I love using my Instant Pot to cook food hands off, and one of my favorite things to make in there is soup. And really, as long as you have enough liquid to pressurize, and you don't overfill the thing, soup is pretty hard to mess up. I like to just keep adding things I think will taste good, and see how many veggies I can sneak in there for my family to eat. This soup was born from one of those times when I just kept adding things, then closed the lid and waited to see how it would turn … [Read more...]
Recipe: Gluten Free Ground Turkey and Lentil Tater Tot Casserole
Whether or not you're a fan, chances are when you think of casseroles, you might picture tater tot casserole. This has always been a favorite in our house, and we've made many versions of it, starting with the canned-vegetables-and-cream-of-something-soup version, and moving on to a more real food version, and then a gluten free version, and now a frugal large family version that I want to share with you today.

So I started using ground turkey instead of ground beef, and I also started adding cooked lentils to my meat. Boom. More … [Read more...]
Getting Food On The Table When It’s Hard
What's for dinner? Or lunch? What's for snack? What's for breakfast? I don't know about you, but I hear these questions constantly at my house. And while I've been able to cut down on them slightly by having our menu board on the fridge for those who can read, I still always have people asking me what food we're having next. And even once I've taken the step to plan out meals and snacks for seven people (which is a big ordeal), and I've done the shopping (which is an even bigger ordeal), … [Read more...]
