Right now, in late summer, when Bell Peppers and Tomatoes are abundant (Can you have too many? I think not!) is the perfect time to use them with wild abandon! This Spanish-leaning Easy Chicken & Peppers Bake fits the bill!
Those glorious juices are so good when the dish is served over rice or with bread to sop them up.
Raise your hand if you’re in serious need of comfort – coz I’ve got the answer right here. It’s Chicken & Biscuit Casserole (It’s like a pot pie with biscuits on top) and it might not cure all your issues, but for just a while at least, it’s gonna transport you to your happy place.

One of the best vegetables to freeze, as far as quality when it comes out of the freezer, is beans and I love Blanching & Freezing Beans. It doesn’t matter what kind: green beans, snap beans, or wax beans. It’s also super simple to grow beans, but that’s a whole ‘nuther thing, so no worries if you don’t grow your own. You can easily use beans from the farmer’s market or the grocery store or wherever you normally get your fresh green (or other) beans from.

I’ve had Feijoada on my mind for a long time. I made Feijoada years ago but it was one of those “Hey, it’s not you, it’s me” kind of things. It was ok, but not great. It wasn’t until I tasted a lot more Brazilian food that I “got” not just the flavor but the spirit of the dish and what a difference that has made. But guess what? This time I did it in my Instant Pot. And it was easy! So here, for your dining pleasure is Instant Pot Brazilian Feijoada!

My son and I had the best time making these little Pulled Pork Mini Bells the other day. They were each just a perfect scrumptious little bite or two and I thought they might make a great lower carb option for a casual holiday party or a game day. Fair warning: they’re a crowd pleaser and are going to go fast!
