All you busy parents out there… this one's for you! And your kids too, of course! I don’t know about you but as an animal lover, my little one loves her cartoons and PAW Patrol has always been at the top of her list of favorites. So, when I saw these PAW Patrol inspired snack cheeses at my local HEB I knew that I had to get them and do something fun with them for snack time!
When I was little, two of my favorite snacks were cheese sticks and pizza bites. So, I thought to myself… why not both? And you know what? Let’s make them crazy easy and simple too. With literally just a handful of ingredients and a quick bake to perfection. The best part? They have the playful look of a rawhide dog bone! PAW Patrol, here we come.
Skinny Meatloaf & Mash (Instant Pot Dinner)
A one pot meal, in the Instant Pot, for under 350 calories? Yep! You got it dude. This lightened-up meatloaf AND mash is made in the Instant Pot in just 25 minutes. And you know what? I think I may just stick to cooking my meatloaf in the Instant Pot from this day forward. It’s quick and easy to do, plus it locks in all the moisture and juices so you don’t run the risk of ending up with a dried out meatloaf for dinner!
The mash and the meatloaf are both cooked in the Instant Pot together at the same time. Leaving you with a pretty hands-off dinner that everyone is sure to enjoy…
Read MoreCrustless Quiche (Instant Pot)
So, I’ve had and made my fair share of egg bites in the instant pot, right? That got me to thinking… If I can make egg bites in the instant pot, why can’t I make a quiche in it? Well, as it turns out, you surely can! This quiche is packed with protein and is low in carbs. Plus, it’s keto-friendly and delicious!
This quiche cooks a bit more quickly in the instant pot than it would in the oven. It also comes out with a more ‘fluffy’ texture. Something more akin to an egg bite than a dense quiche…

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Tyson Foods, Inc. The opinions and text are all mine.
It’s that time of year when school is in session, the weather is starting to maybe think about cooling off, and game day is upon us! Game day get togethers that feature spreads are some of my family’s favorites. I think maybe it’s something about the variety of bite-sized finger foods that just make everyone happy. That’s where the inspiration for this Game Day Chicken Spread came from.
This spread is focused around chicken. All sorts of chicken too! And the best part is that it’s easy to put together and is completely versatile with everything from a set up for chicken street tacos, to popable bites, to dunk-friendly nuggets!…
Read MoreEdible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (Vegan & Gluten-Free)
Who else sneaks bites of raw cookie dough all the while knowing that you shouldn’t do it? I know that I sure do despite my greatest efforts not to. I’ve made raw edible cookie dough in the past, and it was pretty damn delicious. But, I thought I would take it a step further and make a gluten-free version of it!
Yep, that’s right. This edible cookie dough is not only egg-free, vegan, and vegetarian, but it’s also gluten-free AND dairy-free. Covering all the major bases here while also getting to indulge in some cookie dough. Sounds like a win-win situation, right?…
Read MoreBlueberry Pancake Bites (Instant Pot)
Weekends are for baking and cooking… well, sort of. Except for the fact that I’m pretty much still refusing to use my stove or oven unless I absolutely have to. It’s just too damn hot here right now! That being said, I was in the mood for some blueberry pancakes this morning.
What’s a girl to do?
Instant pot (or any electric pressure cooker) to the rescue! These Blueberry Pancake Bites are whipped up quickly and cook right in the instant pot in all of 10 minutes. The end result is a magical cross between a pancake and a muffin that is as delicious as it is portable…
