I love Mexican street corn. Did you know it's called esquites off the cob and elotes on the cob? I've had it from a few different restaurants around town in both forms, but needed to recreate it at home. I perfected my recipe when my sister-in-law requested it for her family birthday dinner. This fed a crowd (and extra for her to take home!) but you can easily halve it for a smaller portion.

Bacon Cheddar Chicken "Pot Pie"
I loved pot pie growing up (and even as an adult!), but it can be time consuming to make. This recipe takes all the ingredient -- plus BACON -- and cooks them all easily in the Instant Pot. Then you just top some biscuits for the "pie" part! I use either frozen or canned biscuits to make it even easier, unless my husband is willing to make his amazing homemade buttermilk biscuits... yum.

Baked Ziti
There is a similar recipe on this page which I used for a base, but I upped the amount of pasta and sauce in this version to serve more people (and I just like it saucier!).

Albondigas (Turkey Rice Meatballs)
These are delicious... that smokey flavor combined with the creamy tomato sauce. It sounds way fancier than it really is, promise! But you're sure to wow guests if you make this. Serve it with some Parmesan Garlic Orzo, yum! (Recipe as written will make 24-30 meatballs, depending on how big you want them. It is easily halved for smaller portion.)

Beef Sweet Potato Hash
This is a recipe I made for my in-home client, and one I had to try at home for myself. It was delicious! Pair it with some roasted garlic parmesan broccoli for a great dinner.

Chicken Zucchini Casserole
I saw this recipe from Eating Well and it sounded interesting. I altered it a bit because the ratios were off on the sauce (WAY too thick), and added more seasoning to the chicken as it was cooking. It is delicious served over some rice (or noodles or quinoa).

Chicken Veggie Soup
This is a different take on chicken noodle soup, made for my client who is gluten free. Great way to have comfort food loaded with veggies!
