Hey guys! What a week this has been! I traveled back home mid week just in time to be totally knocked down with the flu. I’m still far from 100%, but I’m doing so much better (at this point, being able to EAT is way better than I was 2 days ago!). Since it’s the…
Instant Pot Recipes – a Delicious Dishes Recipe Party Collection
It is good to be back to our normal routine with Delicious Dishes…and yet it still feels awkward to be writing this week’s post without Aly here (see last week’s post if you missed the sad news). I have to say, though, that Instant Pot recipes are my current passion. I use my Instant Pot…
Breakfast Recipes – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #91
I have a love-hate relationship with breakfast. I don’t love the traditional “easy” breakfasts (like cold cereal or hot cereal) but I also don’t usually have the time it takes in the morning to cook a delicious hot, freshly-cooked breakfast.

Cajun Cast Iron Skillet Potatoes
I recently started building my collection of cast iron skillets and pots, and I’ve been searching for recipes to prepare in cast iron. *Some members of my family are calling me slightly obsessed. They may have left off the word “slightly.” So it shouldn’t come as a huge surprise that my obsession correlated with…
The BEST Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken
I’m so glad you’re here! Are you ready to learn the secret of the BEST slow cooker BBQ chicken? I adore cooking with my slow cooker, but I often don’t think of using it in the summer, for whatever reason. Crockpot meals are comfort food for me…and comfort food makes me think of cold weather….
How To Use Yummly: Tips and Tricks For Bloggers
About a month ago, another blogger friend of mine recommended that I sign up for Yummly, a site to browse through, collect and share recipes from your own site and around the web. My initial thought was not another social site…but I figured it was worth a little bit of my time to at…
The Everything Gluten-Free Breakfast And Brunch Cookbook
It’s not every day that I get to brag to my friends that some of my recipes have been included in a cookbook. I figured that an awesome day like this was worth bragging about…at least a little. Note: in appreciation for contributing to The Everything Gluten-Free Breakfast And Brunch Cookbook, author (and friend)…
