This Easy Potato Soup recipe is the real deal. Shared with me from the granddaughter of an Idaho potato farmer, this homemade soup is creamy, thick, and luxurious, even without the optional cheesy garnish. It is truly the best potato soup I've ever had. And it only takes about 30 minutes to make!

I'm in love with this Overnight Easy Sausage Breakfast Casserole! It is everything you love about breakfast wrapped up in one dish: cheesy eggs, sausage, hash browns, peppers and onions! You can make ahead or last minute. It's a great overnight option for Christmas Eve!

I love this traditional Thanksgiving Stuffing Recipe! It is easy, has the BEST buttery flavor, and the most irresistible crispy edges. Celery and onions are put together with all the herbs you love, sing it with me now: parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme. Sometimes you just want it to taste exactly like grandma's. This recipe is it!

Kung! PAO! This chicken has been taking karate and it's here to kick you in the taste buds. Just kidding, it's actually a healthy weeknight recipe with bell peppers, zucchini, and crunchy peanuts, in an orange-chili sauce that is fire. It's got a little bit of heat and a lot of amazing Asian flavor. Special thanks to my new BFF, chili crisp. That stuff is sooo good, I always drizzle extra on my plate. Make this easy stir fry with Rice, Brown Rice, or Cauliflower Rice, and dinner is DONE.

These Traditional Tejano Pinto Beans are the perfect blend of Southern and Mexican pinto beans styles. Tenderly slow cooked with a ham hock and jalapeños, the lime adds a little twist. Perfect for a burrito, these beans will make you feel like you are in Texas, and really, what more could you ask for?
