Lolli — Tue, 06 Jun 2017 11:00:28 +0000

Hi guys!

Pressure Cooker Greek Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Jody — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 01:11:18 +0000

I got a pressure cooker (Amazon link) last year for my birthday and for over 6 months it sat in the unopened box in my pantry, taunting me. I had big plans for it – canning, meals, desserts – but I was intimidated by it so I didn’t even open the plastic. Then I just decided I had to give it a try and I was left wondering where the heck had this amazing thing been all my adult cooking life?

Forgot to pull meat for dinner? No problem! In a rush and need a full meal in 30 or less? Yep, it can do that. So now I am obsessed with my pressure cooker and use it at least twice a week for mouthwatering dinners in a flash like this recipe for Pressure Cooker Greek Stuffed Chicken Breasts- I even whipped up a from scratch Tzatziki sauce to top it with!

Ingredients:

2-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1/2 cup feta cheese

4-6 pepperoncini peppers

1 tsp. oregano

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. ground black pepper

Tzatziki sauce:

1/2 cup greek yogurt

1 1/2 tsp. lemon juice

1 tsp. dried oregano

2 T. grated cucumber

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. ground black pepper

Directions:

If your chicken breasts are large like mine were, cut them in half and then slice a pocket in the center of one side, careful not to cut it all the way through. Otherwise for smaller ones you can just serve one per person.

2. Stuff pocket in chicken breast with feta, I chose one that was seasoned with sun-dried tomatoes and basil for more ready to go flavor!

3. Season the outside with salt, pepper, and oregano.

4. Turn pressure cooker on brown and give both sides of your chicken a nice brown on each side.

5. Remove stuffed chicken breasts from the pressure cooker and set aside. Add 1 cup chicken broth and 1/2 the juice from a jar of pepperoncini to pressure cooker. Place steamer basket/tray in cooker and lay your chicken on top with a pepperoncini on top.

6. Place your lid on top securely, be sure the steam valve is closed. Cook for 8 minutes on high pressure, release pressure naturally and allow chicken to sit for another 8 minutes.

7. While your chicken sits you can toss together this yummy tzatziki sauce! Just mix together greek yogurt, lemon juice, oregano, grated cucumber, salt and pepper. Place in fridge until ready to drizzle over chicken mixture.

Greek-Style Chicken Wraps

Lolli — Wed, 04 Jan 2017 12:00:39 +0000

This post is written by me on behalf of Tyson Foods, Inc. All opinions are entirely my own. #GrilledAndReady

As each new year begins and we say farewell to the old year, the same handful of thoughts goes through my mind…how can I make this coming year better than last? How can I spend more time with my family and less time working, cleaning, shopping, and cooking? How can I meet my healthy living goals (including losing a little weight!) without spending all my time stressing over what I eat?

I love to cook. I really do. But I don’t have the time to spend hours in the kitchen every night. There’s just no way. Between work that needs to get done and kids that need to be picked up and dropped off, it’s practically impossible to dedicate more than a few minutes to getting dinner prepped and served each night.

Typical “fast” dinner options simply aren’t an option for our family very often. With our family of six at home (including three teens and a tween), a lot of the convenience options are just too pricey, not to mention the fact that they are usually not very diet-friendly.

That’s why we love having Tyson® Grilled & Ready® Chicken Breast Strips on hand in the freezer. I picked up a 3-lb bag in the freezer section at Sam’s Club during a recent trip because it’s the ideal ingredient for quick and easy dinner recipes. I love that Tyson® chicken is something I can feel good about feeding my kids, and it certainly helps that we all LOVE how delicious it tastes, too!

There is so much you can do with a bag of Tyson® Grilled & Ready® Chicken Breast Strips from Sam’s Club. We love to add some chicken strips to a salad or use them in a soup. They’re even great on their own, served with a side of vegetables and mashed potatoes.

Recently, we made easy Greek-style chicken wraps for dinner, and not only did the kids declare their love for them, but my husband claimed that they were THE BEST wraps I had ever made. That’s a pretty bold statement for a dinner that only took me 15 minutes to make!

Greek-Style Chicken Wraps

Because I knew everyone’s preferences are slightly different, I let everyone assemble their own wraps, which means that there are no specific measurements for ingredients. I personally love mine filled with a whole lot of everything. My son left off the olives, and my daughter preferred hers without sauce. So adjust the ingredients to suit your family’s needs.

