We tried a Pampered Chef recipe we’ve been meaning to make for a long time. Quick Cooker Cheddar Broccoli Risotto with Chicken was amazing, and since it’s made in the Quick Cooker, it was super fast!

Arroz con Pollo
For dinner, I had an Arroz con Pollo from a new (to us) place. It was different than I had before because it included vegetables … specifically, Bell Peppers and Broccoli. It was tasty!
One-Pot Oktoberfest
Together, our team made Quick Cooker One-Pot Oktoberfest as well as Nacho Cheese Sauce in our Deluxe Cooking Blender. Both had rave reviews and were enjoyed even by the skeptics in the group. I *may* have added more beer than it called for, but the flavors were great. Who would have thought you could perfectly steam quartered potatoes and inch-long pieces of carrots in THREE minutes?
Grilled Balsamic Chicken Salad
We brought back a favorite for dinner tonight: Grilled Balsamic Chicken Salad, which featured Fresh Mozzarella Balls and Sliced Avocado. This homemade meal was even better than I remembered!
Pork Chops & Acorn Squash
Ta-Da! A home cooked meal! I pan fried Pork Chops in our Stainless Steel Nonstick Skillet and used my new Instant-Read Food Thermometer to cook them to perfection. I drizzled Maple Syrup and Olive Oil on our sliced Acorn Squash before baking them.
Leftover Meatloaf Spaghetti
I chose to make my own concoction out of two meals that my family wasn’t crazy about the first time around. I took my Hidden Veggie Marinara Spaghetti and added in the leftover Cheese-Stuffed, Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf. I chopped up the meatloaf and added a can of Roasted Tomatoes and some shakes of Crushed Peppercorn and Garlic Rub. It didn’t turn out too bad if I do say so myself!
Hidden Veggie Marinara Pasta
I whipped up a batch of Homemade Hidden Veggie Marinara Sauce and served it over Spaghetti. It went will with the Crusty Rolls.
Pickup Mistake
After waiting an hour past the time we were told our pickup order would be ready, the food was just OK. We had a Mediterranean Lover’s Salad, a Pear-Fect Pie, Garlic Knots and Cinna-Knots. The pizza had Evoo, gorgonzola, parmesan, all natural chicken, pears, caramelized onions, balsamic glaze, cracked black pepper. It sounded better than it tasted. Oh well, live and learn. I may not visit another My Pie Pizza if there is another option.
Italian Stuffed Zucchini Boats
I made us Italian Stuffed Zucchini Boats for dinner. They were filled with a ground beef, tomato and mozzarella that was amazing. I served it with another scoop of the Extra Filling and three Baby Bell Peppers. The girls even said that the zucchini boats “weren’t as bad as some of the vegetables” we make them eat. So, I’ll take that as a win!
Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Breasts with Homemade Cauliflower Soup
For dinner, I modified a repeat recipe and baked Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Breasts. I think they are juicier when I use the chicken thighs, but they were still super tasty. I paired that with a wonderful HOMEMADE Cauliflower Soup made from scratch! I felt like a regular Martha Stewart!
