I’ve officially converted my favorite slow cooker soup to an instant pot version that’s way quicker and easier (like all things with the instant pot seem to be). This is one of those soups that I can really eat all year round, and my family loves it too! It’s packed with “hidden veggies” like carrots, celery and onion, which add to the flavor and make me feel even better about how much my kids enjoy it....
I’m the COO of Pinch of Yum. COO = Chief Overeating Officer. Lest anyone be confused, in all reality I don’t really do much on Pinch of Yum other than these monthly income reports and the occasional line of HTML code. I also play the role of supporting Lindsay when she’s learning a new software. 🙂 Every month I put together a post outlining where we’re earning income from Pinch of Yum....

Thanks to new readers who are just discovering my little blog....
After months of dreaming and pinning ideas // months of pretending to be an adult picking out things like countertops and faucets // months of cooking everything in a toaster and eating at a folding table in the basement while the kitchen becomes beautified — the time has come! Let the Final Reveal Begin. PINCH ME. Even before I started this little ol’ blog, the kitchen has always been my happy zone....
From my last post, I wanted to thank everyone who chimed in about our Day at the Racetrack. We had a great day. It was fun being with my family, outside in the fresh air, and watching the horses. It was interesting to hear everyone’s take on if you gamble or not. Not a lot of heavy hitters in the gambling department as readers. Not surprised. Most of us would rather spend our hard-earned money on nut butter and chia seeds than frittering it away!...
We all know classic Cobb salad with tender chicken, crispy bacon, cheese, and hard-boiled eggs. I took that traditional recipe and amped it up by also adding a variety of Southwestern inspired ingredients including tomatoes, corn, black beans, avocado, and corn tortilla strips over a bed of Romaine lettuce. I top this easy Southwestern chicken Cobb salad with a mixture of barbecue sauce and buttermilk Ranch dressing so that every crispy, crunchy bite is full of tons of flavor galore!...
Did you try the unicorn frappuccino? My daughter was dying to try it and while I thought it was ‘okay’, both she and both agree that this unicorn bark is much superior. This bark is loaded with pretzels, marshmallows, toffee bits, mini peanut butter cups, and don’t forget the sprinkles that give it a distinctly unicorn vibe. I used these Sweetapolita sprinkles. Best sprinkles ever. I made this bark for a person who is all about sprinkles and her name is Sally....

A few days ago I posted a recipe for that super quick 5 Minute Romesco Sauce. You were happy, I was happy, our blenders were happy – in general we all liked what was going on with that sauce . comment icon 70 more comments But then I went and made lots of things with the sauce, one of those things being Mini Chicken Meatballs, and I was convicted – what kind of food blog friend would I be if I didn’t also show you the most delicious way that this sauce has manifested itself into a full blown dinner recipe?...
Easy, inexpensive, everyone likes them. No one complains. My mom made them with Kraft Singles Cheese and one of the highlights of grilled cheese making was my sister and I opening the plastic wrap on those Singles and peeling the cheese off the plastic. We tried to open the cheese without dinging or breaking the cheese corners. Sounds easy enough but when you’re a kid and in a hurry, broken corners can be unfortunate casualties....
Vegan Pumpkin Streusel Bread Recipe This vegan pumpkin bread is so soft and moist, you won’t miss the eggs or butter one bit. The vegan streusel toppings is slightly crispy, dense, very chewy and gives way to the tender, springy loaf underneath. It’s a texture contrast that’s supremely amazing.It’s a buttery, brown sugar-based streusel and it’s a thicker, moister streusel rather than a dry, crumbly one. As the bread bakes, the topping spreads slightly and bakes into the batter rather than just sitting on top of the loaf like sandy pebbles, waiting to fall off all over my kitchen floor....
Do you want more 30 minute meals? Try these Salmon Bowls, Chicken Street Tacos, Peanut Noodles, and Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps! What I LOVE about this recipe: More Affordable than a restaurant– I love making my own version of restaurant favorites at home, so I can save money and control the ingredients. This dish isn’t authentic, but it tastes amazing. Don’t miss my Chow Mein, Kung Pao Chicken or Shrimp, and General Tso’s Chicken....
Rather than just eat it by the spoonful straight from the jar. Jars of sweet spread and spoons inserted in them are wonderful, but ya know. I decided to actually make something with my new best friend. And that’s where these cookies entered the picture. They are the moistest ginger molasses cookies I’ve ever had. And the most robust in flavor. And the easiest. These cookies are pretty close to just eating cookie butter straight up because they’re essentially cookie butter and cookie crumbs....
We always had fun making our ornaments. Over the years, however, ornament making morphed into cookie making. I made chocolate truffles and my sister made cornflake clusters. Both were received with excitement and devoured usually within 24 hours. No one seemed to miss the ornaments very much. I can’t say I blame them. My sister’s cornflake clusters were especially good. I’m not sure where our mother found the recipe, but it has held up over the years....
comment icon 146 more comments before I put on my make up… I make a flax blueberry muffin just for youuuu… True story. I’ve made these at least 18 divided by 3 times in the last few weeks of being home, So I made these, and then I made them again to tweak the recipe, and then I made them again just because I could. Such is my life in the summertime....
Italian Sausage Penne Pasta Recipe I am a huge pan of one-pot recipes, meaning you cook the protein and the pasta in the same pot, and you don’t need to drain any pasta water later. It makes life so much simpler and obviously doing dishes is a breeze with just one pot. This family-friendly comfort food recipe is ready in 20 minutes and is sure to be a hit with everyone....
If you love homemade candy, try our Chocolate Fudge, Caramel Popcorn, or Peanut Butter Balls! What’s not to love about this easy 3-ingredient, no-bake Oreo balls recipe? They’re as easy to make as they are to eat, made with just one package of Oreos, a block of cream cheese, and some melted chocolate. They’re a huge crowd pleased at parties, and you can even make them ahead and freeze them for special occasions....
Peanut Butter S’mores Pie Recipe I love making cookie pies because they’re faster and easier than making cookies and this one is no exception. But it’s how amazing it tastes that really matters. Seriously one of the best desserts I’ve had in awhile and it’s so easy. Warm, gooey, peanut butter, chocolate, and marshmallows — all the elements for a perfect comfort food dessert in my book. Underneath a layer of lightly toasted marshmallows and melted chocolate chips is a graham cracker crumb-peanut butter cookie....
She slid And I tried to do as little as possible and laid on my chaise. And admired the view. After that, we went to the beach. And after the sun started going down… We came home and drank peaches and coconut cream smoothies Ate frozen grapes And kiwi I bought 6 of them for less than $2 bucks yesterday. Skylar ate 5 and told Scott and I we could split one....
Pizza Made Using Puff Pastry I’m always on the hunt for quick and easy dinners that are family friendly, kid-approved, and great for busy weeknights. This puff pastry pizza with oodles of cheese, pepperoni, bacon, and some fun extras like cherry tomatoes and fresh basil checks all the boxes. It uses a great kitchen shortcut — namely puff pastry for the dough which creates a flaky, light crust. Don’t worry if you don’t have puff pastry dough in your area because I have lots of other favorite pizza recipes without it that are highlighted underneath the recipe card section....
