is the ultimate comfort food made simple Lazy Day Mac and Cheese
Ever since I first shared our One-Skillet 20-Minute Mac and Cheese with Broccoli, 2 years ago I have been enjoying this quick and easy method of mac and cheese making more nights than not.

Now don't get me wrong, Super Simple Mac & Cheese Italian Style is still a family favorite. As a matter of fact. I made it the night I was working on this post. I was so inspired by all the mac and cheese recipes.

I have a culinary confession to make. I have been playing with a lot of different variations of mac and cheese this last year and Munchkin says "Mommy, I don't mean to hurt your feelings. But, I don't like your mac and cheese.

Can we have the one in the box?" Ugh!  True confession; I have been battling the box mac and cheese with my 5 year old. It's like a dagger in the heart.


Well, after some playing around I realized she did not like the flavor and texture of the mac and cheese she was associating with 'homemade'. You know the thick and yummy cheese that you think of when it is potluck time.

So, I went back to basics. I stick with familiar cheeses, like mozzarella, Parmesan and cheddar. I also add more milk so the cheese sauce is creamier. SCORE! I got my mac and cheese lover back.

This 3-Ingredient recipe is so easy and creamy. As with any recipe that relies on a few ingredients, make sure those ingredients are the best. For this recipe I picked out my favorite good quality cheese and it really kicks the flavor up a notch!

It's funny but I absolutely love homemade mac and cheese and while we were working on our new cookbook, we developed our new favorite.

Helpful Tips to make Lazy Day Mac and Cheese:

  • Use full fat milk in this recipe. If you choose to go with a low-fat (2% or skim milk) you will want to cook more slowly and add in a little corn starch.
  • Do NOT add salt until the end, adding it too soon will result in a grainy mac and cheese (caused by the milk curdling, which is fine to eat but not as pleasant). For an über rich mac and cheese you can use heavy cream or half and half.
  • Feel free to add spices as desired at the end. A sprinkle of parsley goes a long way for added freshness.
  • Add your favorite cheeses, I have used sharp cheddar, mild cheddar and extra sharp. I usually use about half sharp and half mild for my perfect flavor. Also note, the pre-shredded cheese you can buy at the store has a corn starch like coating on it that may cause your cheese sauce to be super thick. You can add an extra splash of milk to thin it out a little.

Crockpot Chicken Fajitas (VIDEO)

Crockpot Chicken Fajitas are perfect for a fabulous no-fuss dinner! This simple recipe comes together in a flash. You simply layer the ingredients and go. It just about cooks itself. This dish is absolutely bursting with flavor and sure to be a go-to in your house too!

  This simple recipe comes together in a flash Crockpot Chicken Fajitas (VIDEO)
Serve them with warm flour tortillas and Mexican rice and you may never go out to dinner again. This is surely destined to be our next game day dinner.

I absolutely love fajitas and Chad and I order them every time we go to a Mexican restaurant and I still can't get enough. I have made them at home, but I was looking for a simple recipe that is no-fuss after a long day of work and I finally have it for you.  

I am always looking for quick and easy dinner ideas and I saw a video one day from Buzzfeed that showed taking the chicken out of the slow cooker after 3 hours on high to get chicken strips where as chicken at 8 hours on low will give you shredded chicken.

So I decided to give it a go.  I am usually too impatient to wait for cooking all day so I usually cook on high so this was absolutely perfect for my chicken fajitas dish I had been thinking about.

I started with the standard chicken fajita fixin's.  I started with my favorite salsa flavors (tomatoes, white onions, jalapeno, garlic and lime juice) and add the bell peppers. The chicken is seasoned with my homemade taco seasoning and that brings in the rest of the flavor party! This dish is very versatile, so feel free to use your favorites.

Needless to say these are my go to Chicken Fajitas. The chicken is moist and tender. This dish is bursting with flavor. I truly ate these fajitas for lunch every day for a week. They are so good I couldn't help myself. Enjoy.

Helpful Tips to make Crockpot Chicken Fajitas:

  • The longer it cooks the more tender it will become. If you remove it sooner, you will be able to slice it. About 3 hours on high or 6 hours on low. Longer time will yield pulled chicken, which is equally delicious. If that is what you desire, remove chicken from slow cooker after long cook time and shred with 2 forks. 
  • Why New Mexico Chile Powder? It has a deep dark reddish brown color and features an earthy, sweet flavor and subtle, spicy heat. It is mildly hot and absolutely perfect in this. It creates a truly authentic flavor! New Mexico Chili Powder can be found in the international aisle in the bulk bags or on Amazon. if you are afraid the heat will be too much you can use half New Mexico Chili Powder and 1/2 regular chili powder.

