Brownie Date Balls for Dessert! VIDEO

These are so easy to make, delicious, and great for when you don't want to heat up the house. One of my favorite cookbooks right now is The Feel Good Foodie cookbook. I have made several things from it, and everything has been amazingly delicious! You can pop them into glass containers (or freezer bags) for storage. Just grab a few out when needed! :) I love getting my dates from Azure Standard. The quality is amazing! Check out the video below for the easy process. :) ... View the Post

Slow Cooker Arancini Casserole & VIDEO

You have to try this easy and tasty slow cooker casserole! As the name suggests, it taps into the ingredients often associated with arancini. Normally, arancini are stuffed and fried rice balls. This is a casserole version that is so easy to cook. It would also make a great side dish or potluck contribution! :) I have a VIDEO at the bottom of the post for those that are visual learners. Recipe: 4 c cooked white rice 2 c cream cheese 1 c chicken broth 2 c finely grated Pecorino or parm 6-8 ... View the Post

Instant Pot Dried Beans & VIDEO

I love my electric pressure cooker! I use it to make all sorts of sides and dinners, especially in the summer when I don't want to heat up the house. I have also been known to forget to thaw my proteins, and often turn to my Instant Pot for a tasty plan B. :) It is also great for doing the not-so-fun jobs like cooking beans. Dry beans are SO much cheaper than canned. I love Azure Standard organic, non-GMO beans. They are a great price! No matter where you get yours, you will save lots of money ... View the Post

Bread Machine Cranberry Loaf & VIDEO

I love using my bread machine to knead for me, but it is also great for baking. My oven is then freed up for other things (though, it caught on fire in March) :). My last bread machine pan died, so fortunately I had a new one "waiting in the wings", so to speak. This cranberry bread is great with a bit of butter, but it makes amazing turkey sandwiches, too! You could also use the dough cycle, then make wee rolls for a brunch buffet. Check out the VIDEO! ... View the Post

Rack of Lamb & VIDEO

Okay, this lamb was AMAZING! Please try it! I purchased the lamb from Aldi at a great price and followed a recipe (in the video description of my YouTube video) from Mary berry in THIS COOKBOOK. So delicious and easy! I cooked it in my roaster oven because I was testing the oven out. It worked perfectly! :) ... View the Post

Almond Milk

My daughter has some issues with cow's milk, and through the years we have purchased all the kinds of alternatives (except soy) at the market. They often felt thin and tasteless, so I thought I would try making my own. I know many people do, but I had never considered it before. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Homemade nut milk is creamy and tasty! After a bit of research, I landed on this nut milk maker. We didn't need to make huge amounts at a time, so this is a great size for us. I purchased some glass ... View the Post
