I love saving time in the kitchen because I know the best food is the homemade food I cook myself. So when I find tips and tricks like this next one, it makes my cooking life a whole lot easier…

Looking for another valuable use for that KitchenAid stand mixer? How about shredding meat. It works just great to shred some cooked chicken breasts, a boneless pork butt, or beef roast. If you have ever tried to “pull” a pork shoulder with forks, you know this can take a bit of time. With the KitchenAid and the normal beater attachment, I shredded a pound of cooked chicken breast straight from the slow cooker in under 30 seconds.

1. Take your meat straight from cooking and toss it in the mixing bowl.

2. Make sure the beater attachment is in place.

3. Raise the bowl and hit a low power setting for about 30 seconds.

4. Enjoy your shredded meat.

So you no longer need to hesitate to make recipes like chicken enchiladas, pulled pork, or beef barbecue because of this tedious job again. If you don’t have a KitchenAid, here is just another great reason why you might just want to take the plunge. 😉

Homemade Pumpkin Puree

As we are in the midst of fall, pumpkin baking is getting more and more common and popular. The one ingredient all those recipes call for is pumpkin puree. Usually, canned pumpkin puree can be purchased from the store and used in baking and cooking recipes. However, to save some money you can make your own pumpkin puree at home with just a pumpkin, salt and your oven! Check out the instructions below for making homemade pumpkin puree:

Ingredients Needed:

Whole Pumpkin
Salt

Instructions:

Wash the whole pumpkin and remove the stem. Cut the pumpkin in half and scrape out all the pumpkin insides and seeds.
Once the pumpkin is clean on the inside, cut it into cubes. Next, fill a large pot with about 1″ of water and warm over medium heat.
Add the pumpkin cubes and a dash two of salt to the water. Cook the pumpkin until water is simmering and reduce the heat to medium low.
Using a pot lid, place it over top of the pumpkin and let the pumpkin cubes steam under the lid for about 15 minutes or until soft.
Once the texture is soft, remove pumpkin from heat, drain the water and let the cubes cool till workable.
Once the pumpkin cubes have cooled, scrap the meat of the pumpkin from the shell and place in a food processor or blender. Blend till smooth.
Lastly, once your pumpkin has turned to a smooth texture, return it to the pot and cook off any remaining moisture.
Remove from heat, let cool and use in any of your favorite recipes or freeze it to save it for when you need it!

Shakshuka Egg Dish

Repin It here

I just had the BEST dinner! I am really excited because as most of you know, I am eating healthy right now and this recipe is just that…HEALTHY! I promise you, it doesn’t taste healthy… it tastes like a cheat meal. That means you can get in a healthy, low carb, low fat, low calorie meal and it tastes delicious. As an added bonus, it’s a One Pot Meal! Woohoo for less dishes. 😉

It’s called Shakruka and you’re going to love it. It’s FULL of flavor (which I was surprised about because I am not putting much salt in anything right now) but it is still full of yumminess. You can eat this for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner! It also makes for a perfect brunch dish…I just has mine for dinner and it filled me up. Since I am cutting back on carbs, I chose not to eat bread or toast with it which I thought I’d miss but I didn’t miss it at all. Enjoy!

Shakshuka Egg Dish

Shakshuka Egg

Ingredients:

2-3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 bell pepper, chopped
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
(2) 15 oz cans diced or chunk tomatoes
6 eggs
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
salt and pepper to taste (I used Pink Salt and used only a tiny bit)
Parsley to taste (I just sprinkle it all over and actually use dried parsley but fresh is great too)

Directions:

Pour the olive oil into the bottom of a flat large pan (12 inches is great)
Saute your onions and bell pepper until the turn a little brown but mostly just transparent
Add the Garlic and saute for another minute or two to get the flavors out
Add the seasonings and mix until combined
Add the cans of tomatoes (add the juice and all)
Simmer this mixture for about 10 minutes until it thickens a little
Then, use your spoon to make a little pocket in your sauce for your egg, crack and egg into each pocket (6 total)
Cover and let simmer for another 10 minutes or so but keep an eye an it and turn the heat off once your eggs get close to the consistency you want (they will continue to cook in the sauce when you pull off). I like mine almost cooked but a little runny.
Enjoy!

