Family-Favorite Ground Beef Recipes – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #154

Lolli — Tue, 26 Feb 2019 15:40:29 +0000

We’ve had a brief spring “preview” here in Maryland, and I’m eager and excited for the weather to warm up more permanently.

But more than anything else, I’m eager for our house renovations to be done so that I can get back to cooking regularly. I’m hoping that this long break from cooking and doing dishes will make me appreciate the ability to cook even more!

This week, my fellow Delicious Dishes hostesses and I decided to feature recipes using ground beef. Ground beef is one of the easiest and most versatile starting points for dinner, and I almost always have some ground beef on hand. What about you?

It has been a crazy week and start to February. Last Tuesday, after our last Delicious Dishes post was published, we adopted a 7-month old kitten named Cody.

He is adorable, cuddly, curious and playful, and he already gets along fabulously with our big, old dog Jax.

6-Course Valentine’s Day Dinner – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #151

Lolli — Tue, 05 Feb 2019 12:01:06 +0000

I was gone most of the day Monday preparing for today.

Somehow this ordinary Tuesday turned into the day that we’re adopting a kitten.

A year and a half ago, we were a family without pets. Now we’re all in.

I have a very happy 15-year-old girl living down the hall from me.

For this week’s Delicious Dishes Recipe Party, each of the hosts has chosen their favorite part of a 6-course Valentine’s Day dinner. Then we put them all together to create a delicious fancy (and dare I say romantic?) dinner.

Family Favorite Casseroles – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #135

Lolli — Tue, 02 Oct 2018 11:01:22 +0000

Hi guys! This week has been a literal whirlwind! We decided at the end of last week that I will be homeschooling my 10th grader starting immediately. Obviously, starting a homeschool program, even if the curriculum is already established, is a huge deal, but I’m so excited about it (mostly because we both felt like this was the right move to make for our situation). So…wish us luck as we transition to our new way of doing school!

This week’s theme is family-favorite casserole recipes. I think a few of these recipes might even persuade me to make a casserole. lol

Instant Pot Recipes – a Delicious Dishes Recipe Party Collection

Lolli — Tue, 16 Jan 2018 12:00:37 +0000

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 to make dinner at least twice a week. There’s not a weekly menu plan that does not include something cooked in the Instant Pot, whether it be a simple beef stew or a favorite soup recipe, or a quick chicken-with-sauce-over-rice.

What are some of your favorite Instant Pot recipes?

Instant Pot Bacon, Corn, And Potato Chowder

Lolli — Sat, 09 Dec 2017 02:36:20 +0000

I’m excited to introduce you to my favorite way to cook dinner, and my new go-to cookbook, How To Instant Pot by Daniel Shumski. Workman sent me a copy to check out, and is partnering with me for a giveaway! Amazon affiliate links are used within this post.

I just got back from a family cruise this past week, and while I was enjoying all the food I could eat, prepared by someone else (I mean, is there anything better in life??) I had multiple conversations with my aunt about my love for my Instant Pot. I was a fast convert about a year and a half ago, when I got my Instant Pot pressure cooker, and I have convinced many friends and family members to get their own (I’m serious. If you don’t have one already, you should get one for yourself for Christmas).

The problem I’ve found with these new Instant Pot owners is that they have no idea how to use it or what to make in it. The documentation that comes with the appliance is sorely lacking in helpful information, and if you don’t have a next door neighbor to walk you through the functions and all of the buttons, well, it could be easy to get lost or overwhelmed.

I am so excited about my new cookbook – How to Instant Pot by Daniel Shumski!! Not only is it full of delicious recipes with beautiful photos, but it answers ALL of your Instant Pot questions. Chapter 1 is full of helpful hints, tricks, and how-tos, written in easy-to-understand terms. And then each recipe spells out exactly what buttons you push and when, taking the guess work out of cooking with the Instant Pot.

I was drawn to this recipe for Bacon, Corn, and Potato Chowder (I mean, doesn’t it look delicious??), so I whipped it up for dinner the other night. It did not disappoint! The whole family loved it!

Yum

Instant Pot Bacon, Corn, And Potato Chowder

Ingredients

4 slices bacon, halved crosswise to yield 8 short strips
1 small white or yellow onion, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, leaves discarded, coarsely chopped
1 pound unpeeled red potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
2 bay leaves
2 cups reduced-salt chicken broth
3 cups (from one 16-ounce bag) frozen corn kernels
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/4 tsp hot sauce

Instructions

Line the bottom of the inner pot with the bacon. Press Saute and use the Saute or Adjust button to select the middle temperature ("Normal"). Cook with the lid off and use a silicone spatula or wooden spoon to move the bacon around occassionally so that it cooks evenly. Cook until the bacon is crisp, about 6 minutes.
Remove the bacon, leaving behind the fat. Allow the bacon to drain on a paper towel-lined plate until step 7.
With the Saute function and middle temperature ("Normal") still selected, add the onion and celery to the bacon fat. Cook with the lid off, stirring occasionally, until the onion and celery soften, about 5 minutes.
Add the potatoes and bay leaves. Wait a moment and then pour in the broth. (Adding the potatoes first lets the temperature in the inner pot cool down a bit so that steam doesn't woosh up when the broth is added). Close and lock the lid. Set the valve to Sealing. Press Cancel, then press Manual or Pressure Cook and use the Pressure or Pressure Level button to select High Pressure. Use the - or + button to set the time to 1 minute.
When the cooking cycle ends, carefully use a wooden spoon to release the pressure by turning the pressure-release valve to Venting. (The pressure is released when the small metal float valve next to the pressure-release valve sinks back into the lid and the lid is no longer locked).
Remove the liid. Discard the bay leaves. Add the corn, thyme, salt, pepper, milk, and hot sauce. Press Cancel, then press Saute and use the Saute or Adjust button to select the lowest temperature ("Less"). Cook with the lid off, stirring occasionally, until the chowder is hot, about 5 minutes.
Chop the bacon. Add half of the bacon to the chowder and stir to distribute it; reserve the rest to use as a garnish.
Serve the chowder hot, garnished with the reserved bacon.

