While it's been warming up here in Texas, for the past few days the skies have finally decided to open up and give us a much-needed downpour of rain. It's perfect timing too as the bluebonnets and other wildflowers have just begun to pop up, and now we'll likely get even more!
When it rains, I always crave comfort foods like stews, chilis, and especially Mexican food. So, I decided to get my instant pot out today and make a delicious pot of green chile pork verde to sate my craving...

Everyone should know by now that I am a cheese freak. A cheeseoholic. A cheese master. ...I guess one could even say that I'm a bit... cheesy. Buh-dum-psssh. Queso is usually my go-to cheesy wonder of amazingness, but I thought today I would change it up a bit and go with something a bit more traditional and Americanized.

Okay. So. Not only are these biscuits and gravy low-carb and gluten-free, but I have to say that this was some of the best damn biscuits and gravy that I've ever put in my mouth. And those are big words coming from a southern girl.

These Skinny BBQ Beef & Cheddar Bites are a slam dunk! As a Texan, I'm a girl that knows her way around both game-day and BBQ. So, when I'm trying to get into the spirit and prepare for the big tournament, I more often than not combine the two into one perfectly popable bite!
I know that with planning on watching a game with friends and family, it's best to make snacks that are quick, easy, and mostly hands off. That's why I love to use my electric pressure cooker and a few other kitchen hacks along the way...

Happy belated St. Patrick's Day, y'all! Of course, I couldn't leave you all weekend without getting these Guinness Meatballs out here for everyone to enjoy. And now... what's a girl supposed to do with leftover beer? Especially an Irish Stout?
Well, if you're looking for a last minute end of the weekend St. Patty's Day meal (or appetizer), or just have some leftover Guinness on hand, then this is for you! These Guinness Meatballs couldn't be any quicker or easy to make; merely mix, roll, and toss them into a pressure cooker with that Healthified Guinness BBQ Sauce for a few minutes and BOOM you're done...
