Dutch Oven Chicken & Rice with Spicy Peanut Sauce
Happy Sunday! I hope you are having a nice relaxing day. Keeping with my documentation of national days and recipes that go along with them — today is National Peanut Day.

This recipe uses a Dutch Oven. I…

Portobello and Sage-Stuffed Acorn Squash
Hi! Today is National Acorn Squash Day. As a kid, I had no idea there were so many different types of squash! This recipe — Portobello and Sage-Stuffed Acorn Squash — is one that you can enjoy as the weather gets cool (in some places) as we head into fall.

At least, it’s a busy month for Food themes! It’s National Mushroom Month and National Rice Month. There are many more themes for this month — several of which I will be discussing throughout the month. My first recipe for the month – Instant Pot® Rustic Mushroom Rice – incorporates both themes into one tasty recipe. Mushrooms were not a common ingredient in my childhood home. I have gotten a bit more adventurous as an adult but we definitely pick our spots.…
