Cheesy Ravioli and Italian Sausage Bake

Cheesy Ravioli and Italian Sausage Bake -- A Pinch of Joy

Please Pin!  Thanks!! Hearty and family friendly, Ravioli and Italian Sausage Bake, goes together in about 20 minutes. Slide it in the oven and do whatever else you need to do until  it’s ready for the table an hour later.  Add a vegetable salad, and a simple dessert – apple slices with peanut butter or […]

Herb Crusted Tilapia

herb-crusted-tilapia-freshly-crispy-with-a-gently-herbed-panko-crust-a-pinch-of-joy

Herbed Crusted Tilapia was a game changer for me.  Fish is good for you and our diets should include fish at least once a week.  I know that.  The thing is, all of my life I’ve lived on one end or the other of the Great Plains and now live smack in the middle.  That’s […]

Sweet n Tangy Barbecue Pork Chop Bake

Sweet n Tangy Barbecue Pork Chop Bake - A Pinch of Joy

Sweet n tangy barbecue pork chops are quick, easy and sooo good!  The first time I made them both Wheels and Bytes spoke after the first couple of bites.   “You can make these any time” was Wheels opinion.  Bytes said, “These are really good.  I’d eat them again.  And again.”  Nice to know the dish […]

Roja Chicken Enchiladas

Roja Chicken Enchiladas -- A Pinch of Jo y Cheese topped Southwest comfort food

Roja Chicken Enchiladas take their name from the red enchilada sauce used over top the filled tortillas.  If it were green enchilada sauce, they would be verde enchiladas.  Everybody else probably knows that — but me.  🙂  Yes, I knew the names meant red and green in Spanish — but never got close enough to […]

Crunchy Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars

.Crunchy Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars topped with mini peanut butter hearts -- A Pinch of Joy

Valentine’s Day has a few traditions around our house.  Wheels comes up with beautiful heartfelt cards that make me cry.   And sometimes the perfect — although quite unexpected — gift.    When Bytes and his brother  were little I would find something red to gift them — a red truck, a red book, red handled pliers,  […]

How to Make A Therapeutic Heat Pack : The Ultimate Guide

A therapeutic heat pack is also, and probably more often, called the rice bag.  How can a cup or two of rice sewn into a fabric casing be therapeutic?  Ahhhh — the Cambridge Dictionary says anything that causes one to be happier, more relaxed and healthier is therapeutic.   And the rice bag will do all […]

Busy Monday 737

  This has been a catch-up week before fall comes and everything gets super busy.  Pick-up, put away, throw away, organize, tidy – wonder what the heck this thing is for and why do I own it?  That question especially applies to electronics, their cords, and accessories.  I’m afraid to toss any thing in that […]
