Instant Pot BBQ Chicken Sliders
Well, it’s a good thing we’ve been keeping a ‘just in case’ house fund because we just gave a large percentage of that over to a plumber. Of course this is coming right after my post last week where I was fantasizing about finally redecorating our living room. This clearly meant that it was time […]

Bacon Wrapped Apple Stuffed Pork
Yes, everything is indeed better when it is wrapped in bacon. We’ve started holding more Sunday evening family dinners, and this past week we served up this delicious stuffed pork loin. A countertop full of freshly picked apples had us debating between homemade warm chunky applesauce or apple crisp. While the crisp won out, […]

The Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic Experiment
March sure has come in like a lion. First, we are getting a puppy! Our endeavor has been a rollercoaster, mostly due to my allergies which limit the pooches I’m able to snuggle. When we stumbled across the Bernedoodles (Bernese Mountain Dogs bred with Poodles) we fell in LOVE but countless breeders only had puppies […]

Sausage and Broccoli Make-Ahead Strata

Meatloaf with Mushroom Gravy
It seems fitting that I post a meatloaf recipe on the eve of my mom’s birthday as it was one of her specialties and a dish that never disappointed. Unfortunately, we don’t have an official record of her recipe as this was one that she always threw together with some meat, ketchup, bread crumbs, and […]

Bruschetta
As my comfort in the kitchen expands, I’m finding more and more joy in planning, preparing, and serving a full meal to family and friends. Sunday was my first year hosting Easter. My father made a traditional Ukrainian Easter bread (paska) and the hubs and I prepared a non-traditional dinner of pot roast, jalapeno cornbread […]

Garlic Knots
These little cheesy nuggets of wonder were actually prepared by one of my friends this past weekend, and I want to be sure to save her notes so that I can make them again in the future! The first night of our trip we had homemade pizza. This was perfect as it allowed us […]
