View postWhen I’m entertaining I like to have a variety of snacks and appetizers from chips and dip to cheeses, meats, and crackers, but I also like to have something heartier that might not be a full-on dinner. When that’s the case, I love serving these Buffalo chicken sliders that are full of spicy flavor but also hearty enough to fill bellies while we are all throwing back a beer (or wine) or two.
While these cheesy buffalo chicken sliders are so ideal for game day, tailgating, or other celebrations, you can also make them for a weeknight meal. They’re so easy and versatile that they fit into nearly every occasion.
View postWe have a smoker that we use regularly for meats, veggies, and sides, but sometimes it’s not an option, or it’s just easier to cook inside. When that’s the case, but I want smoky beef, I turn to this incredibly delicious oven beef brisket recipe.
Brisket is undoubtedly a tough cut of meat but with the right ingredients and cooking process it can come out fork tender and nearly as amazing as what you would get if you’d smoked it. It’s all about slow cooking at a low temperature.
View postIt’s no secret that I love to cook, but some weeks I like to plan ahead so I have a few nights free — making a Sunday roast is a great way to do it. When that’s my game plan, I use this super easy oven roast beef recipe.
With only a few simple ingredients and just a smidgen of hands-on prep time, I can have this roast ready to pop in the oven in nearly no time at all. Then, I can whip up some other sides while it’s roasting (or sit down to watch the game).
View postAt our house we’ll put our smoker to good use at any opportunity we get, from making brisket or turkey to veggies. But since we have an avid hunter or two in our family, we’ve really come to love making smoked venison.
Venison is an extremely lean meat so preparing it well can sometimes require some skill. However, smoking it is probably the easiest way to get the best results — especially for a crowd.
There are special occasions that call for specific dishes — turkey on Thanksgiving is an obvious one, and ham on Easter is pretty prevalent. When it comes to the Christmas holiday season, in our household an oven beef tenderloin is a must.
That said, we don’t reserve this tasty roast for just holidays either. It’s great for any gathering and I make it for dinner on weeknights, occasionally, too.
This dish works so well because it’s such a flavorful beef cut that very little has to be done to it before roasting. Then, the time that it takes to roast allows me the opportunity to make all of the side dishes I want to go along with it.
View postWhile I love to make dishes like eggs benedict with perfectly poached eggs or a whole breakfast of fried eggs, bacon, hash browns, and toast, that’s not always in the cards when I’m trying to cook for a crowd. That’s why I came up with this quick overnight breakfast casserole.

View postWhen the weather starts to turn a bit brisk, I am immediately ready for some classic comfort food. This easy chicken pot pie is one of my favorite comfort foods to make once the leaves start to fall.
While there are plenty of pre-packaged versions at the grocery store, there is nothing quite like a homemade chicken pot pie. The juicy chicken and crisp veggies are enveloped in a creamy sauce and wrapped in a savory, flaky crust — it’s like a big, warm hug on a plate.
Some comfort foods can be time-consuming (I’m looking at you, lasagna) but this easy recipe comes together quickly. It has minimal prep time and since you’re only using one pan on the stovetop, cleanup is done in no time.
The next time you’re looking for a simple chicken pot pie recipe with all the classic flavors, try this one. I guarantee your whole family will be asking for seconds (or more!).
Sprinkling grains like dried breadcrumbs or cornmeal will help prevent the crust from becoming soggy from the filling during baking.
Chicken pot pie is a balanced meal that can be a part of a healthy diet when consumed in moderation. You can also adjust the ingredients to fit your lifestyle.
Instead of cooking chicken breast ahead of time, pick up a rotisserie chicken or pre-packaged shredded chicken at the grocery store. You can also buy frozen diced onions instead of chopping your own — just warm them in the microwave and drain off any excess moisture.
You can make the filling for chicken pot pie ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking it in the crust.
It’s quite possible you won’t have leftovers after this delicious meal, but if you do there are a few ways to store it.
Leftover chicken pot pie can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container, or covered with aluminum foil for 3 to 5 days.
Chicken pot pie can be frozen whole after cooking, or in slices — after it comes to room temperature, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or store slices in zip-top bags. It can be reheated directly from the freezer for about 35 minutes on 375 in the oven.
Chicken pot pie is a hearty, complete meal all on its own but you can easily add some savory (or slightly sweet) sides to dress it up.

This Baked Mac and Cheese is not your childhood mac and cheese. It’s rich, decadent, and made with a velvety cheese sauce.
