Pho recipe in the Instant Pot

Homemade Pho With Zoodles (Instant Pot Option)

April 19, 2018 by Katie Wells

I’m no expert in Vietnamese food, but I am a big fan. In fact, trying dishes from other cultures is something we love to do to get more variety in our diets. When we discovered pho, we knew we had a new family favorite on our hands. Despite its short name, pho is big on flavor …

Instant Pot Chicken and Rice Recipe

Classic Chicken and Rice Recipe (Instant Pot)

April 13, 2018 by Katie Wells

Chicken and rice casserole is as American as hot dogs and burgers. We all grew up eating it but know better now! While a hearty piping-hot casserole may be delicious comfort food (or not, depending on your mother’s recipe), they are notorious for being high-calorie and made with condensed soup from a can. This healthier …

Healthy Thai Chicken Curry (Instant Pot or Slow Cooker)

March 20, 2018 by Katie Wells

The cost of taking a family of eight out to eat means I’ve pretty much made my peace with cooking at home, other than the occasional date night out.

Butter Chicken Recipe (Slow Cooker or Instant Pot Option)

November 28, 2017 by Katie Wells

I’m a sucker for curried Indian dishes and butter chicken has long been on my list to recreate at home in the Instant Pot. This dish is much more budget-friendly made at home and is a great change of pace from chili, soups, and more common winter staples. Traditional recipes like this one use heavy …

Bacon Chicken Alfredo Recipe (One Pan)

January 3, 2017 by Katie Wells

You know that moment when you realize it is 4:00 PM and you have nothing planned or defrosted for dinner? Of course, those moments won’t happen often if you use a tool like Real Plans for meal planning (shopping list to my phone? Yes please!) but inevitably, they sometimes do. And this recipe and one …

Chicken Parmesan Nuggets Recipe (Kid’s Love this Quick Meal)

September 26, 2016 by Katie Wells

I’m not typically a fan of special “kid-foods” that cater to picky eaters or that are mostly processed and devoid of vitamins. At the same time, kid-size food can be fun every once in a while, especially if the kids help prepare it. Chicken Parmesan is a classic recipe and an adult favorite. This recipe …

Sweet and Sour Chicken

July 17, 2014 by Katie Wells

In my college days, I loved eating Chinese food. Once I switched to a wellness lifestyle and realized what was in most restaurant foods, I stopped eating regular Chinese food, but wanted to recreate some of the same flavors with real food ingredients. This quest led me to create my Parsnip Noodle Lo Mein and …

Caribbean Jerk Chicken Recipe

May 14, 2014 by Katie Wells

I’d been craving (leptin problem maybe?) some jerk chicken lately, probably because the flavors remind me of the beach, which is what I am really craving… Anyway, since there are no places around here that can make good jerk chicken, I played around with recipes until I found this Caribbean jerk chicken recipe, which is …

Perfect Pâté Recipe

April 24, 2014 by Katie Wells

This pâté recipe is one of my favorites. I must admit that learning how to prepare and consume organ meats has been a journey for me! It took me a while to learn to like most organ meats, but this pâté recipe has a mild and savory flavor and I liked it right away. Organ meats are an excellent …

Greek Meatballs Recipe

April 15, 2014 by Katie Wells

When my husband and I first started dating (after walking across the country together … really), we had the chance to travel around Europe a little.

Bacon and Apple Barbecue Slow Cooker Chicken Recipe

Bacon Apple Chicken

April 7, 2014 by Katie Wells

I’d never cooked much before finishing college and getting married. I got a Crock-Pot as a wedding gift and was told that slow cookers were the easiest (and mostly foolproof) way to make a great meal, so I started experimenting. I joke that this was one of my real food recipes before I went real …

Cashew Chicken Lettuce Wraps

October 22, 2013 by Katie Wells

I must admit… I’ve never had cashew chicken at a restaurant so I don’t know what it is “supposed” to taste like. I saw a lot of pictures of cashew chicken going around Pinterest, and they looked good. Rather than clicking on the link to discover that the recipe probably called for a can of …

Chicken Fajita Salad

Salads are one of my favorite summer foods since there are so many delicious ingredients in season and they don’t have to be heated to prepare. I’ve always had a thing for Mexican food, and while I love the restaurant fajita salads, they aren’t usually the healthiest or most frugal option. This salad is a …