Yum

Greek-Style Chicken Wraps

Ingredients

Tyson® Grilled & Ready Chicken Breast Strips
Olive oil
Sprinkle: Oregano, cumin, and lemon pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
Wraps or flour tortillas
Fresh spinach
Feta cheese, crumbled
Kalamata olives
Cucumber, diced
Tzatziki sauce
Green onion, sliced

Instructions

Drizzle a small amount of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; add some minced garlic and stir. Add Tyson® Grilled & Ready Chicken Breast Strips to the hot oil; sprinkle with oregano, cumin, and lemon pepper. Cook chicken until heated through.
Meanwhile, dice cucumber and prepare the other wrap ingredients.
To serve, each family member takes a wrap and fills it with their desired ingredients. Roll the filled wrap up and secure it with a toothpick.

Pork Tacos with Fresh Pico de Gallo

Lolli — Thu, 06 Oct 2016 13:07:06 +0000

Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Smithfield® Marinated Pork.

It’s back-to-school season, and that also means that we’re getting back to sports, back to homework, and back to eating our normal family dinner together every night. Schedules go out the window during the summer…except for swim team. That’s a super-tight schedule, but it means a ton of dinners eaten on the go or at the pool.

I look forward to back-to-school season with great excitement, and not just because we are all (kids included) happier when the kids are in school and the family is on a schedule. I love getting back to normal dinners eaten around the kitchen table.

This past week I was feeling adventurous and tried something totally new for dinner. I love cooking Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork for dinner, but I’m typically pretty boring when it comes to my pork tenderloin meals: roasted pork with a side of potatoes is an easy, no-brainer meal that I know the family will love. Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork is Real Flavor, Real Fast, and I love that I can always count on Food Lion to have a good selection of flavors and cuts (Tenderloin, Loin Filet, and Sirloin) to grab for our family dinners.

This week, I had a new idea…and I wasn’t sure that it would work until I took my first bite.

And oh-my-goodness, it worked!

I can’t wait to make this easy weeknight meal again and again.

Pork Tacos with Fresh Pico de Gallo

Ingredients:

1 Smithfield Marinated Roasted Garlic & Herb Pork Loin Filet
Small flour tortillas
Cooked rice
Fresh cilantro, chopped
Toppings: chopped green onion, sour cream and shredded cheese, if desired

Fresh pico de gallo:

Mix together in a small bowl:

3-4 fresh tomatoes, diced
1 small onion, diced (white onions work best, but I’ve also used red onion)
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 fresh jalapeno, chopped, seeds removed
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Dash of pepper

Directions:

Cut pork loin filet into cubes. Sauté in a hot skillet until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Serve pork in a warmed tortilla on top of rice. Top with fresh pico de gallo, sour cream, and cheese. Sprinkle with extra cilantro and green onions.

Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork is an easy meal solution for any night of the week, even those busy nights with homework and sports practice. I love that I can use pork for any occasions, not just special ones. These tacos are ready in well under 30 minutes, so you don’t have to worry about spending all evening in the kitchen because it comes marinated! My husband commented on how fresh and tasty these tacos were – Smithfield really is #RealFlavorRealFast!

Easy Thai Peanut Curry Chicken and Vegetables

Lolli — Fri, 08 Jul 2016 16:37:07 +0000

This recipe for easy Thai peanut curry chicken and vegetables is the bomb! Emphasis on the EASY. Who doesn’t love a family dinner idea that is ready in about 30 minutes? You are going to love it!

Do you ever base an entire meal on a single ingredient you find in your cupboard and are determined to use? I’ve had a jar of Red Curry Sauce from Trader Joe’s (<—psst…that’s an Amazon affiliate link to the red curry sauce I used, just in case you don’t have a Trader Joe’s nearby) in my pantry for what feels like ages, and I decided it was finally time to do something with it.

This dinner was so easy, so quick, and so delicious. What more do you need to know? I made it unique by throwing in a few vegetables, but this sauce is so versatile that you could add a different variety of vegetables or just skip the veggies altogether. Although the veggies were my favorite part (I got to eat some of the kids’ extra, unwanted vegetables, because even teenagers are picky sometimes!).

