Chicken Paprikash is one of Ryan’s favorite comfort foods from his childhood. His Mom passed the recipe to me and I added my own fall-themed spin to it in this Pumpkin Chicken Paprikash. I add pureed pumpkin to the sauce in place of tomatoes. Note that it’s pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin
Yes, it does taste good! The number one question after I teased photos of these Pumpkin Veggie Burgers was, “does that taste good?” Bear in mind, these are NOT “pumpkin spice” veggie burgers. Just pumpkin 🙂 So, don’t worry, these won’t remind you of your favorite fall candle. In this case, the pumpkin makes the
Ribs are in my top ten favorite foods of all time and I love them on the smoker. But, I don’t always have six hours to babysit the baby backs on my Green Mountain Grill, so that’s why I came up with this Instant Pot Baby Back Ribs recipe. It’s BBQ ribs with a homemade
These Oven Fried Chicken Fingers were inspired by the Shake ‘n’ Bake style chicken my Mom made when I was a kid. She’d get a bunch of bone-in chicken pieces, coat them in a mixture of crushed saltines, flour and spices and bake them, all topped with a pat of butter. I hadn’t had that

The objective of this particular Facebook Live session was to make homemade tortillas. https://www.facebook.com/JoanieSimonMedia/videos/761754800671283/ We raided the fridge for fillings and seeing that I had leftover smoked salmon, we made salmon tacos with a carrot slaw.

Plus, you get that great fall-off-the-bone tender meat, but a nice crispy skin. YES! How to Cook Wings in the Instant Pot You start off by
This easy sesame shrimp recipe was inspired from the fact that I don’t cook shrimp as often as I would like. Shrimp was on sale at the grocery store and I wanted to keep the flavors simple and light. You know, let the shrimp do its thing. Sesame Shrimp (or chicken for that matter) is
These Tater Tot and Bacon Breakfast Burritos are much thanks to a housewarming gift from my friend Aaron at Go Lb Salt. He dropped by the Simon Ranchito with BACON!!! His dry cured savory herb bacon was, perhaps, the best housewarming gift ever. So, obviously, it meant that bacon was on the menu for Saturday
Nothing like a crazy time in life to inspire great new recipes. This Instant Pot Lasagna Soup was born 100% out of the insanity of moving. Half the kitchen packed in boxes. Nothing but a mashup of random ingredients was in the pantry and fridge. It all left me wondering what to make for dinner.
Burgers for breakfast? No, this breakfast burger is more for those who want breakfast for dinner. It’s definitely a hefty dinner time sandwich with thick cut bacon, melty cheddar cheese and 1/4lb all-beef patty. Don’t let the English Muffin throw you. It’s my favorite bun option out there for any burger. Burger for Breakfast To
If there’s a flavor profile that I’m guaranteed to go for, it’s Buffalo style. Hot sauce, blue cheese (sorry ranch), cool crisp celery, say no more. It’s with a true wing lover’s heart that I present to you this Buffalo Burger. It took a few attempts to get this one just right. I wanted to
