Macaroni and Cheese has always been a family favorite. This baked version is as easy as using a boxed mix. Hidden among the creamy pasta is a vegetable. So it is a winner either way. Included in this blog post is a single serve recipe and a family size recipe.
Roasted Beef is a comfort food to many people. My late mother-in-law would roast beef and pork together and it was so delicious. We, usually don’t think of coffee as an ingredient in roast beef but the acids in the coffee help to tenderize the meat and make a rich dark broth. I use my own All Purpose Seasoned Salt blend to season the meat but you can use other on-plans Season salts as well. I do think the addition of Smoked Paprika to the All Purpose Seasoned Salt gives a wonderful flavor to the roasted meat.
Spring—what a wonderful time of the year when everything turns green and begins to grow. One of the first seeds to be planted in my garden are spinach and radish seeds. Spinach is very easy to grow, loves cool weather, and is so tasty in garden salads. This easy to make salad uses just a few ingredients but is big in flavor. I can’t wait to plant my garden but since our new place is further north I haven’t planted yet. Maybe this weekend I can get my early crop out.
Coconut cake has been family favorite for many years. I found this cute little 3 cup bundt pan in a houseware store a few weeks ago. It was just the perfect size to fit in my Ninja® Foodi™ Pressure Cooker . This cake is so moist, uses the new THM Coconut Extract, and is topped with a creamy icing with coconut sprinkled on. If you love coconut as much as we do this cake will be a winner in your family, too.
This post was created in partnership with Ninja and I received a complimentary product but all opinions in this post are my own.
Continue readingDo you want a refreshing Lemon Cheesecake Mousse for those special occasions? Best of of it is low carb and sugar free. Lemons have always be a favorite of mine and this dessert was made with tree-ripened lemons. You can’t get it any better than that!! I have chosen to use fat-free Greek yogurt, and reduced fat cream cheese to lighten the calorie load. if you prefer you can use full fat Greek Yogurt and cream cheese.
Wings are a favorite food to get at pizza-style restaurants but so often they are covered in a sugary sauce. These Cajun Chicken Wings are juicy and crispy after being fried using Air-Fry Crisping in the Ninja® Foodi™ Pressure Cooker. The Air-Fry Crisping gives wonderful results without all the fat of deep frying. I loved the simplicity of the Ninja Foodie as it so easy to use and the wings were a golden brown in a short time. Served with Spicy Cajun Sauce these wings have become a favorite in our house. Pair these with a large garden salad for a wonderful meal.
This tangy sweet barbecue sauce takes wings, pork, and ribs to a new level. Best of all, it isn’t filled with all kinds of sugar and corn syrup. I love this sauce and always keep it on hand for any kind of meat. I have even canned large amounts in the summertime using sauce from fresh tomatoes.
These Crab Stuffed Mushroom are great for parties, get-together, or just when you want something special. I cut these in quarters or if you prefer individual servings you can use button mushroom. Our family can never get enough of mushrooms and made this way they are incredible.
Bags of plump cranberries on store shelves tell us that Christmas is just around the corner. Cranberries freeze very well so I buy a number of bags to freeze to use later in the year. I love their tartness in cheesecakes, pies, drinks, and also dried for snacking. They also star in this glaze. Spiral-cut Ham baked with cranberry sauce will be served for our Christmas dinner this year.
