalapeno Corn Fritters When summer is in full swing, you’ll want these jalapeno corn fritters on repeat.  Easy to make ahead and reheat later in the week.  Winning! This recipe is proof that Weight Watchers recipes don’t need to be boring. Can you use canned corn to make corn fritters? Absolutely!  Just make sure to drain the corn really well and dry in paper towels. ...

This zucchini lasagna with pork ragu tastes as if I simmered the sauce for days instead of 20 minutes. This is another recipe that came together using what I had on hand.  Several months ago I bought pork stew meat thinking I’d make some sort of stew in the cold weather.  But now it’s almost summer weather and I decided to grind up the stew...

This chopped broccoli salad is so good.  It will be a great addition to your summer BBQ. The best part is that you can make it ahead of time so you aren’t slaving in your kitchen as people are walking up your driveway. What kind of vegetables can you add to a chopped salad? I love a chopped salad.  You can really substitute any veggies...

This Nashville hot shrimp and grits recipe will be a great recipe to have in your back pocket when you are short on time. It’s ready in about ten minutes and you don’t need to pull the air fryer or deep fryer out.  Winning! What is Nashville Hot?

These buttermilk blueberry muffins taste like coffee cake and I am not mad about that! Per usual, by the end of the week my fridge is looking a bit bare.  My Mom brought me blueberries last week. Buttermilk was also in my fridge and shockingly not expired – whoop! Shout out to Twig & Lace for the cute coffee stir – she has TONS of...

One of my favorite things to bring to a cookout (besides the meat!) is a good summer pasta salad. There are two stars to this salad – the giardiniera dressing and the Galileo® Salame.  Best part is that this can be made ahead of time and it’s good in the fridge for several days. I love that there are both cooked and raw veggies in...
