Cheat Meals (and Magic Sauce)

Cheat Meals and I are friends. Really close friends. If a Cheat Meal were a person, we would hang out at the pool and drink wine all the time-which would be a lot, since Cheat Meals are big on keeping you out of the kitchen. No, this type of “Cheat Meal” is not the bad dining choice you made on your dieting day off. This is a throw together in 15 minutes, forget about it for a few hours, and come home to absolute dining perfection-which will taste like you worked for hours. See. You want to hang out and have wine with Cheat Meals too. Continue reading “Cheat Meals (and Magic Sauce)” →

The perfect mid-week dinner to please the whole family.

Before we jump right into our Vegetarian Skillet Enchiladas, let’s talk about the elephant in the room. That one thing in the kitchen that we will avoid at all costs. For us, it’s doing the dishes. Seriously now, why is it that dinner not only has to be planned, prepped, and cooked but THEN ALSO CLEANED??!! And how is it 2019 and there are only Robots to vacuum our floor?? But we digress.

After the pressure cooker, the slow cooker is our second BFF. We love being able to prep things the night before, then come home to dinner that has basically cooked itself. This tasty Slow Cooker Beef and Broccoli recipe is no different. Who knows, you might find yourself replacing that Friday night take-out routine.
