This was one of my mom’s go-to dishes when I was a kid, and as an adult I found out why… it’s easy and delicious. The seasoning she used was super basic – just garlic salt, salt, and pepper, with a touch of sugar to enhance the savory. But the kielbasa and the caramelization of…

Instant Pot Pinto Beans
I rarely cook beans, mostly because it takes FOREVER. But not with an Instant Pot! I finally got one and have been experimenting, with varying levels of success.

Caprese Sandwich
I am a meat lover, but when I’m looking at a sandwich menu there is one vegetarian option that always draws my attention and often wins out over its meaty brethren… the caprese sandwich.
