 Casseroles & crock pot creations are my absolute favorite!!! Unfortunately they are the two types of foods I struggle to blog since we seem to live in a world that bloggers need to have these fancy process photos or you get mad hate from people who wouldn’t even dare attempt to share such a thing. The best thing about casseroles & crockpot creations is that they are dump in a pan or pot recipes. No need to be glam while making it. I’m sick of it and I’m going to be blogging a whole lot more casseroles & crockpot creations regardless of my process photos come out glam or as I expect them all to be, boring lol.... Today I will be sharing with y’all one of my favorites this winter! I am obsessed with everything cheesy and this Cheesy Broccoli Casserole, which I was told by one of my Keto friends is Keto Friendly, is beyond delicious!!!

 Ahhhhh I have such a love-hate relationship with my instant pot! If I’m being completely honest, the thing just scares me lol... I have it stuck in my head that my Instant Pot will explode all over my kitchen like a bomb. However, I seem to have a talent for making deliciousness with the thing on days that I feel daring to give the Pot a try! One of my favorite dishes just happens to be this yumminess. Beef Broccoli. Always yummy!!!! A family favorite!!! Enjoy!  INGREDIENTS• 1lb flank steak • 4 heads of broccoli; separate from stem • 1/2 tablespoon corn starch; for thickening • 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper • 4 tablespoons soy sauce • 1/2 cup water • 2 tablespoons garlic • 1 tablespoon ginger • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce • sesame seeds for topping; optional  1. Set instant pot to sauté mode. Add in beef and 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Saute until meat is browned and seared on the outside. Turn off saute mode. Add in water. 2. Place lid on instant pot and lock. Turn pressure valve to close. Set to high pressure for 15 minutes. Once the instant pot stops counting quick release pressure. 3. Drain liquid from instant pot. In a small mixing bowl or measure glass add in garlic, ginger, hoisin sauce, cornstarch, and soy sauce. Mix well. Set to saute mode and pour mixture in over meat. Stir well.  4. Add broccoli to instant pot place lid on top with out locking and steam for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir making sure the beef is tossed well and does stick to the bottom of the pot. Put lid back on and steam another 2 minutes until broccoli is tender but crisp not soggy. If you lock your lid make sure the pressure valve is not closed or you won't be able to remove the lid. I just set it on top.  5. Turn off instant pot and serve over rice.

 Omg! So who has seen that Princess Toast vitamin commercial one million times?!?! I’m not even a TV fan. Only time the thing is on is if my hubby is watching sports and yet, I see that commercial ALL THE TIME! I watched it so many times that I could care less about the vitamins, but just had to make what I envisioned Princess Toast to be!  This past Sunday we had a total family lazy day. We literally wore pajamas all day and when we spotted the princess Toast commercial when hubby was watching basketball, my daughter and I decided to go to the kitchen and make our very own version of Princess Toast! Enjoy!!!  Ingredients• Bread • Whipped Cream Cheese • Food Coloring • Sprinkles  Take your whipped cream cheese and divide it into cups. You will want a cup for each color cream cheese you choose to spread on your toast. Then add your food coloring to each individual cup.  Mix well.  Spread your cream cheese onto your toast.  Add sprinkles for an added princess touch.  Serve & enjoy!
