Chili, but more importantly, Chuckwagon Casserole is my favorite recipe! It is super easy to make and with oven safe cookware, like our HexClad kitchen cookware at our house, you can easily make this a one pot/pan recipe. This is the HexClad pan I use in this recipe- I am such a fan of our cookware set…so much so that I am wondering if I should do a blog post promoting the cookware we have, use…

My daughter loves to just eat ground turkey…typically when it’s in a food storage container mixed with kidney beans and quinoa. She loves to just sit at our kitchen table, eating it by (literally) the handful. So I thought I would make little ground turkey balls mixed with sweet potato, beans and taco seasoning for her to enjoy as snacks. I thought they would be perfect to microwave and then…

Kat Johnson Style, formerly known as The Tiny Twenty-Something, will be taking some new turns in the coming months. Seeing as I am no longer a twenty-something (a thing that ended almost a year ago!) I will be shifting the focus for this blog…slightly. I will still focus on key advice related to my life, unfortunately previously beloved recipes and travel posts failed to back up in September and…

A one month meal plan for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks- including costs! Oftentimes, I see social media content that focuses on just one meal when talking about meal planning, and more often than not those meals are breakfast or dinners. Another problem I see with social media content is that content creators are not being entirely transparent about how much they’re serving with this…

I made some easy pumpkin bread recently and I’m excited to share the recipe with you. I had never made any before so I loosely established the recipe on my banana bread recipes (also something I recently made with Miss Fee). And it turned out wonderful! **Disclosure: this post may contain affiliated links- this means that I may earn a commission from these products if you buy them using these…

BBQ Chicken and bacon pizza is one of the best pizza recipes you can add to your pizza night rotation with this chewy homemade crust.

My BBQ chicken and bacon pizza recipe will have you and your family eating the whole thing in one night! Homemade pizza night doesn’t always have to be red sauce, cheese and pepperoni. Sometimes we like to shake things up. One of the perks about using chicken on our weekly pizza night is that it adds extra protein compared to pepperoni. Other toppings you could use on your pizza are ham,…

Prime Big Deal days are October 8-9 and here's a list of a few items we bought yesterday.

Fall/Winter is upon us, and I have needed to switch up my beauty routine. Our Montana fall/winter weather means that my skin has been dryer and then my face creates more oil. At first, I hadn’t realized the change in weather- we are still experiencing a few days of fall followed by a couple days of what feels like summer! So I was just chalking it all up to pregnancy changes. Then a friend…

The Dinner Meal Plan for September 23-29 is now available to you right here. It was a hectic week so there was a lot of game plan changes that happened to the meal plan as the week went on. Which makes for a decent note for you readers to give yourselves grace when you’re too overwhelmed or overstimulated to continue cooking, budgeting, meal planning etc. Meal planning is exhausting work that…

Dinner Meal Plan for September 8-14, 2024 Save for later! Monday Meatloaf, mashed potatoes (try some gold potatoes rather than russet potatoes!), green beans. I had tried to make meatloaf last…

Sometimes making dinner rolls without the bread machine is a nice change of pace. Last week was Ophelia’s first day of daycare and I was in such peace that I managed to bake some fresh rolls to go along with dinner after I picked her up. Meanwhile, she toddled around with an “after-school, anti-meltdown snack” of cheese and raisins. Compared to using the bread machine I love so dearly, it was a…

One central thing to my life is budgeting. And the best way to budget your groceries is through meal planning! I’ve written loads of articles about meal planning (included below) and here is a micro-series I want to kinda try to start and that’s sharing my meal plan each week. I’m going to share my meal plan for September 8-14 here on the blog, but it might be easier for you all to start on my…
