Welcome to the weekend, my friends! I did a double take as I wrote today’s date – March 1st. I’m not entirely sure how that’s possible and yet, here we are. Time is certainly flying this year. 

March usually has me craving salads and lighter meals for spring, but I’m still very much in the hearty, comfort food zone over here. I’m thinking that a big pot of chili sounds just about right for this weekend, along with some oven burritos, and some meat lover’s pasta for this week. Admittedly, there will be salads too, but for the most part, just give me all the warm, cozy meals.

ON THE BLOGS THIS WEEK:  Flaky buttery pastry tops a luscious medley of tender chicken, hearty vegetables, and a creamy, savory sauce in this Puff Pastry Chicken Pot Pie.

Forget heating up the oven, use the air fryer for baked sweet potatoes. The first time I baked sweet potatoes in the air fryer it was a game-changer for me. Over the past few months, this has been my lunch at least once a week.

Rich and garlicky, you’ll have trouble believing this Creamy Cauliflower Potato Soup is made without a drop of cream or milk! I loved this soup from the very first bite.

Melting chocolate, chewy coconut, and crunchy nuts are layered over a buttery graham cracker crust to make these Hello Dolly Bars. My kids and husband devoured these lightning fast! Luckily, they’re very easy to make as I suspect they’re going to be popular in our home for a lot of years to come.

This three ingredient Hot Cocoa Mix is a tasty, simple, convenient, and economical way to get your hot chocolate fix. Whip up a batch to keep on hand for after school, cold weather, and cravings.

This chocolate ice cream is swirled with bite-size wafer cookies and also loaded with chocolate-covered chunks of Kit Kat candy bars. Kit Kat Ice Cream has everything you love about Kit Kat candy bars swirled into each scoop of this homemade ice cream.

What I’m CRAVING: A bowl of my friend Shawn’s Creamy Broccoli Cheese Soup along with some crusty warm bread for dipping? That sounds pretty much perfect right now. 

My FAVORITE THING this week is this journal. I almost always lean toward spiral bound journa

I’ve never eaten so many beans in all my life! Testing and developing this recipe has filled my freezer with more beans that my family will eat in our lifetime😂. But I had to figure out the best charro beans recipe!

I’ve tried them with chorizo, without, with ham, without ham, spicy, way too mild and bland. And finally I’ve come up with what I believe are the best charro beans with fantastic flavor and best of all, the perfect method.

I also tested dried beans vs canned beans and have a whole section below on what I found there.
