Simple Easy Family Friendly Recipes

I am all about yummy food because I love how it brings people together. But, making a delicious meal doesn’t have to be complicated. Simple, easy family friendly recipes are my specialty. In fact, there’s nothing I like more than putting a delicious dinner on the table in 30 minutes or less most nights.

Some of my favorite quick meals include creamy chicken enchiladas, Zuppa Toscana (a creamy sausage, potato, and kale soup), and sour cream pork chops made in the Instant Pot. I can’t wait for you to try them!