I made this dish in my large 12-inch cast iron skillet (another Amazon affiliate link) but you can use any large skillet. I’m just partial to my cast iron!

Easy Chicken Cacciatore

Lolli — Mon, 23 May 2016 13:54:36 +0000

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Classico Riserva for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

I love to cook. I really do. But I don’t always love cooking right in the middle of drop offs and pick ups and homework and practices. It can be a chaotic time for the family, so the more quick and easy dinner recipes I can find, the better.

Spaghetti and homemade meatballs has been a stand-by meal for as long as I’ve been a mom, but this past week I was determined to find a delicious recipe that I could make using chicken and spaghetti sauce. I was inspired by the Classico Riserva Pasta Sauce I had on the shelf, and I decided to try to make an easy chicken cacciatore for dinner this week.

You have got to try this recipe! Not only is it simple (with only a handful of basic ingredients), but it’s delicious….and it tastes like you’ve spent all day making it!

Author: Food Fun Family

Serves: 6

Ingredients

6 pieces of boneless, skinless chicken (I used a mixture of chicken breasts and thighs)
1 cup flour
3 tablespoons olive oil
8-10 mini bell peppers, seeded and sliced
½ cup yellow onion, chopped
1 jar (24 ounces) Classico Riserva Pasta Sauce (I used Eggplant & Artichoke)
1 teaspoon dried basil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Parmesan cheese
Cooked spaghetti

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large, heavy skillet (I used my favorite cast iron skillet).
Dip each piece of chicken in a shallow bowl of flour. Cover both sides. Add chicken to hot skillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Heat chicken, turning once, until lightly browned on both sides.
Add sliced mini bells and onion on top of chicken. Pour the full jar of Classico Riserva Pasta Sauce on top of everything. Sprinkle with dried basil. Turn heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
To serve, sprinkle generously with Parmesan cheese and serve over hot spaghetti.

And now for the visual step-by-step instructions:

As simple as this dish was to make, it really did have a “fancy” taste, and I think that can be attributed to the Classico Riserva Pasta Sauce. Did you know that Classico Riserva sauces come in 5 delicious varieties – Marinara, Eggplant & Artichoke, Roasted Garlic, Arrabbiata and Puttanesca – and are made with no artificial ingredients or added sugar?

We’ve tried both the Eggplant and Artichoke and the Puttanesca and love both of them! Full of premium ingredients like vine-ripened tomatoes, sea salt, and the perfect balance of herbs and spices, these sauces are a treat for your taste buds. It’s time to “Open up a Bottle of the Good Stuff.”

Enter to WIN three bottles of Classico Riserva Pasta Sauce

One winner will receive three (3) VIP coupons for your choice of Classico Riserva Pasta Sauce. This fun giveaway will run through June 4 at 11:59 pm ET. A winner will be chosen at random and notified via email. Good luck!

Meatloaf Muffins with Ranch Style Mashed Potatoes

Lolli — Mon, 11 Apr 2016 15:13:06 +0000

I am excited to feature a guest post recipe from a fellow blogger today as I get ready to head out of town for my daughter’s wedding. Please show her some love!

Mariah is a full time children’s photographer and the owner of “Spaghetti and Mashed Potatoes”, a food blog about eating healthy and unprocessed foods without crazy ingredients, and doing it all on the average person’s income. Eating healthy and avoiding chemicals and additives does not have to be complicated or expensive, see how she does it here: spaghettiandmashedpotatoes.com

Meatloaf Muffins | Two Recipes in One!

An old classic: Meatloaf. Mom’s signature dish. Either you like it or you don’t (I, for one, love it!). Which is odd since I am not a fan of eating a lot of meat all at once. But the meat with the mashed potatoes in these recipes mixes it up just enough to make it one of our favorites!

This is also a very easy dump, mix and bake type recipe. There are no difficult steps, or weird things that you’ll have to spend tons of money on. Just simple wholesome ingredients!

For the meatloaf, I would recommend grass-fed organic beef, or at least a low fat content variety. Since you will be baking it, the fat won’t be drained out, so a low fat content will help with not having a lot of excess fat with your meal.

