Instant Pot Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo
Looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal that tastes JUST like it came from a restaurant? I have you covered! I want to share my recipe for Instant Pot Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo that comes together in 30 minutes or less and is something the whole family will enjoy. The recipe can be found here. In the bowl of an Instant Pot, add chicken broth, heavy cream, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Break the noodles in half and place in the Instant Pot. Use a spoon to gently push down the noodles to cover with the liquid. You don’t want to press too hard or you’ll break the noodles and you also don’t need to stir the ingredients at this point. You want to use pre-cooked chicken for this recipe. If you don’t have any pre-cooked chicken breasts, make sure to either bake them or fry them before starting … Continue reading

Oven Baked Buffalo Chicken Taquitos
Taquitos are a fun hand-held treat that are crunchy and delicious. You can customize the filling and change up the flavors to create different versions of the same dish and cook them in different ways. They can be deep fried, baked in an oven or cooked in an air fryer. I bet you could even use an Instant Pot, but I haven’t figured that recipe out yet 🙂 I’ve use Taquitos as both an appetizer and dinner. They work well as an appetizer if you are hosting a party and want finger foods or if you plan to bring them to a potluck. They are a quick grab-and-go item as you typically don’t need a plate or silverware. Dinner is also an option if you want the Taquitos to be the main event. I think you can convert anything into Buffalo Chicken so that is the recipe I want to … Continue reading

A Socially Distanced Thanksgiving
Can you believe Thanksgiving is almost here? It’s been an interesting year (to say the least), so I’m looking forward to the holidays. Although, the holidays might look a little different this year. We still plan on seeing our immediate families for a nice Thanksgiving meal but will keep our gathering to 4-6 people. We will miss traveling, seeing extended family, participating in some Black Friday shopping, and more this Thanksgiving, but will savor the time we do have with the few we choose to celebrate with…socially distanced with some delicious food 🙂 We are going to start our day with a nice fall-themed charcuterie board. You need something to snack on while you cook, right? If you’ve never made a charcuterie board before, you are in for a treat. They are very simple to make, can include as many or as few ingredients as you choose, and make a … Continue reading

Wingin’ It
I’ve been on a chicken wing kick lately. There’s just something about them that I can’t get enough of. Sure, they are messy to eat, but picking every juicy morsel off the bone is pretty satisfying 🙂 There are a lot of words I would use to describe chicken wings…oven baked, grilled, crispy, sticky, sweet, spicy, saucy, tender, juicy, etc.…but it all depends on the recipe. There is also the debate of boneless vs. bone-in chicken. Is it really a chicken wing if it’s boneless? I used to only eat boneless wings because I didn’t want to do the work but now, I usually prefer bone-in wings because they a bit more succulent. I think a lot of people would agree. I started experimenting with different sauce flavors and came up with some fun Asian inspired recipes that I want to share with you today: General Tso’s Chicken Wings Kung … Continue reading