Is there anything more comforting than a dish of creamy, cheesy baked mac and cheese? This classic dish can be tailored to your taste buds by adding your favorite ingredients.
Whether you like yours with bacon, lobster, or veggies, we’ve got the perfect base recipe for you. So gather up your family and friends and get ready for some serious comfort food!
If you’re like me, you grew up eating boxed mac and cheese. And while that’s still a favorite of mine, I wanted to create a recipe that gives it a homemade feel.
Now that the weather is changing here in North Idaho, I’m really craving all the comfort foods. This baked mac and cheese is simple to make, and the perfect comfort food for chilly nights. (Be sure to try our Frito Chili Pie too!)
Hope you enjoy it as much as we do! 🙂
Mac and cheese can be stored in the fridge for up to four days. Be sure to place it in an airtight container before chilling. When you’re ready to enjoy your mac and cheese again, simply reheat it in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
There are a few reasons why your baked mac and cheese might be coming out dry.
First, make sure you’re using the right amount of cheese – too little and the dish will be dry, while too much can make it greasy.
Second, be sure to cook your pasta al dente – if it’s overcooked, it will absorb too much of the sauce and become dry.
Finally, make sure you’re using enough milk – a lack of moisture will result in a dry dish.
These simple adjustments should result in a creamy, delicious dish.
If you’re looking for a quick and easy meal, mac and cheese is always a great option. But what if you have leftovers? Can you freeze mac and cheese?
The answer is yes, you can freeze mac and cheese. However, it’s important to note that the texture of the dish will change after being frozen and thawed. The pasta will become softer and the sauce may separate. For this reason, it’s best to eat frozen mac and cheese within 2 months.
When reheating frozen mac and cheese, be sure to add a little extra milk or cream to help recombine the sauce. You can also add a little shredded cheese on top before reheating to help give the dish some extra flavor.
If you’re looking for a shortcut when making baked mac and cheese, you might be tempted to use pre-shredded cheese. However, this can actually affect the taste and texture of your dish.
Pre-shredded cheeses often don’t taste as great as fresh cheese, and they also don’t melt as well. This can result in a less-than-ideal finished product.
For the best results, take the extra time to shred your own cheese for this recipe. It will make a big difference in the final dish!
Yes, you can make this dish ahead of time and store it in the fridge for the next day. Then prepare as directed in the recipe.
Be sure to place leftovers in an airtight container before chilling. When you’re ready to enjoy your mac and cheese again, simply reheat it in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
Not necessarily. This recipe uses the baking process to melt all the cheese we are mixing in. If you would like to make a macaroni and cheese recipe that doesn’t require baking, I recommend you try our super easy mac and cheese recipe that is ready in about 20 minutes and is made on the stovetop.
If you want your mac and cheese to have a crispy top, then you should not cover it with foil while it bakes. Allowing the cheese to be exposed to the heat will help it brown and create a delicious crust.
However, if you’re more interested in creamy mac and cheese, then covering it with foil during baking will help prevent the top from getting too brown or dry.
This skillet pasta recipe is SUPER EASY and delicious – and if you’re like me, then you maybe already have some of these items on hand OR maybe you have never made homemade pasta before, & you might be a bit nervous – but you’re going to love it. I have made a list below of the things I absolutely can’t live without when it comes to making this mac and cheese recipe. (you can also SHOP MY FAVORITES in my store)

New England clam chowder is a classic American soup. It is made with clams, potatoes, onions, salted pork (bacon), and milk or cream. What makes this soup so special is its unique flavor.
The key to making a great New England clam chowder is to use fresh or top-quality clams. If you can’t get your hands on fresh clams, you can use canned ones.
Another important ingredient in this soup is potatoes. They should be diced small so that they cook through properly. And finally, don’t forget to season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.

Tender and juicy Slow Cooker Turkey Breast is the perfect crockpot dish for Thanksgiving or Christmas. So simple, great for beginners!
Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and if you’re like me, you’re planning your holiday meal early. This year, forget the oven and try using a slow cooker instead.
Slow cookers are great for cooking turkey because they keep the meat moist and ensure that it doesn’t get dried out. Plus, they free up your oven for other dishes.
Follow this step-by-step guide to make a delicious slow cooker turkey breast this holiday season.
Slow cooker turkey breast is definitely one of the easiest ways to cook a turkey breast. Plus, it’s really moist and delicious.
I love this recipe because it is so simple. I really wish we had it when we were first learning how to make a holiday meal 30 years ago. This is almost as easy as dump and go because you can just place the veggies along with the seasoned turkey in the slow cooker and leave it to cook until it is ready.
