Are you looking for more easy dinner recipes??
As you all know, I love coming up with new Skillet Recipes to share with you on the blog! My Grandma always cooked in a Cast Iron Skillet and so do I! It’s the pan with the seasonings build right in!! I just added this Cast Iron Skillet to my Christmas wish list!!
I am really picky when it comes to cooking in the kitchen. Here is the way it has to be.
- Dinners have to be easy so I always try to use easy dinner recipes. (I’m a Mom, I don’t have time for difficult)
- I have a few must-have products to make my life easier. (I know you all know what I’m talking about!)
Here are my favorite products that I used on this meal…
- Pioneer Woman 18×12 Wooden Cutting Board
- Pioneer Woman Placemats (See it in the picture. So sweet!!)
- Pioneer Woman Vintage Speckle Cookware Set (You MUST have good pans! Seriously, if you are looking for pans these are stellar!)
Being in the kitchen is all about making it quick and having good products. Finding good pans is such a difficult thing to do. Inevitably you get them home and something goes wrong. They either warp, get scratched or worse yet…. burn the food. Grab the Pioneer Woman Cookware Set and you won’t be sorry. Promise! 
Enough babbling about how to be happy in the kitchen!! Let’s get on to the recipe folks! Here is one of my favorite easy dinner recipes!
