It has been a long while since I have done a round-up on this website. I have two good reasons for this pressure cooker chili round-up. Tomorrow it’s going to be colder in Iowa than in Antarctica, so we will all need a nice bowl of chili to warm up […]

My husband and I have tried making microwave mug cakes, cookies and other desserts a few different times, and have always been a little disapointed at how they turned out. A little on the dry side, and left us with most of it sticking to the actual mug. A few […]
I am #sorrynotsorry that I am posting another chili recipe. This chili is a recipe that I dumped in my pressure cooker last weekend because I needed a dish to serve my parents and my husband’s parents lunch after my son’s birthday party. I thought this chili turned out so delicious, […]