Fiesta Chicken in the Crockpot Recipe

Repin it here

Alright guys… you know that one and only recipe that is your “go to” recipe… the on that you just can’t ever get sick of, the one that everyone loves, that one you make when you have to “bring a dish”? Well, this is THAT ONE for us! I have made the for family and friends and they are always begging me for the recipe. When I explain what I did (yes, it’s only 6 ingredients and most are canned), they don’t believe me.

I have to admit, the first time I ever tried this, I was hesitant. I thought it was going to be funky and not taste anything like it actually does. I kept seeing people go crazy over it all over the internet (in fact, I have to thank My Litter as that is where I first saw it!). I promise you, this will quickly become your favorite recipe. I am so excited about it because it’s not only DELICIOUS, but it’s super, super easy, quick and inexpensive. I honestly feel like I’ve hit the jack pot with this meal.

If you have picky eaters or don’t like beans (I personally dislike black beans and never order them) then TRY THIS RECIPE and do NOT leave anything out. I eat the black beans and could not imagine it without them!

Okay, have I rambled enough? Can you tell how much I LOVE this recipe? I may even love it more than my famous and oh so popular Enchiladas with White Cream Sauce (Recipe here). Here’s the fiesta chicken recipe:

Fiesta Chicken (in the crock pot)

fiesta chicken

Ingredients:

4 chicken breast (frozen or raw – we use frozen to make it easier and cheaper)
1 packet Fiesta Ranch dip (find this by the salad dressing)
1 can corn not drained (use the liquid and all – it adds to the flavoring)
1 can black beans (I drain mine)
1 can diced tomatoes (if you want it a little spicier, you can use Rotel)
1 block cream cheese

Directions:

Add all ingredients – no need to stir them, just add!
Cook on high in the slow cooker for 4 hours (or you can do low for 6 hours)
Shred chicken with forks and put back in the sauce – stir together (it’s a little soupy but we like it this way if you want it thicker, just leave the lid off for about 20 minutes and it will thicken up).
We eat this with tortillas (I like to cook corn tortillas in oil and make them a little crispy – these are the best!!) or you can serve over rice or with regular tortillas.

Fiesta Chicken in the Crockpot

Thanks, My Litter

If you’re looking for a super easy and delicious meal that the pickiest eater will love, then you will definitely love this next recipe. My kiddos are the pickiest of picky and begged to not eat this (before they tried it of course)! I told them nope, they have to at least try it… “what if we don’t like it?!” they kept asking. I replied with… “you WILL”. Sure enough, about 5 minutes later I hear, “THIS IS YUMMY!!”. Yay! A successful dinner that I’m keeping on the books.

I have the pickiest eaters on the planet…and then there’s me, the one who will eat and try anything! I have to come up with ways to impress all of our palettes. I don’t care for super plain food and they don’t care for fancy food. With that being said, this recipe is absolutely perfect for my whole family. It’s one of my favorite things to make and is full of flavor (there’s GARLIC in it!) but no weird chunks of anything (that’s what the kiddos dislike).

This cheesy pasta casserole is so delicious and makes really good leftovers. It’s super cheesy, creamy, garlicky and full of flavor. Did I mention that it’s SUPER easy to make too?! Enjoy!

4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 Tbsp flour
1 cup Milk
1 cup of Ranch Dressing (from the bottle)
3 Tbsp of butter
2 cups Mexican Cheese Blend

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F
Cook your chicken (I boiled mine) and then cut it into cubes
Cook pasta al dente and set aside
Cook bacon and chop up (I love using the microwave kind and using my hands to break it up)
Melt butter in pan and add minced garlic (do not brown) and mix for about 1 minute in low to medium heat
Add flour and chicken to pan and mix for 1 minute
Add ranch and milk and mix for 2 minutes
Then, add bacon and cheese and mix well

Who doesn’t love Olive Garden’s breadsticks…right?! I love making these at home with my other copycat Olive Garden recipes.

One of my most popular recipes is my Chicken Enchiladas with Sour Cream White Sauce but we came up with another REALLY yummy enchilada recipe! This is a simple and delicious beef enchiladas recipe. It comes together pretty quickly and doesn’t require many ingredients. You could do this with shredded beef or ground beef. It’s a little easier to make with ground beef though so we tend to that. Enjoy!
