We cooked this 20 minute chicken cacciatore in our Instapot and it came out with such a depth of flavor from the vegetables, sauce, and chicken that we devoured it in just a couple of meals. We use gluten free noodles but if you prefer to keep this dish Paleo […]
This pregnancy has me craving any and everything that can be dipped in ranch, particularly chicken tenders and french fries. Fortunately for me, the chicken tenders and fries I love from the grill next door to us give me horrible heartburn so I’ve done my best to avoid them. Unfortunately, […]
Beef stroganoff was a childhood staple of mine and I always looked forward to dinner when this was on the menu. When I moved into my first apartment after the college dorms this was something I cooked quite frequently because it was so inexpensive and easy. While this is typically […]