What you will need to make Crockpot Chicken Fajitas:

  • Slow Cooker - the slow cooker is almost my most used kitchen appliance, especially during fall/winter! It's just so convenient, and lets face it, it makes comfort food taste even better!
  • New Mexico Chile Powder- This is one of my favorite spices. See the notes above.

Enjoy!

2-Ingredient Creamy Vanilla Rice Pudding

Creamy Vanilla Rice Pudding is the epitome of comfort food. This simple dessert made with just 2 ingredients is rich, silky and utterly delicious! This recipe is so simple it just about cooks itself!

This recipe is so simple it just about cooks itself 2-Ingredient Creamy Vanilla Rice Pudding

We are so excited to be partnering with International Delight®  to bring you another fabulous recipe. I don't know about you, but I love my coffee so I always have creamer in the house.

I have found this to be an amazing convenient ingredient in cooking and baking sweets. So, of course when I started thinking about rice pudding I thought of International Delight.

This recipe is so simple it just about cooks itself 2-Ingredient Creamy Vanilla Rice Pudding

I remember my mom making rice pudding for us. Of course, as my mom was a penny pincher it was always with left over white rice from dinner a few nights earlier. If we didn't have leftover rice there was no rice pudding. Which kinda stinks when you love rice pudding.

So what if you want a quick and easy rice pudding and you don't have any left over rice? Well, that is exactly where I started. Have you ever had risotto? It is rich and creamy. It is made with an Italian short grain rice called Arborio.

The rice has a high starch content which leads to the creaminess of the risotto. So, I started thinking... What if I use Arborio rice in my rice pudding?

This recipe is so simple it just about cooks itself 2-Ingredient Creamy Vanilla Rice Pudding

Well, the result is an amazing thick, rich and creamy flavorful rice pudding made with just 2 ingredients (and water and salt)!

It is a so easy to make, you literally dump it in a pot, let it cook and then stir for a few minutes.It is perfectly rich, creamy and delicious.

My husband, Chad, has been refusing to try the store bought rice pudding for years. But this recipe, he devoured!

This recipe is so simple it just about cooks itself 2-Ingredient Creamy Vanilla Rice Pudding


Helpful Tips to make 2-Ingredient Creamy Vanilla Rice Pudding:

  • Do not bring to a full rolling boil and then cover. It will boil over and you will be left with a nasty stove to clean. Don't ask me how I know, just trust me on this one.
  •  Slow cooker method: Combine ingredients in a slow cooker (I used a 3 quart). Stir, cover and cook on high for 1 1/2 - 3 hours. It took 3 hours in my 3 quart round. Rice should be soft and pudding thick when it is ready.
  • The first time you prepare this in a slow cooker I recommend tasting a piece of rice after 1 hour 30 minutes. If it is not chewy yet cover it and let it cook 30 more minutes and check again. The more you stir the more the pudding will thicken. That said, about 15 minutes before the pudding is done remove cover and stir until pudding is thickened. 
  • If you don't have coffee creamer you can substitute (in place of the creamer and water) 4-1/2 cups whole milk, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract.

What you will need to make 2-Ingredient Creamy Vanilla Rice Pudding:

Enjoy!

I was with Chad and my then 5-year-old daughter. I couldn't make a decision, everything looks soooo good. We each ordered 2 things to try and all shared. We pretty much declared their Avalanche Bark the best thing on the planet.

Well after a few more run-ins with Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and many more treats, I decided to work on a copycat make a home version. If you got a gift basket from me this Christmas, it certainly had a few of these fabulous cookies in a treat bag.

2-Ingredient Salsa Chicken Crockpot

Salsa Chicken Crockpot is so easy it just about cooks itself. Chunks of tomato, onion, and chiles are speckled through the perfectly tender and juicy chicken. We have included tips for substitutions and using what is in your pantry to create your own version along with serving suggestions to make one meal and repurpose it into several future meals.

  and chiles are speckled through the perfectly tender and juicy chicken 2-Ingredient Salsa Chicken Crockpot
As well as serving suggestions and ideas for the leftovers. This is a go-to in my "what's for dinner?" arsenal, and it will be in yours too.