You can eat the meatloaf muffins as is, (with some optional ketchup on top per the comfort food rule!) or add the mashed potato topping, which you can whip up before your meatloaf is done in the oven.

The mashed potatoes can be made with any kind of potatoes, even sweet potatoes would work! I used large reds for this recipe.

Meatloaf Muffins with Ranch Style Mashed Potatoes

Author: Lolli

Serves: 12

Ingredients

Meatloaf

1 lb Ground Beef
½ Cup Whole Grain Rolled Oats
1 Egg
½ Tsp Pepper
1 Tsp Salt
½ Cup Diced Onion
2 Cloves of Garlic minced, or an equal amount of store bought minced garlic.
¼ Cup Ketchup
¼ Cup Milk

Ranch Style Mashed Potatoes

5 Medium Potatoes
¼ tsp Parsley
¼ tsp Dill
¼ tsp Salt
¼ tsp Pepper
¼ tsp Garlic Powder
¼ tsp Onion Powder
⅓ Cup Buttermilk

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Add all of the ingredients to a mixing bowl and mix with your hands or a stand mixer. Be sure to get everything incorporated well.
Grease a cupcake pan, or place silicone cupcake liners in one. (I swear by silicone and it works exceptionally well with meat, it won’t stick!)
Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for one hour. Be sure to cut one open before calling it done to be sure it’s cooked all the way through to your liking.

Ranch Style Mashed Potatoes

Put a pot of water on the stove the appropriate size for your potatoes to cook in. Let it heat up while you do step number two.
Peel and chop your potatoes, you can leave the peel on, but be sure to clean them well if you do.
Once the water is boiling add in the potatoes and cook them until they are tender, about 20 minutes.
Strain the potatoes, and put them into a stand mixer or a bowl to use a hand mixer with.
Add in the spices and buttermilk and mix well. They should fluff up a bit.
I used an ice-cream scoop to put the mashed potatoes on the meatloaf muffins, but you can use a spoon, or simply just eat them together.

Notes

For the Ketchup, since I have tried and just dislike making my own ketchup a lot, I use Hunts brand. There are no corn syrups, just a few ingredients, and it’s affordable. Even when you make ketchup at home you add sugar, it just doesn’t taste right without it!
I used whole milk, but any milk will work, including almond or soy!
An optional ingredient would be cheese, just mix it in with the rest of it before putting it into the muffin cups.

Note: The amount that this makes will vary by the amount of potatoes and the size that you use. It also depends on how much your family likes potatoes, more might be better for those who love their potatoes!

15 Minute Creamy Tomato and Sausage Fettuccine

Lolli — Sat, 20 Feb 2016 00:51:48 +0000

Believe it or not, sometimes I cook dinner for my family JUST to cook dinner for my family….not to make a gorgeous meal to share on Pinterest. And sometimes I don’t plan ahead and it gets to be 5:30 and the crew is getting hungry and I have no idea what to feed them.

It happens quite frequently, actually.

This meal did not start out as something I wanted to share with anyone else, because it was just one of those “throw something together” dinners. But then I snapped a picture (with horrible lighting, I might add!) and shared it on Instagram and so many people loved it that I decided I’d better snap a few more pictures and write up a recipe.

When I don’t know what to cook, I look through the fridge, freezer, and on the shelves to see what I might be able to throw together. When I’m pressed for time and ideas, I tend to skip the traditional recipes and cookbooks and instead base a meal on whatever ingredient I can find that sparks some inspiration.

This past week, I found some smoked sausage in the freezer (a family-staple that we almost always have on hand) and I knew I had some sun dried tomato pesto and fettuccine on hand in the pantry. I figured that I could use those three ingredients to make something worth eating.

You guys. It was so good!

I love when I discover recipes that are so easy to make and hardly take any prep time for those weeknights when I simply don’t have time, energy, OR inspiration to make something fancy.

Bonus points when they taste good and everyone likes them, too.

Easy Chicken Fajita Quesadillas

Lolli — Tue, 29 Sep 2015 18:00:58 +0000

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hormel Foods, LLC. for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

Feeding a large family is hard work. I love finding ways that make meal and snack time easier and less time-consuming. That’s exactly what I found with these easy chicken fajita quesadillas I made this weekend using Hormel Premium Chunk Chicken. It has opened my eyes to snacks outside the box. Instead of reaching for sweets, we can reach for filling and tasty snacks that we feel good about.

