I made this Layered Enchilada Casserole for our dinner the next 3 nights!
Here's how I make it and layer it from the bottom up! You get LOTS of veggies in this, and you really CAN'T mess it up!

We are HUGE mushroom lovers in this family, so I threw together this soup this morning for lunch today. I tasted a bit, and it is SOOOO yummy! This is the best mushroom soup I have come up with far. My husband LOVED it!!! This soup is made in the Instant Pot, but you do need a blender, as well.
SERVES 4
1 onion, chopped small
3-4 cloves of garlic, crushed
24 oz. Baby Bella mushrooms (cheaper to buy at Aldi or in bulk), sliced thinly
2 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled cut into 1-inch chunks

I had a love-hate relationship with this beast...but ultimately, I didn't have a say in whether or not she was allowed to continue working for my family or not. She simply died. Blank screen. Lots of stomping and tears.
A few times during our "relationship," I threatened to kick her to the curb--her door squeaked and sometimes needed finagling to open and shut. Her stainless steel body was blotching. Her glass door could never fully be cleaned. She was a work horse, though. She cooked and air-fried wit ..read more