One day I was talking to my friend and she told that I can make the easiest dinner ever by tossing in a jar of salsa with some chicken. I said, what? Just salsa and chicken? So I gave it a try.

Well, after several tests I came up with the most amazing simple dinner and it is a go-to in my house. When you are working with 2 ingredients you really want them to be the best ingredients you can find. Whether that means homemade salsa or store-bought is up to you. But, I have a few tips for add-ins and using what you have on hand to stretch this meal.

and chiles are speckled through the perfectly tender and juicy chicken 2-Ingredient Salsa Chicken Crockpot  

Cooking from your pantry can add some creative twists to this Salsa Chicken Crockpot.

  • Add a can of rinsed and drained black beans or kidney beans to the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Add a can of drained niblet corn or 2 cups of frozen corn to the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Add in a couple tablespoons of your favorite taco seasoning to really make the flavor pop. 
  • Add Colby Jack cheese.
  • If you are short on salsa, use a can of diced tomatoes with peppers or a can of diced tomatoes and a can of jalapenos or green chilis. This recipe is really forgiving. Get creative and see what you can come up with.
  • Add a couple tablespoons of cream cheese for a creamy version. 

What to Serve with Salsa Chicken Crockpot

  • Salsa Chicken Crockpot is amazing served on a flour or corn tortilla.
  • Serve it over a rice and veggies for a scrumptious rice bowl.
  • This is delish on a bed of lettuce for an amazing salad.
  • Try on crunchy taco shells with lettuce and cheese on top.
  • Are you a nacho lover? This could be a new favorite. Lay down tortilla chips, then salsa chicken, then top with cheese, black olives, sour cream and guacamole. YUM!
  • My family loves flautas (flour taquitos). So, I took the leftover salsa chicken and mixed it with cream cheese and Colby Jack cheese and rolled it up in flour tortillas. I froze them and when I am ready to make them, I pop them in a preheated 425°F oven for 20 minutes, until tortilla is crisp and the ends are beginning to brown and cooked through and my family goes crazy over them!
Whatever you choose, go with whatever works for you. Because honestly this salsa chicken is absolutely amazing!!!

    Cover and cook for 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low.  Once cooked through, use 2 forks or meat claws to shred chicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mine usually needs just a pinch.
  2. Serve and enjoy!

DONNA'S TIPS

  1. My family loves flautas (flour taquitos). So, I took the leftover salsa chicken and mixed it with cream cheese and Colby Jack and rolled it up.  Froze it and when I am ready to make it, I pop it in a preheated 425°F oven for 20 minutes, until tortilla is crisp and the ends are beginning to brown and cooked through and my family goes crazy over them!
  2. To freeze for later use:  Prepare taquitos as described.  Place taquitos in a resealable freezer bag (1 gallon works great) and store until ready to use.  They keep well for 6 months. 
  3. I prefer my Lazy Day Salsa (recipe on TheSlowRoastedItalian) and Rojo's Fire Roasted Medium Salsa.

One of my favorite cooking methods is working with what I have on hand and finding inspiration in my pantry.

Actually pantry cooking has resulted in some of the most delicious recipes I have ever created and this was one of them.

I injured my knee at the beginning of January and I was laid up on the couch for a week. I only had Chad running to the store for staples (like milk and bread).

After about a week of fast food and dry cereal, I decided I had enough and I was going to cook something, so I grabbed some cooked ground beef out of the freezer and headed for the pantry to find some dinner inspiration.

I keep my pantry pretty well stocked for occasions exactly like this.

After surveying the pantry the beans caught my eye and I decided I would whip up a chili.

Beef, beans, tomatoes, jalapenos and some crushed red pepper. Just a few minutes later I had the most scrumptious chili.

I still can't believe how delicious it was. So, I tried the recipe again and again. Feeding it to friends and family.

Everyone raved about it and no one believed it was so quick to make.

Eventually, I settled on fresh ground beef because you don't always have cooked ground beef on hand, but if you have it cooked already you can whip this up this fabulous recipe in just about 7 minutes.

Good pantry cooking really comes down to choosing your ingredients well.

Fire-roasted tomatoes and chili beans give this chili an incredible slow-cooked flavor and the peppers give it a little kick (not too much). Your friends and family will never believe you whipped this up in just 15 minutes.