Note: Bacon, Corn, and Potato Chowder will keep, in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chowder in a pot and warm on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.

I loved adding some Ritz crackers, crushed, to my chowder. I highly recommend it!

Creamy Verde Chicken Chili

Lolli — Wed, 20 Sep 2017 16:59:44 +0000

This post is sponsored by Harmony Books. All thoughts and ideas are my own.

Dinner time is complicated enough in a busy family like mine. I want to feed my family healthy, wholesome foods, and instill good eating habits in my growing children. But dinner time is also the time when I’m running to pick up kids from after-school sports, finishing up projects for work, and running low on energy myself. Some days I admit I’m tempted to grab something quick and not-so-good-for-us.

This month, I was sent a copy of the brand new cookbook, Trim Healthy Mama’s Trim Healthy Table By Pearl Barrett and Serene Allison. Trim Healthy Mama’s Trim Healthy Table is published by Harmony Books and is available for purchase now!

This cookbook is filled to the brim with family-friendly recipes that focus not only on making better choices in the kitchen, but also on the value of sitting down together for family dinner. I love “fixing up” old family favorites, and this book had page upon page of family-friendly dishes.

One of the first recipes that caught my eye was a recipe for Creamy Verde Chicken Chili – something totally up my family’s alley. We love Tex-Mex flavors!

When I saw the ingredients list, I admit I was a little skeptical. Okra and cauliflower in chicken chili? I was afraid my kids would turn their noses up at “hidden” healthy ingredients. After all, my kids are teenagers, so it’s not very easy to sneak anything past them!

I was amazed at how easy this recipe was to prepare. I put the chicken, salsa, beans, tomatoes, cauliflower, chicken broth, and seasoning blend* into my pressure cooker. Then I blended together the remaining ingredients and poured the mixture on top of everything. I closed and sealed the lid and turned the pressure cooker on. Then I waited while my house filled with the delicious smells of the Southwest.

I was shocked when my kids started eating that they immediately began commenting on how delicious it was. And then I was even more startled when they all reached for seconds to fill up their bowls again.

We will definitely be making this delicious chicken chili again in the near future. I can’t wait to try more of the recipes in this cookbook! I’m excited to try new ways to feed my family more healthy alternatives, while not sacrificing the time that we have together.

*the frozen small-cut seasoning blend is found in the frozen vegetable section of your grocery store and contains diced onion, celery, and bell pepper.

How We Solved The Summer Time Meal Dilemma

Lolli — Thu, 15 Jun 2017 18:53:56 +0000

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Tyson Foods and SheSpeaks. All opinions are entirely my own. WONDER WOMAN and all related characters and elements © & DC Comics and Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.

As a mom of five kids, dinner time has often been quite a struggle. When the kids were little, my biggest challenge was finding foods that I wanted to eat that they wouldn’t turn their noses up at. I had my share of picky eaters, that’s for sure! It’s so frustrating to make lunches and dinners day after day that they refuse to eat!

Now that my kids are a little older, they’re much more willing to try different tastes, but now I have new challenges to deal with. The biggest that we face as a family of tweens and teens is finding the TIME to cook meals for the family and gathering everyone together at the same time and place. It’s especially difficult during the summer months to find times when everyone is home at once.

It takes some pretty creative thinking to get lunch and dinner on the table each night and to make sure that everyone is eating 3 meals a day when they’re off their normal school-year schedules. Just the other day, I had to remind my recently-graduated daughter to eat lunch, because she was so preoccupied with making a cake that she had forgotten to sit down to eat some food.

I’ve discovered the secret to solving the summer-time meal dilemma – Tyson® chicken from Sam’s Club! Not only is it SUPER quick and easy for me to prepare a tasty meal for my family, but the kids love it so much that I don’t have to nag them to eat. They’re actually excited to eat lunch and dinner!

When I find that perfect meal-time balance (happy kids and happy mom!), I feel like a super hero. I feel like I’ve totally scored because I’ve got the best of both worlds with Tyson® chicken in my freezer – it’s food that my kids and I all enjoy eating and that anyone can prepare in a matter of minutes.

If I’m running late and need one of the teens to make a quick dinner for the rest of the family, I just have them pop a few Tyson® Chicken Nuggets in the oven or the microwave. We pair the Chicken Nuggets with some homemade fries and a green salad or fresh veggies and a dip, and dinner is done!

At lunch time, my teens and tweens can grab a few Tyson® Chicken Nuggets from the freezer and heat them up in just a minute or two. They’re much more likely to eat when they have something delicious to serve up!

For a different twist, we love using Tyson® Chicken Patties to make an easy chicken burger (no need to fire up the grill!). I like to top my crispy chicken burger with lettuce, tomato, and avocado for a fresh and tasty dinner-time sandwich.

I was excited to find a ton of our favorite Tyson® chicken products at our local Sam’s Club. They’re located in the freezer section at Sam’s Club and come in a variety of flavors, including crispy chicken strips, chicken tenders, chicken patties and more. See all of the Tyson® products at Sam’s Club here, or head down to your local club and check it out for yourself!
