Easy Recipes

These recipes are so easy my kids can make them or certainly help make them.  And my friends that freeze up in the kitchen, I believe they can make these too!

Just because you have a lot of skills in the kitchen doesn’t mean you have time to use those skills.  These easy meals will please the people you are feeding and save a lot of time!

Lunch is often a quick lunchmeat sandwich, but we like these Ham & Turkey Melt Sliders when there’s an extra 5 minutes.

When my husband is working on the farm and needs a quick meal he’ll toss Italian Sausage, Peppers & Onions or Smoked Sausage, Potatoes & Sauerkraut in the Air Fryer.

My kids love carbs, so this Instant Pot Rice Pilaf is a perfect super EASY way to fill them up!

The simplest way I’ve found to get more veggies in our bellies is Air Fryer Broccoli and a similar Air Fryer Cauliflower!

For a super easy dessert that will leave a lasting impression on your taste buds be sure to try these Texas Brownies or White Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars.
