Did you know that Tuesday is the best travel day? Airfare is typically less and the airport/ flights are less busy. Traveling can be fun and exiting. The downside to traveling is that you are often out of sink with your normal routine. For many years I self- sabotaged with the mindset that I can…
Tag: quick meal
July 1st 2024
July 1st is a great day to start something new or in my case restart something. Speakeshonestly is my blog. I originally started it eight years ago to share recipes I made for Shelton and those with food allergies. It grew to more than just allergies but then life got busy and I stopped blogging…
One Skillet Curry Chicken
I wasn’t a fan of curry growing up. Now I can eat it with a spoon! Tonight, I was craving curry and pulled this off only using what I had on hand. A win-win! It’s also a one skillet easy quick meal. I used bone- in chicken thighs though boneless skinless would have been easier…
Pumpkin Protein Oatmeal
Yesterday I opened a can of pumpkin purée to make a pumpkin spice latte. So what to do with the rest? I’d made a pumpkin pie protein shake, pumpkin bisque, so why not pumpkin oatmeal. It feels like fall. Warm, yummy, and healthy. Ingredients: 2 cups water Pinch of salt 1 cup gluten free oatmeal…
Comfort Food- Tater Tot Casserole
Winter Night Comfort Food When it’s cold and you want to cook dinner without going out to the store, you improvise with what you have on hand. This tater tot casserole is so delicious you won’t even miss the beef. But if you do- add a pound of ground beef when sautéing your veggies. Tater…
Sunday Night Supper
Sunday afternoons I try to cook things for the week. I made pumpkin oatmeal chocolate chip muffins (recipe below) and soup. Tonight it’s extra chilly and a perfect soup night. Tomato soup & grilled cheese were requested by my eight year old. She loves soup almost as much as I do. I didn’t have celery…
Cafe and {Canned} Chili
We play Cafe almost every night lately. Shelton loves to rearrange the playroom and set the tables for a cafe. She delights in picking out plates, napkins, and making it beautiful. She usually writes the menus and serves the meals. While this is fun we are teaching her manners, how to pay the bill, and…
Super Simple Allergy Friendly Potato Soup
Church, Sunday naps, Mary Poppins, and yummy soup refreshed us this February day. I love potato soup and growing up loved Huey’s potato soup until we realized I couldn’t eat it due to the return of my infant allergies. I learned to replicate the thick creamy soup by puréeing half of the potatoes broth mixture…
Cowboy Beans
When I’m asked to bring baked beans I show up with my version of “cowboy beans” my mom made in a bean cooker growing up. They were delicious and filling with the ground beef. A meal in themselves. She cooked them in a brown McCoy bean pottery pot. The funny part….my mother did not and…
InstaSoup and so much more!
It’s a cold January day and I’m changing things up a bit. This month I’m updating blog photos, changing my Instagram name, and cooking a lot more. I’m planning to post more in 2019 and I’d love your input on what you’d like to see more of. So please leave me your thoughts in the…

Allergy Friendly Chicken Turkey Bacon Chowder
Ever since my friend Kaitlyn posted about this Chicken Bacon Chowder she made I’ve been dying to convert this recipe for our allergies. Gluten, dairy, soy, tree nuts, peanuts, pork, and preservatives plaque our household. This is so delicious I know it will be a winter staple in our home. 🏡 Chicken Bacon Instapot Chowder ingredients: 8 cloves…
