Love quinoa? Love Tex-Mex flavors? Then you’ll love this easy one-pan Tex-Mex Sausage Quinoa Skillet! I consider myself a pretty good cook. My kids are fed (mostly) home-cooked meals, and I rarely make a dinner that’s a total flop. But it’s also pretty rare for me to make a dinner dish that is so well…
Slow Cooker Pepper Jack Chicken
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Crystal Farms Cheese. All opinions are 100% mine. It’s no secret that I love cheese. Especially pepper jack. I like to keep a block of pepper jack cheese in the fridge for myself. It’s a favorite mid-day snack. So when I was challenged to…
Sausage and Tortellini Alfredo Primavera
I was asked to participate in the #SausageSoSimple campaign, sponsored by Hillshire Farm and Ahold USA. Although I have been compensated, all opinions are my own.

Easy Tex-Mex Vegetable Soup
I love a good challenge, especially when food is involved. This month, I was challenged to come up with a recipe or fun way to use Libby’s NEW Vegetable Cups, and I have to admit….I surprised even myself. My whole family couldn’t get enough of the Tex-Mex Vegetable Soup that I made! Although this…

Easy Meatball Stroganoff Recipe
I love a good beef stroganoff….and I’m always looking for ways that I can make some of my favorite meals faster. Stroganoff is one of those meals that can be cooked super-slow (I love my crock pot version!) or labor-intensive (think: fresh mushrooms, sliced steak, and slow-thickened sauce on the stove top). While this easy…
Black Bean Tacos
It’s handy having teenage kids who are Pinterest junkies. What feels like ages ago, my oldest daughter found a recipe for black bean tacos and volunteered to help make it for dinner one night. I love adding black beans to my traditional ground beef tacos (I love the flavor it adds, but I mostly love…
Tomato Basil Parmesan Soup
This winter may not have been a snowy one, but it certainly has been a COLD one. And there’s nothing better on a cold winter night than a comforting bowl of hot soup. To be honest, I’ve never been a fan of tomato soup. I have a distinct and disturbing memory from my childhood that…
