Instapot French Dip Sandwiches
When two individuals decide to make a life together, they pick and chose what to bring to the relationship. Sometimes it’s who’s knife set is better and who’s needs to be donated. Other times it’s which traditions are maintained. In the case of my marriage, French dip sandwiches are one such tradition. Growing up Matthew’s family would always have French dip sandwiches on Christmas Eve. When we had our first Christmas together with his family, I was introduced to this tradition. I am a little ashamed to say, that I had never experienced this wonderful, tasty food before. Since that first Christmas Eve, French dip has been on regular rotation…

Instapot Cheesy Sausage & Tot Casserole
Sometimes I create my own recipes, and other times I steal someone else’s and tweak it. Why do the heavy lifting if someone has already perfected the heavy lifting for you? This recipe is one such case. One typical Saturday night, a Saturday night that wasn’t a date night, I was perusing Pinterest…or as Matthew so endearingly calls it, internet hoarding…when I came across this recipe.

Roasted Heirloom Tomato Soup—aka: Homemade Spaghetti-os

I don’t know if it is texture, or it could be I have some PTSD from my childhood when my parents would can stewed tomatoes in the fall and it was one of the worst smells I’ve ever encountered.

Easy Chicken Enchiladas
My family absolutely loves Mexican food. We have to have at least one dinner a week that is some sort of Hispanic recipe. I am also super blessed to have a couple of best friends who are Hispanic and amazing at cooking. So I have learned a thing or two from them. My enchilada recipe is easily in the top 5 favorites with my boys. This recipe also makes for a great freezer meal. Do you have any amazing enchilada recipes that you love? Hope y’all have an amazing week!

Marvelous Mothers: Miss Ozra Kiss
I have had the privilege of knowing Miss Ozra for a little over a year now. She was Yo’s 1st-grade teacher and if I could have her teach him til he graduates high school, I totally would! She is an amazing woman, mother, and an elementary ed teacher. Did I mention she also coaches cheerleading? When I interviewed her, I wanted to know how she handles it all. Her family is perfect and her husband, Steven, is SO supportive. I just had to know her secret. Thank you so much for allowing me to interview. I absolutely adore your family. Your kiddos are SO stinkin’ cute. Tell me a little…