There isn’t a lot of prep or additional steps. So simple – anyone can do it.
When it comes to turkey, it is always better to have too much than too little. No one wants to run out of turkey on Thanksgiving! However, how much turkey per person do you need?
The USDA recommends 1/2 pound (227 grams) of meat per person. However, this is a very safe quantity if you want to be sure to have enough and plenty for leftovers. Instead, I’m keeping the nutrition info reasonably realistic by choosing 6-8 ounces per serving.
One whole turkey breast will feed about 6-8 people, depending on how many other dishes are being served. If you’re serving a lot of other food, you may want to consider getting two smaller breasts instead of one large one.
When it comes to leftovers, plan on about 1/2 cup (120 ml) of cooked turkey per person. This will give you enough for sandwiches and other dishes without having too much leftover Turkey Day food!
The best way for a turkey to be cooked is with high heat, which will kill all the bacteria in the turkey. The USDA recommends cooking your turkey at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes per pound of weight when using a conventional oven.
When cooking with a slow cooker, the heat and steam trapped under the lid will help to cook the turkey. Try not to open the lid too often to check on it.
Slow cooking of a turkey breast can be done until the internal temp reaches 165 degrees.
It takes about 24-48 hours for a turkey breast to thaw in the refrigerator. To speed up the process, you can place the turkey breast in a cold water bath and change the water every 30 minutes. I don’t recommend thawing in the microwave.
Yes, you can slow cook a skin-on turkey breast. However, the skin will not be as crispy as if it were roasted in the oven.
While you can do this – that doesn’t mean that you should. I highly recommend that you don’t try to do this with a frozen turkey breast.
When cooking with a slow cooker – the meat will sit at an unsafe temperature for far too long when cooking slowly. So this could make you and your guests quite sick. It also will make the cooking process VERY long.
This won’t result in a very good meal. You will likely have dry, tough turkey on the outside and potentially unsafe turkey on the inside. Please use a fresh or fully thawed turkey for this recipe.
While this turkey breast is very versatile and can be served with just about anything – here is a list of our favorite recipes that we pair with this great main dish.
PRO TIP: After the turkey breast is cooked, it may be baked under a broiler for about 4 minutes to get a crispy outer layer (this isn’t required).
PLEASE BE SURE TO DISINFECT YOUR SINK AND THE SURROUNDING COUNTERTOPS AFTER RINSING THE TURKEY. While I don’t typically recommend rinsing poultry because it just spreads any microbes around your kitchen – when it comes to turkey, you need to at least rinse off the extra juices in the packaging.
Don’t worry – all the microbes will cook out – but the sink and any areas where things could have splashed will need to be properly disinfected. Use a wipe or spray and be sure to leave it on for the recommended time so you aren’t spreading things around your kitchen.
You bet. We like to keep the leftovers in the fridge for a couple of days for quick and easy meals. But if it looks like we aren’t going to be able to eat it all within 3-4 days – then I toss the remaining leftovers in a zip-top bag and freeze it for up to 2 months.
It’s great to add it to a last-minute dinner-like soup in the Instant Pot. I don’t even have to thaw it first.
The most important thing to remember when using a meat thermometer is that it needs to be in the thickest part of the meat since that will take the longest to heat all the way through and come to the proper temperature.
The tip of a digital thermometer should be inserted into the center of a large roast, turkey, or other whole bird. The probe should not touch the bone or any other cold spot.
Insert the probe slowly and carefully until it touches an internal part of the meat and takes its reading without touching or moving any internal parts such as bones or fat.
When it comes to turkey breast, you have the option of using a boneless or bone-in turkey breast. Both options will work for this recipe, but the bone-in turkey breast will take more time to cook.

We actually have 3 air fryers. I have a smaller one from Phillips that we started with. I have since given that to my son since he’s only cooking for 1.
But the more I used the air fryer I realized I really wanted a digital screen. It wasn’t any more expensive, in fact- our XL air fryer from GoWISE was less expensive than the Phillips and I love its ease & extra functions.
Plus it comes with a lot of the extra accessories I like to use when cooking with my fryer.
But I when I started working on my second air fryer book, I wanted to change things up. I picked up this LARGE air fryer that has been wonderful. It has Touch Screen Presets plus it is XL Family Size, which is great!

Air Fryer Teriyaki Chicken is a quick and easy dinner recipe that is ready to enjoy in less than an hour. Simple, saucy, and delicious!
