Advanced Happy Father’s day to all the dads out there! 🎉🎊 I was going to post this tomorrow morning for the actual Father’s day but decided to post it today so you can chill the cheesecake overnight and have it ready to go if you decide to make it. My father encouraged all my many…

I didn’t realize that a lot of people have this Electric Lunchbox. It was an impulse purchase for me because it was so cute! I mean, just look at it! 😍 One thing I know is that it took a little trial and error for me to be comfortable using it. The instructions included were…
Chicken Parmesan with egg noodles in the electric lunchbox - another comfort food made easy! My family loves pasta (so much for me trying to follow a low carb lifestyle!), so we usually have a pasta dish at least once two every weeks. But this recipe totally changes it. I can make one to two…
I need to go to the grocery store today and as I was looking at my kitchen, I found a lonely banana that was spotted and a little too ripe for eating. Banana bread! BUT there was just ONE banana! My usual banana bread recipe needs a full cup of mashed bananas, which is about…

This recipe reminds me of camping. I never really did real camping, but I wanted to take my son, nieces and nephew badly that I bought most of the necessary items a few years ago. I was planning to go with just me, my 7 year old son, 7 year old niece, 11 year old…
I love potato dishes in every form! And this Scalloped Potatoes, that is safe to take to work and then cooked, is something I had been working on. Cream and milk would need refrigeration so I dropped those. Cheese and butter can sit a little at room temperature better than cream and milk so those…
After a trip to the toaster...perfect! And recipe #2 of my wonderful experiments! Pizza in the Electric Lunchbox....perfected with the help of a toaster! This recipe makes a pizza that is similar to the precooked frozen ones that needs to be baked a bit more before serving, hence the need for the oven toaster. I…
Cool weather means chili, stews, corn bread, oyster crackers, casseroles, and all sorts of comfort food to me! So I just had to try making them in the ELB! Of course, I will be posting them here as I get it right. I hope you try them out as the weather changes, to keep your…
Meatloaf in the ELB...it might not look as amazing as oven baked ones, but convenience wise, it can’t be beat. You just mix everything in a bowl, shape into a patty or 3, fit them in the ELB bowl, steam, and tada! A wonderful meal. If you want to prep this the night before (like…
Coffee cake in the ELB! A dangerous idea. I love coffee cakes in any shape or form and making it almost effortlessly in the ELB will mean I can have it anytime I want it. Without heating up the oven. Which is a good/bad thing. 😊 But it’s too tempting not to try! (Aside from…
Buttery toasted bread, thinly sliced beef, mushrooms, provolone cheese...... I only had Philly Cheesesteak a few times, but I remember how good it tasted. Today’s recipe came about because my son remembered the sandwich we had in Las Vegas several months ago. With travel not recommended right now, I had to try making it at…
Another cheesecake recipe! Can you tell it’s one of my favorite desserts? 😊 The fact that it comes together rather quickly with just a few ingredients that I always have, “bakes” in the Electric Lunchbox, and is ready within about an hour, makes it ever present in my dessert rotation. So today, I am making…
I had mentioned how pizza is a staple in my home because my son loves it, but this recipe is totally a different thing. This has the familiar flavor associated with pizza - cheese, tomato, pepperoni...but in dip form. Feel free to use crackers, pita squares, waffles, waffle sticks or toasted bread cut into stick…
Clafouti! This recipe is for a French custardy dessert that is a perfect use for summer’s sweet cherries! I had vanpooled for work during the last couple of years I worked at UCLA (140+miles/day)and was in a group of 11 people. Some would leave, and got replaced, but the rest of us, we got to…
Fall...Pumpkin...cinnamon...cloves...some things just work perfectly together! Ready or not, fall is coming! What better way to celebrate it than with pumpkin bread? I love the pumpkin bread they serve at Starbucks, with pumpkin seeds on top! It’s a wonderful treat I would pick up often, specially when on vacation. So I tried making a similar…
I’m back after not posting for a long time. Have you tried a beautiful, green colored Pistachio Cake? My coworker (Jonnielyn Rivera) shared this super easy recipe with me a few years ago and I just had to adapt it to the ELB! It did take some time because I sometimes ended up with a…
Still on my infatuation with pumpkin...this time we’ll be making a pumpkin pie! A personal sized, good for 2-4 servings, piece of a Thanksgiving tradition. That serving number depends on your desire to share though, and if it is a single serving for you, then that is totally fine too! 😊 *NOTE that this recipe…
Taco Soup! Perfect for the cold weather we are having right now...not that it compares to the snow storms experienced in Texas and other states. But still, everyone needs a good recipe for a delicious warm soup, right? This is another Brentwood recipe, one that we tasted at a potluck more than once and got…
