3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies


3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies are soft, chewy and packed with peanut butter. This is the recipe that great grandma used to make and I am so excited to share it with you. Just stir scoop and bake. This simple recipe will be ready to go in the oven before it is done preheating!

Everyone has those dishes that you whip up without even thinking about it. You have just been making it so long it is a part of who you are. Maybe you mom and your mom's mom did it the same way and by all rational you assume that everyone makes the same things.  Well apparently this is not true. Shocking, I know. Apparently I have been holding out on you.

One-Skillet Chicken Pot Pie in 30 Minutes


Chicken Pot Pie Skillet features chunks of chicken cooked in a scrumptious creamy sauce with corn, carrots and peas.  A secret ingredient in the drop biscuits really take this dish over the top.  One skillet and 30 minutes until dinner.

Chicken pot pies absolutely rank high on my comfort food radar.  But finding the time to dote over the perfect classic chicken pot pie can take hours and to be honest after a long hard day working and taking care of my 3 year old. I do not have the time or patience for that.

What I do have is a never ending desire for fabulous flavorful food in snap!  This skillet hits the mark.  From the time I put the skillet on the stove until the time it was on my plate was a mere 30 minutes.  That I can do!  Definitely the new family favorite.

With a secret ingredient that really takes this dish to the next level and only 30 minutes from prep to plate this will be on your menu again and again.

Crockpot Pork Chops


Crockpot Pork Chops are the easiest slow cooker recipe ever. Toss and go. Toss it all in the crockpot and you return to perfectly tender, melt in your mouth pork cooked in the most spectacular sauce.  It is a little sweet, a little spicy, a little barbequey (yes I made that word up) and a lot delicious. Prepped in just 5 minutes.

I know I have been professing my love for my crockpot lately like a teenage girl does her first boyfriend, but I can not help myself. This thing is amazing!  I mean really, the weekend was so busy that I didn't have time to stand in front of the stove for 30 minutes preparing dinner at the end of the day so I tossed in my ingredients and went about my day. When I came back to it, dinner is cooked!?!?

Fesenjan (Duck Stewed with Pomegranate and Walnuts) – Better Later Than Never!

Sorry for the delay, but if there's anything that deserves the “better late than never” tag, this duck fesenjan is it. A savory stew featuring duck, pomegranate, and walnuts, which is every bit as exotic as it sounds.

Keep in mind, I’m brand-new to Persian food, so this is just my interpretation of the ancient classic. I’m assuming like most similar recipes, every household has their own version, and this kind of thing can be obviously, and easily be tailored to your tastes.

The ingredients are simple and easy to manipulate. If you have trouble finding pomegranate syrup, or pomegranate molasses as it’s sometimes called, check out the online retailers, but you can actually make your own.

If you want to try, check out this recipe from my friend Elise, from Simply Recipes. It takes an hour or so, but its usefulness goes far beyond this duck recipe. By the way, if you're not down with Simply Recipes, you really should be. Elise has an amazing collection of recipes. 

Regarding the duck, I like to sear the meat in a pan, since you'll get faster and deeper browning. The high sides of a Dutch oven can sometimes hold in moisture and you won’t get the same results. As long as you deglaze the pan, nothing is lost.

Other than that, it’s a very straightforward recipe. Just stew everything until the meat is tender, but not totally falling apart; then reduce the sauce until as thick and intensely flavored as you want. I really hope you give this Persian duck stew a try soon. Enjoy!


Ingredients for 8 to 10 Duck Legs or chicken leg quarters, seared in vegetable oil until browned
1 tbsp reserved duck fat
3-4 tbsp olive oil
2 cups diced yellow onion
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
6 cups chicken broth, or more as need to adjust liquid levels
1/4 cup honey
2/3 cup pomegranate syrup aka molasses
3 cups walnut halves, ground
salt and pepper to taste

Next Up: Fesenjān

Sorry, but due to a large pot hole and a really small tire, today's Fesenjān video will not air until tomorrow. I think it will be worth the wait. Speaking of waiting, time to call roadside assistance. Stay tuned!

I have a thing for peanut clusters, but the thought of melting the chocolate over the stove or in the microwave, only to have it thicken so quickly because it is chilly in the house frustrates me to no end.
