Instant Pot Chipotle Beef Chili (with a stovetop option)

October 8, 2019 By Lane Leave a Comment

Fall is my favorite time of year. Sweaters, colorful leaves, jeans, and CHILI! I haven’t yet met a chili that I don’t love, but this Instant Pot Chipotle Beef Chili is my go to recipe. I’ve made it on the stovetop for years, but turns out it is even easier in the Instant Pot, and I don’t have to worry about any splatter in my kitchen! Plus, my special ingredient makes this chili the best!

Grilled Shrimp Skewers with Jalapeño Chimichurri

May 22, 2018 By Lane 47 Comments

Summer is here and I just can’t stay away from the grill.  Seems like now that the weather is warm, everything needs grill marks, and everything needs to be eaten outside.  Am I right?  We are lucky enough to partner with Queen Creek Olive Mill, and in my mail a few weeks ago was a bottle of their amazing Fresh Crush Jalapeño Olive Oil.  I was having a hard time narrowing down the million ideas I came up with to use this oil, but I finally settled on these Grilled Shrimp Skewers with Jalapeño Chimichurri.  Quick, easy and delicious.  Try them for yourself!  Or better yet, make them for a friend-they will thank you!

Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup

I don’t know about you, but I am so over all of the holiday indulgence (although I wouldn’t turn away a piece of homemade toffee-I just didn’t get around to making it this year).  I’m looking forward to the lighter recipes of January.  And we’ll get there, I promise.  As life would have it though, influenza has hit Minneapolis hard and I know my friends and family are looking for an easy soup recipe to provide some comfort.  Easy being the key word.  Enter this Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup.  Easy, homemade, real food.  This may be the cure! …

Pork Chops with Pomegranate White Balsamic Pan Sauce

November 21, 2017 By Holly 10 Comments

Pomegranate White Balsamic PorkAs a former vegetarian of nearly 16 years, I am still getting my feet wet in the land of cooking meat. Unsurprisingly, when I first started back into eating and cooking meat, chicken was frequently my go to animal protein source. Easy to prepare, readily available and generally a pretty healthy choice, it can be made a million different ways with sauces or spices which is great for home cooks of all experience levels. I’ve only recently come to realize that pork – and pork loin, in particular – is a similarly great option. A lean, easy to cook meat, it works well with tons of different flavors and is quick cooking for busy nights. I love center cut pork loin chops for weeknight dinners, particularly with a simple pan sauce. I’ve frequently used a basic balsamic vinegar to make a pan sauce and have loved it. So when our friends at Queen Creek Olive Mill sent us a bottle of their Pomegranate White Balsamic Vinegar, I just had to get in the kitchen and play! The result? These Pork Chops with Pomegranate White Balsamic Pan Sauce….

One Pot Chicken Tarragon

October 14, 2016 By Lane 16 Comments

One Pot Chicken Tarragon

I still remember my first real dinner party.  I mean, I had been out with friends a million times.  We had ordered in pizzas, gotten take out Chinese, checked out all of the various sub places.  But none of my friends were cooks.  Although we frequently ate together (and were great at finding awesome restaurants), we didn’t cook for each other.  Until I moved to Houston.  I became good friends with one of my colleagues and his wife, Andria, and they invited my husband and myself over for dinner (how grown up!  how nerve wracking! Turns out luckily we both knew how to behave…).  And that is when I learned about One Pot Chicken Tarragon….
