Honey Lemon Chicken Ramen
Like many other children, mine love Top Ramen. Attempting to keep them healthy and well nourished, I only let them consume Top Ramen when they are sick or when it is really cold and they are begging for soup. In an attempt to create a more nutritious ramen, I decided to try my hand at a homemade version. Needless to say, they loved this version a whole lot more…and to my detriment they now beg for this instead of the quick microwave Top Ramen. I will definitely be attempting more homemade ramen in the very near future. Have you ever made homemade ramen? What do you use in your recipe?…

Instapot Funeral Potatoes-Cajun Style
GUYS!!! I upgraded my pressure cooker! My old one was falling apart, and I had definitely used it to it’s fullest potential. So this last Christmas, I decided to ask for a new Instapot with wi-fi potential. Several years ago, I received a wi-fi slow cooker and it changed the game of slow cooking! So when I knew I would be in need of a new pressure cooker, I decided to see if there was one with wi-fi… AND…there is! I have the Chef iQ pressure cooker and I don’t think I could love any appliance more. This baby not only does what my old pressure cooker did: steam, saute,…

Candy Bar Monster Cookies

I’ve tried and attempted several monster cookie recipes, and while each recipe was definitely full of flavor and variety, every single one was crumbly and dry. There isn’t anything worse than a dry cookie. So I’ve been trying to perfect the monster cookie for a few years. Thankfully I think I have mastered the recipe. With this recipe I also decided not only should I load it with flavors, but it also needed to be a monster size. I used an ice cream scoop to drop…

Vodka-Less Penne
I am not someone who drinks…for many reasons. Other than personal values, I am SO easily affected by medication. I take Sudafed and I become loopy. I take hydrocodone and I can’t remember my own name. I can’t remember my own name if I don’t get at least 7 hours of sleep consecutively on a regular basis. I just don’t possess the mental capacity to add anything to my body. So when my younger brother came to me and asked if I’d take a look at his vodka-less penne recipe, I jumped in. Honestly, my first reaction to his request was ‘just buy the vodka and the alcohol cooks out’.…