Are you looking for a new and delicious way to cook chicken? If so, you should definitely try air frying it! Air frying is a great cooking method because it produces crispy results without using any oil.
In this recipe, we’ll show you how to make teriyaki chicken in your air fryer. The best part is that this dish is quick and easy to prepare, so it’s perfect for weeknight dinners. So what are you waiting for?
If you like teriyaki chicken, you’re going to love it made in the air fryer. Teriyaki sauce is so delicious, and when it’s cooked in the air fryer, it comes together so quickly.
We love this recipe because we can not only get dinner on the table super fast – but it is even faster than picking up takeout. That’s a huge win for me!
Air Fryer Teriyaki Chicken is a quick and easy dish made with chicken, a homemade teriyaki sauce, and a few other simple ingredients. It’s perfect for a weeknight meal or to prep ahead for meal prep!
Air Fryer Teriyaki Chicken takes about 15-18 minutes to cook at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Yes, you can make Air Fryer Teriyaki Chicken ahead of time. Simply prepare the chicken and sauce according to the recipe instructions. Then, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. When you’re ready to eat, reheat in the air fryer or in a skillet on the stove.
Yes, Air Fryer Teriyaki Chicken is a healthy dish. It’s made with lean chicken breast and a homemade teriyaki sauce that is lower in sugar than most store-bought sauces. You can also lighten up the dish by using less sauce, or by using a low-sodium soy sauce.
While air fryers are relatively new to the market, the technology isn’t really a new concept. They basically work like tiny convection ovens that you can use on your countertop.
Similar to a convection oven, it circulates the hot air within the cooking area using a high-powered fan. This helps evenly distribute the heat around the food which not only creates more evenly cooked food but also reduced cooking times.
By circulating the hot air, which contains the fine oil droplets from adding a light mist layer before cooking, and allows you to remove the need for submerging our foods in heavy oils to create the deliciously crunchy foods we all love.
It’s no secret that fried foods are more fattening – but did you know that there are 9 calories in every gram of fat? With air frying, we can reduce the fat by removing most of the oils usually needed to create crunchy foods. This helps to drastically reduce fat intake and calories.
I love being able to cook with my air fryer and eliminate the need for large baking sheets and lots of pots and pans. Most of my air fryer recipes can be made with just a mixing bowl or two or a small saucepan in addition to my air fryer.
Someone said to me once, “why make this in the air fryer if you can do it the conventional way in the same amount of time?” Well, air frying helps eliminate the need for a conventional oven.
Not only can you keep your home cooler in the summer by not using the oven, but you are saving money with reduced energy consumption costs as well.
I don’t know about you, but if I can avoid turning on the oven and having to wait 20 minutes for it to preheat, I’m happy about that. Most air fryer recipes either don’t require that you preheat the fryer – or the preheat time is 5 minutes or less. That is a huge time saver over using the oven.
I love that the air fryer is compact and easy to take along on trips. We pack ours in our RV and find that air fryer cooking while camping is so much easier than trying to deep fry foods on a small RV stove or camping burner.
For this recipe, we are cooking the chicken in an air fryer at 375degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the chicken is cooked through and juicy on the inside.
For this recipe, you do need to flip the chicken. While the air fryer will typically circulate the hot air around and cook the chicken evenly on all sides – I like to make sure that the chicken is crispy on ALL sides.
Unfortunately, you will need to at least thaw your frozen chicken BEFORE starting to make this recipe. I don’t recommend trying to make this recipe with chicken that is frozen.
Sticking can often happen when using an air fryer. I understand that most would think to add non-stick spray to the basket to prevent this. I strongly encourage you to not do that.
Non-stick spray leaves a coating that won’t come off, even when washed. Over time – this will build up and cause smoking when you use our air fryer.
I also do not recommend putting down a sheet of foil. The idea behind air frying is to allow the air to circulate around the food.
This is why the basket or tray has holes in it. If you put foil down – this prevents the air from reaching all of the areas it needs to in order for it to cook properly.
Instead – I recommend spraying the basket with olive oil using this spray bottle. You can line the air fryer with perforated parchment paper.
Or you can use one of these really great silicone liners that still allow for airflow but are reusable and easily cleanable.
Yes – if you have a favorite sauce that you absolutely love – you can use that instead. I like to make my own here because I rarely have the sauce on hand.
When I am making this recipe is it usually on a whim and I have not prepared by picking up the sauce beforehand.
Every air fryer is a bit different and they all cook at different rates – so in general, all cooking times are approximate based on the pan and temperature.