I have been loving the HORMEL® Premium Chicken Breast that I picked up at the grocery store the other day! It’s an easy way to add great-tasting, satisfying protein to our family meals and snacks. I love how Hormel brands make recipes quick, easy, affordable and tasty!

On Friday, I made a family-friendly on-the-go dinner in less than 15 minutes (check out my recipe for Chicken Caesar Salad Pinwheels) and then I brainstormed with my teenage daughters to come up with a tasty and easy-to-prepare school lunch and after-school snack option. We are really trying to snack “outside the box” this year and come up with better solutions for filling up our bellies. I suggested a baked chicken fajita quesadilla and the girls were enthusiastically for it!

I wanted to make sure that I made something that would travel well and taste great (so they eat it instead of waste it). I loved that I could make several quesadillas at once and toss them in a bag in the fridge for the kids to put in their school lunches in the morning.

When the kids get home from school, they’re always hungry. These quesadillas reheat nicely (since we all love love hot, melty cheese) and are and easy snack to grab to fill in that gap between school and dinner time. But they also taste great cold (kind of like a covered slice of chicken fajita pizza) so they’re a perfect sandwich substitute. The best part (for me!) is that I can make so many at once and keep them handy for whenever hunger strikes (and with 5 kids, it strikes often).

Ready to see how easy these quesadillas are to make?

Easy Chicken Fajita Quesadillas

Yum

Easy Chicken Fajita Quesadillas

Yield: 6 quesadillas

Ingredients

1 can Hormel® Premium Chicken Breast, drained
1 teaspoon fajita seasoning
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, diced
3 cups shredded cheese (I used Colby Jack)
12 small flour tortillas
Olive oil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400° F. Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray or spread with olive oil. Place half of your tortillas on foil (note: I could only fit 3 quesadillas on my cookie sheet at a time).
Mix fajita seasoning with drained chicken, shredding the chicken as you mix. Add cilantro and cheese and toss well.
Place a heaping 1/2 cup of chicken and cheese mixture on top of each tortilla. Carefully spread cheese mixture over over tortillas and cover with another tortilla. Brush olive oil over the top of each tortilla.
Bake for 5 minutes and then flip each quesadilla. Bake for an additional 2 -3 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes, and then cut each quesadilla into quarters. Serve with salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or just eat plain.

Easy Chicken Caesar Salad Pinwheels

Lolli — Sat, 26 Sep 2015 15:11:56 +0000

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hormel Foods for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

Did you know that September is the National Family Meals Month? We aim to have dinner together as a family every night, but with a new schedule full of team practices and meetings and youth groups, sometimes a sit-down dinner is hard to accomplish.

The key for our family has been to find several simple ingredients to make quick family meals. That way, we’re still able to find the time to eat together instead of spending all of our time (and by “our time” I really mean my time) in the kitchen preparing for dinner.

Simple meals that can be prepared quickly are the difference between everyone grabbing something at random times during the night and eating alone to having a set time that we all gather together in the kitchen to eat, bond, and chat about our day.

“Family meals eaten at home have been proven to benefit the health and wellness of children and adolescents, to fight obesity, substance abuse and to make families stronger – creating a positive impact on our communities and our nation as a whole”.

This past week, I found it tough to transition back to our normal (very busy) routine after returning from my trip to Los Angeles. Luckily, I was able to pick up a can of Hormel® Premium Chicken Breast, which is an easy way to add great-tasting, satisfying protein to our meals.

Because everyone in my family loves Caesar salad, I decided to make a dinner version of our favorite salad. All I did was add some Hormel® Premium Chicken Breast and wrap it all up in a wrap/flatbread, stick some tooth picks in it, and slice to eat. We paired the chicken Caesar Salad pinwheels with some other finger foods (which are SO popular with my kids!) like carrots, cucumber, and fresh tomatoes for our garden.

Chicken Caesar Salad Pinwheels are perfect for:

lunches
dinners
party appetizers
BBQ finger food
paired with fruit, hummus & pretzel sticks, a pasta salad, etc
nights that you don’t want to heat up the kitchen cooking!

This is the recipe you’ve been looking for!
