Three Cheese Chicken Pasta Bake Recipe

One thing I love about cooking from home is how you can take one recipe and make it into something totally new by just swapping out a few ingredients.  That's exactly what I did to get this Three Cheese Chicken Pasta Bake Recipe.  

I used my recipe for Bake Three Cheese Penne Pasta, mixed a few things up, and BAM a new recipe!  I think you and your family are going to love this one so...

15 Minute Instant Pot Ham and Corn Chowder Recipe

Rain and snow, rain and snow, it seems that has been the standard for weather around here these days and I would be lying if I said I wasn't ready for spring.  That being said this weather does lend itself to one of my favorite things to eat...soup!  So this weekend I was doing a bit of a fridge forage to clean out what I had on hand and decided to whip up this 15 Minute Instant Pot Ham and Corn Chowder Recipe.  

Studhubs said this was his favorite soup that I have ever made so I really can't wait to share it with you. OH!  Just in case you don't have an Instant Pot, I will be sure to include traditional intrusions as well.

Cauliflower Wild Rice Recipe

The other day I was making my Pork Chops with Creamy Mushroom and Garlic Sauce, and my favorite side to serve with pork is wild rice.  You know the one I'm talking about, the old school Uncle Ben's Long Grain Wild Rice kind.  Oh man I love that stuff, but like everyone else I am trying to lighten things up and cut those cards, so I decided to try and find a cauliflower rice version.  To my surprise I couldn't find anything on Pinterest so I though "Mandee, you're a food blogger, YOU DO IT!"  

Well, I'm so excited to say that with a little experimenting I have come up with a DELICIOUS Cauliflower Wild Rice Recipe that is so herbaceous and full of flavor I dare say you won't even miss the real thing!  I can't wait to share it with you so...

Pork Chops with a Creamy Mushroom and Garlic Sauce Recipe

One of the things I get recipe requests for the most is pork chops.  It seems beyond frying and baking people are at a loss.  Not to mention we all get bored of the same ol' thing all the time, and we want to spice it up.  I'll be honest, pork is not one of my favorite things, but my husbands LOVES it.  So when I was thinking of something special to make for him I knew I wanted to use some of his most loved ingredients...mushrooms and pork chops.  

Keeping this low carb, I decided to add a little heavy cream and this recipe for Pork Chops with a Creamy Mushroom and Garlic Sauce was born.  The flavor is out of this world, and I know you're gonna love it so...

How to Make Homemade Chicken and Gnocchi Soup Recipe

This past weekend winter decided to show up to my small West Virginia town.  We got about three inches of snow, so that can only mean one thing...soup for dinner. I was looking through the Soup and Salads portion of my menu and I came across a Chicken and Gnocchi Soup with Spinach that I published back in 2014.  As I become more skilled and confident in the kitchen I like to go back and update some of my older posts and this one could definitely use an update!  

I had everything I needed to make this Chicken and Gnocchi Soup (which is my updated version of the Olive Garden one) so I decided to not only give it a facelift, but make it even better.  I know you're going to absolutely love this recipe so...

How to Make Perfect Crockpot Green Beans Recipe

I was privileged to have grandparents that raised and grew the majority of what they ate.  It's because of that I developed a deep passionate love for green beans.  The favorite of which was my Grandpa's Sammy's.  For year's I tried to recreate the flavor of those beans and failed miserable until now.  

These Crockpot Green Beans have all the great flavor of my grandpa's fresh ones, but a straight off the aisle.  I know you're gonna love it so...
