Classic creamy turkey and noodles are comfort food at it’s best, but take less than 30 minutes to cook in the instant pot. I love the look on people’s faces when they ask me about what I made for Thanksgiving. Even though I have this website and I obviously love to bake and cook, I don’t get asked to make much for this particular holiday! The grandmas rule supreme.  I have 2 signature dishes that I make for Thanksgiving dinner:…

Cheese Tater Tot casserole is an easy make ahead weeknight meal. A hearty beef and bean chili base is topped with gooey melted cheddar cheese and finished with crispy tater tots.  You wanna know what’s funny? Not ha-ha funny, but this doesn’t make any sense funny.  We get a quarter of a cow every year, enough beef to last our family of 6 an entire year, but yet I don’t really have any beef recipes on AHB. That doesn’t even…

My Cuban ham salad has the flavors of a Cuban sandwich, ham, mayo, spicy brown deli mustard, dill pickles, and swiss cheese. It’s a simple combo, but it goes together so great. It constantly surprises me the foods my kids fall in love with, like ham salad sandwiches. This Cuban ham salad was one of those, oh geez I need dinner on the table in 10 minutes what can I throw together real quick kind of things. They absolutely loved…

Are you a fan of muffaletta? Then you’ll love this baked muffaletta. Layers of ham, salami, mozzarella, provolone and olive salad are even better when baked into the bread itself! My husband and I traveled through NOLA in the summer of 2003. Being a poor young married couple, we didn’t get to do all the fine dining I would have liked. However, we did find a really interesting dive bar/ restaurant/ laundry mat/ game room. Ha! There was also one…

Sweet and savory with a touch of heat. Quick and easy. Full of sweet potatoes, bok choy, black beans, rice and topped with sweet chili sauce, these sweet potato sweet chili bowls are a vegetarian 30 minute one dish meal that reheats wonderfully. Tell me if you’ve ever had this happen– you see a stranger, someone you’ve never seen before and then suddenly you notice this person all over the place? I’ve been feeling this way about sweet potatoes lately.…

I was the weird little girl who ate 5 bowls of jambalaya the first time I tried it at a get together and begged the host to give my mom the recipe. And then once I was grown, when I planned my first vacation, it was to New Orleans with plans…

Your favorite pizza flavors and toppings are all together in this hearty and cheesy pepperoni pizza soup! I know it’s kind of blase to talk about the weather, but I have to tell you, I’ve worn capris, skirts and sandals all weekend…in February! In Missouri! It’s been amazing.