You can always cook the recipe longer if needed and reduce the heat a bit. If needed, you can tent the top if it is browning too much.
Yes – there are some ways to make this recipe suitable for a keto diet. First – you will want to swap out the cornstarch with egg white protein powder. Then instead of using panko, you crushed pork rinds.
Then for the sauce, you can use coconut amnios instead of soy sauce and swap out the brown sugar with a sugar alternative. You’ll also want to swap the cornstarch in this part of the recipe too and use xanthan gum to thicken the sauce instead.
Teriyaki sauce should be prepared while you are cooking the chicken!
There are so many recipes that we love to pair with this copycat chicken recipe. Here are just a few of our favorites.
Yes, you can freeze Teriyaki Chicken. Simply prepare the chicken and sauce according to the recipe instructions. Then, store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat, thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the air fryer or in a skillet on the stove.
We actually have 3 air fryers. I have a smaller one from Phillips that we started with. I have since given that to my son since he’s only cooking for 1.
But the more I used the air fryer I realized I really wanted a digital screen. It wasn’t any more expensive, in fact- our XL air fryer from GoWISE was less expensive than the Phillips and I love its ease & extra functions.
Plus it comes with a lot of the extra accessories I like to use when cooking with my fryer.
But I when I started working on my second air fryer book, I wanted to change things up. I picked up this LARGE air fryer that has been wonderful. It has Touch Screen Presets plus it is XL Family Size, which is great!

Bolognese is a popular recipe for Italian meat sauce basically. The dish is made with onions, garlic, tomatoes, celery, carrots, beef stock, wine, black pepper flakes (or crushed red pepper), and ground meat. The ingredients are simmered together until the meat is cooked through.
The key to a great Bolognese is using high-quality ingredients that have been cooked slowly and carefully. You also need to season it to taste, which allows you to customize the flavor profile depending on your preferences.
Some other tips for making the perfect Bolognese include adding reducing or eliminating garlic if you’re sensitive to its odor or flavor, and simmering until thickened before serving. Whichever adaptation you choose, be sure not to overcook it or it will turn into a watery sauce instead of a savory one.
You can store leftover Bolognese in the fridge for up to four days. You can also freeze it for up to two months.
Yes – this recipe freezes well. Just make sure to place it in a freezer-safe container, label it with the date and store it for up to 2 months. When you are ready to serve it again, you can thaw it in the refrigerator overnight.
This recipe requires that you cook the sauce until it reaches a deep red color and has a subtle tang to it. This means that the sauce has cooked all the way through and is ready to serve.
You can serve Bolognese with a variety of dishes. Some popular choices include pasta, rice, potatoes, and even pizza.
Different people have different preferences for the type of sauce they prefer in their bolognese dish.
Some people prefer a more traditional bolognese with beef stock and onions; others may enjoy a lighter version with less meat and more vegetables. There are also variations that use different types of pasta such as spaghetti or tagliatelle.
The history of Bolognese can be traced back to the 16th century in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. At this time, there were two main styles of cooking – Northern Italian cuisine which was heavy on meat sauces, and Southern Italian cuisine which focused on vegetables and fish.
Bolognese evolved out of an improvisational dish known as bollito misto (mixed boiled beef). This dish contained various types of meat that had been boiled in water with some aromatics such as onion, garlic, carrots, celery seed etc. until they became soft. The mixture would then be served over pasta or rice.
Over time the recipe changed slightly to include ground beef instead of mincemeat and tomato paste replaced some of the watery ingredients. As this dish became popular throughout Italy it eventually acquired its own name – bollito misto or simply a bolognese sauce.
In modern times Bolognese can be made with a variety of meats, vegetables, and spices to create a sauce that is unique to each region.
Spaghetti is a popular choice for dinner when it comes to bolognese because it absorbs the flavors of the sauce very well. Macaroni and cheese is another great option because it has a creamy texture that pairs perfectly with the beefy flavor of the sauce.
Angel hair pasta also tastes great with bolognese because its thin strands soak up all the delicious flavors in the dish.
Our easy Bolognese recipe works because it is made with simple ingredients and has a long (but not too long) cooking time. This combination results in a delicious and luxurious dish that will please even the most discerning of eaters.
The slower cooking process allows the flavors to meld together, while the beef helps to create a thick sauce. And since this recipe calls for only basic ingredient staples, you can easily make it any time you have some extra time on your hands.
So why not give our easy Bolognese recipe a try? You won’t be disappointed!
