Friends, grab your Big Board and make a beautiful Valentines Charcuterie Board, with little mini heart sandwiches. We love the beauty of a pink, white, and red board (love is in the air!), filled with delicious snacks, for Valentine’s Day! This Valentine’s Day charcuterie board is amazing! It’s a board full of festive meat, cheeses, fruits and candy to start the sweet holiday off right.

Friends, we have a new appliance sitting on our counter that I’m so excited about. Welcome, the new Smart Skillet. Maybe you’ve already tried our Chicken & Sweet Potato Soup with Turmeric recipe!

This kitchen workhorse will transform your life! It does absolutely everything with 10 modes: Stir-Fry, Sauce, Soup, Steam, Simmer, Warm, Sear/Sauté, White Rice, Brown Rice, Grains. And best of all? It’s so lovely, you won’t even mind leaving it out on the counter or serving table!

What’s A Smart Skillet and Why You Should Have One?

The Smart Skillet is the most versatile tool in in my kitchen these days. Whether you’re making stew, soup, or searing a steak, this family-sized six-quart pan gives you room for a good-sized meal. This new “smart” skillet delivers quick and even heating to get dinner on the table!

Why I love my smart skillet

• It’s a combo of our mom’s generation, the electric skillet, plus a slow cooker combined.
• It does a lot for you – in one pan.
• We love GreenPan products (such a great quality).
• Cook the food and walk away.

Epic Chili Dinner Board Recipe

And a great tip is this: Did you know that you can put this board together in minutes, if it’s a last-minute idea? You can buy store-bought chili and enhance the chili by adding a very small amount of cumin, cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup or even peanut butter to your chili! You can even add cocoa. Another option, if you are looking for a great Baked Potato recipe in air fryer, is to add baked potatoes to the board. (more…)
