The Browns ALWAYS Lost… but Dinner was Worth it🏈😂


Hi Reader,

Every Sunday growing up, my family gathered at my grandparent’s house for a big Sunday dinner. And during the fall those Sunday suppers included watching the Cleveland Browns try their best (emphasis on try).😬

And while the scoreboard NEVER seemed to go our way (not much has changed in 40+ years!), my Grandpa's (or Papa to me) cooking never disappointed.

And today, I want to highlight one of his favorites, shared two ways because life looks a bit different today. 😉

  • Slow Cooker Pot Roast: This is my Papa's original recipe and you will NOT believe how flavorful it is considering how simple it is to make. It all comes down to ONE key ingredient.
  • Instant Pot Pot Roast: My Papa's recipe sped up! Perfect for if you are short on time or forgot to thaw your roast (we've all been there). It also features an easy two-step cooking process to keep the potatoes and carrots from turning to mush--so no worries there!

No matter which cooking method you choose, it's the kind of meal that makes you want to sit down, slow down, and maybe even forgive the Browns (or insert your NFL or college team) for losing again.😉

Hi Reader, Meal prep does not mean spending all day in the kitchen. For me, it often looks like planning my menu using similar ingredients and leftovers in new ways. On this week's meal plan, I am keeping things simple by making one large batch of protein, a pot of rice, and homemade refried beans. Those three basics do the heavy lifting, while a few familiar toppings help each meal feel completely different. For the protein, you can choose what works best for your family: Instant Pot...

Hi Reader, Every summer, I come back to the same little kitchen hero: basil pesto. It is bright, herby, garlicky, and packed with flavor. A spoonful can turn plain chicken, pasta, or pizza dough into dinner without asking much from you. You can start with my homemade basil pesto, made with fresh basil, garlic, parmesan, nuts, and olive oil. Or grab a jar from the store. Both work -- and never feel guilty to take a shortcut when needed! Once you have the pesto, dinner practically makes...
