Lower Fat Big Mac Sauce

Posted on September 19, 2022September 19, 2022 by Stephanie

Listen, Linda…..I don’t want you to think that I’m a fats hater. I AM NOT. I LOVE me some healthy fats and REALLY love me some unhealthy fats. However, being a woman in my 40s, I’ve spent most of my life believing that eggs were the devil and spray butter was life. To this day, […]

Buffalo Chicken Jalapeño Poppers

Posted on September 11, 2022September 11, 2022 by Stephanie

I don’t want to braggggg but these things are BOMB.COM. That means AMAZING for anyone who isn’t an elder millennial like myself. I don’t think that I have ordered jalapeño poppers at a restaurant or even wanted to try and make them at home for at least the last decade until….. I saw people making […]

Protein Packed Buffalo Chicken Spinach and Artichoke Dip

I know what you are thinking…..that this combo sounds crazy, and you doubt that it would be good. I thought the same thing when I ran across it in Chrissy Teigen’s Cravings Book and didn’t even attempt to try it for a couple of years. You can feel however you want about her, but she […]

Posted on June 1, 2022June 5, 2022 by Stephanie

I’m just going to come out and say it….my toxic trait is that I LOVE McDonald’s. Not even like in a way that everyone loves McD’s. Like, my husband, had it delivered for my birthday morning, I grab double cheese-ies by the 6 count, and don’t even get me started on chicken nuggets and hot […]

Steak, Spinach, and Cheese Pinwheels

Posted on April 6, 2022April 20, 2022 by Stephanie

Add these to the list of things that have evaded me until recently. THANK YOU FOOD TOK!!! We don’t eat a lot of steak at my house. My husband thinks it’s “chewy” and I only usually like super-thin cuts a couple of times a year. Imagine my own surprise when I was mindlessly scrolling Food […]

The EASIEST 2 Ingredient Instant Pot Corned Beef Brisket …..It Practically Cooks Itself

Posted on March 10, 2022February 8, 2023 by Stephanie

I was 40 years old before I had a corned beef brisket. WHYYYYYY?!!! I 👏🏻DO 👏🏻NOT👏🏻 KNOWWWW👏🏻. My 23andMe assures me that I’m Irish, which aligns with what my sweet Granny told me, so I feel ashamed about this. Place this on the list of things the pandemic brought into my life that I normally […]
