Cheesy White Bean Tomato Bake

 

Cheesy White Bean Tomato Bake

This was excellent! I needed something quick I can make while baby wearing, and this looked interesting. It's super flavorful, creamy and a wonderful comfort food. My husband said it was okay, but that was expected lol. I made the recipe as written and the smokey gouda really made a difference. We dipped the bread in and just also ate it with a spoon. The garlic bread was just a baguette that I cut in half and smeared with butter, garlic & parm. I was going to have it with a salad but the lettuce went bad, so no greens tonight oops.

Instant Pot Mississippi Meatballs

 

Mississippi Meatballs

Ingredients:

- 1 32oz bag frozen meatballs

- 1 packet au jus

- 1 small jar pepperoncini

- 1 packet ranch seasoning or 2-3 tbs of ranch seasoning

- 1 cup beef broth

- 1/2 stick butter, cut into pats

Combine everything in Instant Pot and cook for 30 minutes.

This was okay. Lincoln is 6 weeks old so I needed an easy throw together meal. My family didn't really like it though. It did taste a bit too processed and salty, so I probably wouldn't make it again. I served it with a bagged salad kit and over egg noodles.

Quesaritos

 

Quesaritos

This was just a random clean out the pantry meal. I was able to cook dinner again (yay!) Lincoln was cooperating lol. He likes to be held non stop, and mainly by me. But we've been having Craig give him a formula bottle (he's breastfed) in the evenings so I can do stuff....and it's really working out great. It takes some of the pressure off me and it helps them bond.

This quesarito was just whatever we had already lol. I spread a tortilla with a layer of canned fat free baked beans, a packet of Taco Bell hot sauce, ground beef that I cooked with taco seasoning, chopped onions, sour cream and cheese. Then I grilled it up in a pan and that's it. Super yummy and quick. 

For my quesarito I used a low carb tortilla and fat free cheese. 

I grilled the family's quesarito's with butter, but since mine was lower calorie I used this low calorie butter. It was crazy, instead of melting on the skillet it just evaporated lol. 

Baby tax!

Garlic Parm Wings with Mac & Cheese and Green Beans

 

Garlic Parm Wings with Mac & Cheese and Green Beans

This is the first meal I've cooked since Lincoln was born! He's 5 weeks now. Before tonight we had dinners I had prepped while I was pregnant, and some frozen foods. This was, easy fast and yummy.

I just air fried the wings, added pepper and a smidge of cayenne to the mac & cheese, and the green beans were frozen that I mixed with butter/garlic/salt/pepper.

Here's my little guy, he was born on August 30th.
