These are a must try! I love a mild kick so these include a can of diced green chilies. If you really like spicy (my kids don’t) sub some diced  jalapeño. I bet they would be fantastic! I grabbed these rolls at my grocery store for fun. You could use the Hawaiian rolls and bake them on a sheet pan for a large crowd (yum!!). We typically just buy some whole wheat hamburger buns. Those just don ..read more

Last week my rice cooker went to heaven. I plugged it in like any other day to make some plain white rice to go with dinner and it sparked on me pretty good. I jumped and I’m pretty sure my heart skipped a beat. It blew the circuit and the rice cooker didn’t recover. That thing was good to us for many years. Rest assured, I have a backup, my Instant Pot. I love my Instant Pot and will never stop trying to convince you that you need one. I promise, they aren’t scary and it won’t explode on you.
