It’s summer and a great time for your teenage kids to help with dinner! Not only will it help Mom out…it teaches them valuable skills they will use throughout their lives! I wanted to help so I created this AMAZING Mexican Tater Tot Casserole. It’s quick, easy, and a dish the entire family will L.O.V.E.
Main Dishes
Summer is all about the grilling! I love kabobs with big chunks of meat and fresh vegetables. I’m not a huge fan of shoving it all on bamboo skewers that invariably split and cause colorful language when they go under my skin! So I decided to deconstruct them and grill it all in a grilling basket on the BBQ! Amazing!
I’m always looking for a delicious new way to prepare Pork Chops. I decided to take a popular chicken recipe and use boneless pork chops instead. Oven Fried Butter Crumb Pork Chops are loaded with flavor, delicious, and easy to prepare!
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! So this is my attempt at a homemade Costa Vida or Cafe Rio Salad! I won’t say they taste identical…but it just is one delicious meal! The beauty of this recipe is that if your “men folk” don’t like salads…they can wrap that tortilla up and call it a “man-urrito”!
Mississippi Pot Roast. What’s the big deal?!! I couldn’t figure out what all the hub-bub was about…then I made it. Holy Cow…Howdy Mississippi! That’s one fine Pot Roast you lay claim too! Serve it on top of a bed of homemade garlic cheddar mashed potatoes and watch your family go nuts!
Layers and layers of soft flour tortillas, creamy chicken filling, and loads of grated cheese all stacked inside a slow cooker and baked to create this amazingly easy and delicious chicken enchilada casserole. Serve with salsa, sliced avocado, and a healthy scoop of sour cream. It’s a great family dish that’s budget friendly…so that means it’s Mom friendly too!
When it comes to stuffing tortillas with delicious mouth-watering fillings…we do it right at this Nest! This time we went with Fish Tacos…but I wanted a super easy recipe. Top quality fish sticks, finely shredded cabbage, roasted corn tortillas, and the most amazing Fish Sauce to ever pass these lips!
I’m still learning all the wonderful things my Instant Pot can do….like these wonderful easy Instant Pot Beef Fajitas! Cube Steak, yes I said Cube Steak, sweet peppers, and sliced onions combine in this quick beef fajita pressure-cooker meal. The flavors can’t be beat! I double dog dare ya to eat just one…you won’t be able to! They’re just too yummy!
Our family absolutely LOVES ham! It’s a favorite at this Nest. So when I realized we’d be scarce in numbers this year, I decided to whip up a quick easy Sheet Pan Ham Steak for Two! It’s the perfect main course when there are a few less chairs at your holiday table.
Introducing my very first Instant Pot recipe….Salisbury Steak! Thick flavorful ground beef patties are seasoned to perfection, seared, then pressure cooked, topped with a savory mushroom and onion brown gravy…served over Mashed Potatoes!
