Meal Prep & Leftover Tips

Cajun Garlic Shrimp: Don’t overcook the shrimp. The tails should be pink and the shrimp opaque. Cook shrimp with the tails on for more flavor that will seep out as they cook.


Instant Pot Garlic Parmesan Noodles is comfort food made in 20 minutes. Made with butter, garlic, chicken stock, pasta, Parmesan salt and pepper, this easy recipe is perfect for a week night meal when you've got to get supper on the table in a hurry.

Instant Pot Buttered Noodles: If you are using spaghetti or fettuccini, break the pasta in half before placing it into the Instant Pot. I know breaking pasta is a “no-no” but it’s a must in this instance


Fresh tomato Salad with basil and red onion is one of summers best side dished served with anything off the grill or just on it's own.

Fresh Tomato Salad: I use a combination of heirloom tomatoes and other tomatoes from the farmer’s market. Make sure to use the freshest tomatoes you can find.


Dinner rolls made with garlic, butter and Parmesan cheese made from store bought rolls made in a cast iron skillet.

Garlic Parmesan Skillet Rolls: You can swap out the Parmesan for shredded cheddar or mozzarella.

Million Dollar Dip: Million Dollar Dip has been on my appetizer rotation for years—five ingredients, no cooking, and ready in minutes.


No Churn Peach Ice Cream made with fresh chopped peaches, whipped heavy cream, condensed milk, vanilla and a pinch of salt is delicious! It's sweet, creamy and no ice cream maker is required.

No-Churn Peach Ice Cream: For freezing, a metal loaf pan conducts cold better than glass. I used my trusty metal loaf pan and my ice cream was ready to serve in about 4 hours.


Biscuits served with homemade sausage grave is a classic southern breakfast that has been loved over the ages.

Easy Southern Sausage Gravy: To freeze, allow sausage gravy to cool and store in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Let thaw in the refrigerator, then reheat on the stovetop.


Creme Brulee Coffee Creamer made with 4 ingredients makes the best cup of coffee! Made with evaporated milk, brown sugar, half and half and vanilla.

Crème Brûlée Coffee Creamer: Store it in an airtight jar or bottle in the refrigerator. It keeps well for about 7 to 10 days — just give it a good shake before each use since the ingredients can settle. A mason jar works perfectly.
