I cook 3 nights a week in my house and making family friendly dinner recipes is mandatory so there isn’t a mutiny. One of my early blog posts was about my 5 favorite dinner recipes. I wanted to update that post to reflect how I’m cooking now. We ate those few recipes so many times that we haven’t made them in a long time. We needed a break from them so I’m sharing my new 5 family friendly dinner recipes. They’re also easy recipes so if you’re a beginner cook, these recipes are a great place to start. If you just don’t like cooking in general, you’re going to like…

Things I’m not a huge fan of: Mexican food & spicy food. (I know, I know. It’s a whole thing.) Things I am a fan of: Macy’s Salsa Chicken. My family was just as surprised as me that I loved this dish so much but it is so good! And it’s quick & easy. Macy really isn’t a huge fan of cooking but this quick dish makes her happy. It doesn’t get much better than that! It’s so easy I think that Macy’s Salsa Chicken Recipe would be a great dish for kids that are beginning to learn how to cook. It’s also great for those days when you want…

I think I’m pretty much always on the lookout for a new recipe even if it takes me a little while to actually cook that recipe. Someone that I follow on Instagram shared a basic pasta recipe & I knew right away that I wanted to try it ASAP! Looking back at the picture she shared of her pasta, I realize mine is not that similar but it did give me the inspiration to make my own! I’m calling it “Summer Garden Pasta”! I have become that person I used to strongly dislike: the one that eyeballs everything & doesn’t have a recipe. The first time I made this, I…

I don’t know about y’all but we’re tired of cooking & we’re running out of dinner ideas. We’ve been cooking the same amount that we always do but quarantine has made it feel like so. much. more. So if you’re anything like us & need new dinner inspiration, look no further! In my house, we all have nights to cook dinner. My nights are Tuesday & Thursday and on my nights you don’t always know what you’re gonna get. I love to cook and try new recipes but I also love quick & comforting meals that we’re familiar with. I try to challenge myself and make new recipes while still…

I love baking from scratch. But you know what else I love? Quick & easy desserts. Enter these Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars. The base is refrigerated cookie dough which makes this dessert easy. No need to make your own cookie dough from scratch, though you absolutely can! Just open a roll & press into the baking dish. The first few times I made this dish, I planned ahead so the ingredients had time to come to room temperature, let the dish cool completely before placing it in the fridge to fully set up and chill. Now, I tend to make these Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars about 1.5 hours…

Let me just start by saying that these Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sliders are a family favorite. And if everyone in my house likes them, then they’re good! Really good. They’re also great because they’re super easy to make & can be made a little ahead of time. Let me walk you through it! It starts with simple ingredients: a rotisserie chicken, coleslaw, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, ranch dip seasoning packet, butter and King’s Hawaiian buns. Side note: if you’re not a ranch person, that’s okay! Use bleu cheese dressing instead & omit the ranch dip seasoning packet. It’s all good. 🙂 You’ll mix your chicken and buffalo sauce together, your…
