Every 2 weeks I create what I call a “Meal Plan”.  I go through all my recipe sources, cookbooks, personal lists, Pinterest and my app Copy Me That and pick 8-10 meals for next 2 weeks.  Yes, I realize that there are more than 8-10 nights in 2 weeks however we eat leftovers some nights, maybe my husband and I will have date night another and then there is also a night for Pizza so 8-10 usually gets us through 2 weeks. Also we don’t schedule dinners for certain nights ahead of time because with 3 kids under 3 our lives are pretty crazy and you never know what’s going to happen day to day. This meal plan is a tad different since my husband and I have started the Keto Diet. Low carbs, high fat and lots of protein. So no pasta for this meal plan….or mashed potatoes…or rice….I’m still having withdrawls but we will see how it goes. (more…)

I want to preface this post by saying this was actually the 2nd thing I've cooked in my instant pot. Two days ago I cooked an amazing pot roast and therefore put this Instant Pot on a very high podium in my head. It also probably gave me a little too much confidence going into tonight's dinner. I received the Instant Pot for Christmas  along with several other people I'm sure. I was nervous…

This has quickly become a family favorite, even after my kids discovered that the orange soup they had come to love was made from butternut squash. :) I got this recipe from a good friend of mine that has been making it for years....give it a try, I promise you will be pleasantly surprised! Ingredients: I large butternut squash, halved, seeds removed 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil/olive oil salt/pepper 1/2 pound of Italian sausage…

If you stick with us for a bit on the blog you will notice that I seem to teeter day to  day between eating low-carb and eating all the carbs! Here is a recipe I love for one of those "low-carb day"!
