Making a turkey breast in the Instant Pot was quite the learning process and I’m here to share it with you. I started off with 7 pound bone-in turkey breast and went to the store to get the stuff for the brine recipe which can be found here. For a really juicy bird on Thanksgiving day I really like to brine them. On the day I was going to make this in my Instant Pot I drained the brine in a colander and washed the turkey off. I set the turkey breast in my Instant Pot for 45 minutes ... continue reading...
Caramel Apple Cider Mimosa
Caramel apple cider mimosas are the perfect Fall breakfast drink. Super easy to make and only require 2 ingredients.Mimosas are the ultimate breakfast drink and are usually made with orange juice. Normally, I’m not a fan of mimosas with orange but any other fruit juice like cranberry or apple I’m down for. This salted caramel apple cider hit the spot. Aldi has this caramel apple cider out right now and I knew I wanted to make some kind of festive drink for Fall with it. When ... continue reading...

Bacon Onion Jam
Crisp cooked bacon with slow-cooked caramelized onions come together to make this awesome jam you can throw on any sandwich or burger. Lately, I’ve been making patty melts because Aldi has a great selection of bread and frozen burger patties are easy to make in a skillet. My love for bacon goes way back to when I first started this blog. Some of you might even be familiar with the book 50 Shades of Bacon. It can be found on Amazon. I must admit that I don’t like cooking bacon ... continue reading...
Puking Pumpkins
Chips, guacamole, and a carved pumpkin are all you need to make this fun puking pumpkin appetizer for Halloween. The guacamole can be homemade or store-bought. Find a small to medium-sized pumpkin for this idea. A larger pumpkin would be too big and take up a lot of table space. If you are looking for an entree idea you can do sheet pan nachos and have the guacamole spewing out of a pumpkin. It’s easy, simple, and kind of gross with the way the guacamole looks like barf. You can even get ... continue reading...
