There’s nothing quite like a well-cooked pork chop. I love my Crockpot Pork Chops and my Air Fryer Pork Chops, but these Instant Pot Pork Chops with Gravy may just be my new favorite method! The instant pot creates an incredibly moist environment for cooking meat, which results in ultimate tender juiciness. The pork is seared in the instant pot, pressure cooked in flavorful broth, and then the broth is transformed into a rich and creamy gravy!...

Grilling side dishes: Quick–you’ve just been invited to a barbecue and you volunteered to bring a side dish! What do you bring that is fast, delicious and crowd-pleasing? This instant pot potato salad is the winner, my friends! Everything cooks in the instant pot in 5 minutes–have I sold you yet?! I’m using my instant pot a lot during the summer because I love cooking without having to turn on the stove or oven!...

I have an unhealthy amount of jam in my pantry. My neighbor gives me jam, my friends make jam, and I make jam. And, while the best vehicle for jam is toast, I try to avoid sugar in the mornings. I have a whole heap of sugar coming my way by 4pm every day; let’s not start the engine before then, ya feel me? I was specifically hoarding this one type of jam because it came from a friend’s orchard back in Cali....

Why We Love This Habanero Mango Salsa Our love of mango is well-known around here, right? But, I think this is the first time we have used mango for a slightly savory twist! If my summer day consists of eating this with a big mango lemonade on the side, I’m the happiest summer version of Christina possible! I love when my husband grills something smoky that I can smother with this mango habanero salsa....

I was hoping these would come across a little more ‘red-white-and-blue’ for your Fourth of July festivities this weekend, but it really just came across as purple and white. And I’m okay with that because they taste so dang good. Sometimes, you even get a pocket of a whole juicy blueberry and I think that’s pretty close to Fourth of July. We have a super busy Fourth of July. We have our entire family in town for Camille’s baptism!...

PIN IT FOR LATER Friends, I am so excited to share this with you! This incredible no bake cheesecake is from my friend Julianne’s new cookbook No Bake Treats! I know you know I have big, BIG love for no bake cheesecakes and just cheesecake in general. Some of my other favorites here are: No Bake White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Real Deal No Bake Lemon Cheesecake And this The Best Vanilla Cheesecake — no water bath required!...

If you’ve been around here for a little while now, you know I have a bit of a sweet tooth, and that sweet tooth is especially crazy about cheesecake. Some of my favorites so far are this No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake, No Bake Oreo Cheesecake recipe and this No Bake Lemon Cheesecake. This Turtle Cheesecake has pretty much all of my other favorite things: cream cheese salted caramel chocolate...

Check out more of my favorite one pan chicken dinner recipes like One Pan Chicken and Rice, Teriyaki Chicken and Noodles, Tuscan Orzo with Chicken and Chicken Meatballs with Orzo. One Pot Meals are the best, especially when they feature ingredients like shredded chicken and egg noodles! Essentially, this Chicken and Noodles Recipe takes a lot of what you love about classic Chicken Noodle Soup and turns it into a creamy pasta dinner....

Can we talk about what I always blab about at parties when I have a margarita in my hand? I brag about how the frozen margarita was invented in my hometown of Dallas. Then, I smugly sip my margarita and lick my salt mustache. And then I peer-pressure everyone else to put a margarita in their own hand. When something tastes delicious, I want everyone to enjoy it with me....

This recipe for Sheet Pan Perogies and Sausage is a tried-and-true crowd-pleaser in my family. It’s an easy meal to assemble (it comes together in under 5 minutes) and it’s perfect for hectic school nights and action-packed weekends. (Seriously, the only prep this recipe requires is cutting up an onion and transferring ingredients from their packages onto the sheet pan!). Whether your preferred spelling is perogies or pierogies (or even pierogi!...

By now you’ve heard me jumping for joy about Apple Month — a time where we can celebrate munching on fresh, nutritious Canadian apples while we’re buried under a blanket of snow — all over this blog and social media (and if you missed my Slow Cooker Caramel Apple Pudding Cake, well — you don’t want to!), and I’m here with an easy, slow cooker dinner recipe featuring the star of the show....

