Instant Pot Praline Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe

November 16, 2019 by Lisa Pinney

It’s just not the holidays without a sweet potato dish!  Sweet potatoes are one of my favorites and so versatile!  I love visiting a little farmer’s market near my home when they get sweet potatoes from the farms in Mississippi.  They are deep orange in color and so sweet in flavor.  They cook so wonderfully whether in the oven or very quickly in the Instant Pot.

BLT Pasta Salad Recipe

July 29, 2019 by Lisa Pinney

The bad new is…I didn’t have this recipe up for National BLT Week…

The good news is…you can still enjoy it any week of the year!

It was truly yummy and would be a great side for a potluck or summer get-together…

The lettuce did stay fresh enough for a couple of days, but if making it for home and for

just a couple of people…I would recommend keeping the lettuce and tomatoes

separate and add them when enjoying each individual bowl of the salad.

Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower Recipe

May 4, 2019 by Lisa Pinney

When my friend Joyce said she had a recipe I needed to try, I immediately sat up to pay complete attention!

I have posted many of Joyce’s recipes that she has passed along to me and they never disappoint!

This one was all about cauliflower…probably my least favorite veggie!

But…again…Joyce was completely correct!

It has become one of my very favorites!

Creamy Crock Pot Mac & Cheese Recipe

June 29, 2018 by Lisa Pinney

I think my grandson, Noah, runs totally on carbs and especially on Mac & Cheese!

That’s the main dish he always asks for when he spends the weekend with me…

Then there was this period when he only ate sticks of butter…just kidding Mom & Dad!

But wasn’t he a little cutie!! 

I have been intrigued by the crock pot recipes and tried this one for our summer picnic at work. Everyone agreed that this may be the only way to cook Mac & Cheese from now on!

Spiral Garlic Cheesy Roasted Potatatoes Recipe

October 25, 2016 by Lisa Pinney

I went back back in time this week my friends…

I unpacked a kitchen tool I used religiously about 20 years ago when I was a Pampered Chef consultant in another life!

Although called an Apple-Peeler-Corer Slicer, this tool was always used most by our family to make these awesome potatoes…

I know you’re going to love them too!

Summer squash season just makes me happy!
I love squash & onions, squash casserole, fried squash, baked squash, grilled squash…
Yes…I EVEN love raw squash dipped in ranch dressing!
I guess I could start the “Bubba Gump Squash Company–but it just doesn’t have that same “ring” to it!
Well, here’s a new way to enjoy that delish summer veggie!

I’ve been in the hospital this past week and there’s nothing like getting home to REAL FOOD…

the broth and jello does nothing for me!

We eat oven roasted veggies a lot, but decided to toss in some Hillshire Sausage this time and it was just amazing!