Enjoy more of my favorite meatball recipes like Porcupine Meatballs, Sweet and Sour Meatballs and Turkey Meatballs! These Slow Cooker Swedish Meatballs are perfect for busy weeknights or an elegant weekend dinner! Made with homemade meatballs, beef broth, cream and perfectly seasoned, these meatballs always get tons of compliments. The best part? The slow cooker does all the work for you! Once the meatballs are prepared, everything gets tossed into the Crockpot and slowly cooked to creamy, savory perfection....

If there’s a combo that gets me every time, it’s chocolate and peanut butter. These Snickers Brownie Bites? They’re taking chocolate and peanut butter to a whole new level. Ultra fudgy, homemade two bite brownies. Creamy peanut butter frosting. A drizzle of caramel. A sprinkle of chopped, salted peanuts. They’re a flavor explosion of the best kind. We’re not strangers to snickers treats around here. This Snickers Cheesecake Cake was an instant hit (and incredible indulgence)....

We’re heading into the last part of the year. The chilly part. The bake-all-day-to-keep-your-house-warm part. I love it. Each month, I make a list of foods I want to eat to set the mood for the month. Sometimes, the list has exact foods, like Chai Cookie Bars. Other times, I write a general feeling that I want my meals to have, like ‘hearty and comforting.’ And then, I often consider your lovely self, and what foods you would like to eat this month, too....

I love my classic, fudgy recipe for Absolutely the Best Brownies Ever, but these Triple Chocolate Raspberry Brownies have a special place in my heart. If I’m being truly honest, the base for these triple chocolate brownies is actually my best fudgy brownies, so there really isn’t much of a difference 😉 This brownie recipe was one of the first recipes I posted on my blog, almost 6 years ago, and it’s still the only brownie recipe I use!...

I know I’ve mentioned this before, but I’ve never really been into cutesy foods much. I think the reason for that is likely because when you’re a single adult, you don’t really have anyone to make those cute treats for whose eyes are going to light up like a 2 or 3 year old’s will (I mean, my husband’s eyes light up when I give him chocolate but it’s definitely not because of the cute design!...

While I should probably explain myself better, it’s pretty clear what I just did. I took wine and made it into jello. I poured it into pretty cups, and decorated it with overpriced blood oranges and freshly whipped cream, because I am an over-achiever. The fact that this fancy, easy dessert only has 5 ingredients is just a bonus. It’s going to be your new dinner party dessert! I tried so very hard to make this look super pretty so you would rush out to buy ingredients to make it....

Can you believe I’ve never made a jalapeno popper? I’ve actually never even eaten a jalapeno popper. I’m not one for really spicy food, I guess, and the thought of stuffing a half a jalapeno in my mouth just never really seemed that pleasant. I generally don’t even cook with jalapenos. But I like cheese and I like BBQ Chicken (even if it’s BBQ Chicken Pizza on a Kebab)…. I can get a little crazy with the baking recipes in the fall and holiday season, so I wanted to create at least one or two appetizer recipes to bring in the New Year, just to make it up to you....

This is the chocolate cake that I grew up on. Yes, it is thin and not as visually impressive as a towering stack of chocolate layer cake. However, there are so many merits to this cake! Before I start, I’ll tell you that I’m from Texas, so I definitely have a dog in this fight. A Texas chocolate sheet cake is a super thin, moist chocolate cake baked in a large baking sheet instead of a round cake pan....

Love hearty casseroles? Try this Chicken Pot Pie Casserole, this Ground Beef Casserole recipe or this Broccoli Casserole next! This post is generously sponsored by The Little Potato Company and I was compensated for my time in creating this recipe. Thank you for supporting the brands that make The Recipe Rebel possible! If there’s one thing that speaks right to my comfort-food-loving heart, it’s creamy, cheesy potatoes. I’ve always thought it was a shame how most people use frozen hashbrown potatoes and condensed soup in the traditional Cheesy Potato Casserole....
