Hello, once again, my foodies! What seems like not too long ago, we had our last evening in South Dakota. The weeks actually flew by— lots of homework, fishing, family time (LOTS of family time) and, of course, cooking! I decided to use a recipe from one of my earlier YouTube videos and give it a twist! Crispy Pan fried Walleye, but in sandwich form!

Hello to all my Creme foodie friends! I know being in your homes and cooking more than usual may have you feeling a little uninspired. I have to say— I love the challenge of bringing new and fun recipe ideas to you! My kids and I have been laying low at our lake house on Lake Poinsett the last two weeks. Being out here we are isolated, which is great under the circumstances. However there is not much for groceries or stores close by. This mean I get to look inside my fridge and pantry and get creative!

We are back here again with the next addition to our new series on how to make meals for the week based on just one recipe! This week, I feature my favorite black bean recipe, which I then used for Black Bean and Egg Breakfast Burritos, Garlicy Rice and Black Beans with Smoked Sausage, and finally a Smooth and Spicy Black Bean Soup! I know you guys will love this one!

With the way of the world at the moment, I thought it'd be a nice idea to jam-pack a handful of easy dinner recipes all into one, so that you don't have to hassle or worry to make a yummy meal! I've included a shopping list at the end of the video to make it even easier! Hopefully you all enjoy this new format, as we'll be using it for the next few weeks! Stay safe, stay healthy, and remember that cooking is the best therapy! Lots of love from us at Creme de la Creme ♥️

These mushrooms truly are magical. We use them for everything: whether we are topping a grilled burger, throwing them in some amazing pasta Alfredo, or even eating them with some toasted bruschetta! (Top secret idea— spread some goat cheese on your bruschetta first and then spoon these mushrooms over the top. Mmmm...magical, am I right?!?) And to top it all off, they are just so easy. Want the recipe? Here goes....

St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner, and for any of you celebrating with a large, fun-filled party or even just a small gathering of family or friends, I have just the appetizer for you! I created a deconstructed Reuben Sandwich dip, that still has all your favorite ingredients! All baked up to be warm and gooey, this stuff is just asking to be dipped in! I hope you so enjoy!

Good evening once again, my foodies! Last weekend, we made a trip to our lake house in South Dakota on Lake Poinsett, and had a wonderful time up in the north! The snow and coziness of our cottage had me putting some creamy chicken in the crockpot. As a side, I decided to use what we had in our pantry to make the most amazing green beans. And from now on, we shall call them “Lake House Green Beans”! With tomatoes and shallots, smothered with a brown butter… they were to die for.

Today, we feature the latest winner of our recipe contest- broccoli cheese soup! With some special, not-so-secret ingredients, I crafted the best recipe for America's favorite soup! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Everyone needs some comfort every now and then... for us, that fix just happens to be some good, from-the-heart food. Today, for a friend of mine, I'll be making a creamy chicken and noodles to warm and comfort her. What better way to share some love? I can't think of any!

We dug up a recipe from generations ago to share with you a delicious nod to our school days, way back when! My grandmother volunteered as a lunch lady for my mom's school, and with that, created this recipe for pizzawiches! It's such an easy make-ahead meal that could last you a week! And even better, they are so, so delicious.

We recently had a gorgeous day of weather, and that made us want nothing more than to be outside grilling! Today, we warmed our grill for some delicious barbecue pork ribs. We tried out a new recipe and were so in love with the result that we decided to share it! We hope you think these are as mouth-wateringly delicious as we do!

It's pretty bold to state that anything is the world's best... but this is one bold cookie! Today I share my decades-old recipe for one of mine and my family's favorite cookie flavors-- oatmeal chocolate chip! With some added pizazz for Valentine's Day coming up too, there's no better time to get your baking on! So don your oven mitts, and I can't wait to see what you guys create!

Super Bowl Sunday is JUST around the corner and if you haven't set your eyes on your rockstar game day appetizer quite yet, look no further! Today, I show you a new recipe for my twist on tater tot bombs: Buffalo Bacon Wrapped Tater Tot Bites! These were so yummy that my kids started grabbing them by the handful! Paired with them, I make a Feta Cheese Sour Cream Ranch to dip! Can't wait to see this be a part of your football chow down!

I made the most amazing “gyros” with leftover ribeye last night. No one could get enough of this aromatic and savory creation!  We were immediately transported to the Greek islands. (Which luckily helped being in all this snow sleet and cold!) But there was another ingredient in this amazing pita wrap that it just wouldn’t be complete without. It was homemade tzatziki. Creamy yogurt and sour cream with a touch of lemon and dill.  More please! The cucumbers were a snap to shred and the dill with the mint were a match made in heaven. Everything came together beautifully.

Tonight, we feast on enchiladas! We've had such a great time coming up with easy family dinners lately, and that doesn't stop here! And using spices and ingredients you can find in your own pantry, anyone can be a genuine tex-mex chef! And who doesn't LOVE cheese??

Good evening, everyone! It’s been a crazy week, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t come up with this recipe… literally tonight. But it turned out so good so why not pass it on?? It’s a cold and dreary night too, so I looked in my pantry for some soup ingredients! I got my hands on some Cambell’s tomato soup and I thought, “How can I make canned soup seem more gourmet?” A couple flavorful ingredients later, and my kids couldn’t tell it came from an aluminum can!

We went to the back of the fridge for this one, but it turned out fabulous! Today, we made pizza pockets with some puff pastry we had on hand, and paired it with a super easy marinara dipping sauce! The perfect school-night dinner, and the perfect recipe to get your kids involved! Hope you all enjoy!

Hello foodies! I find myself once again wanting to share another quick and easy family favorite recipe. (I’m nothing but a giver, as you all know). A few years ago, I purchased a couple panini presses for a party and we use them every chance we get. We love sandwiches. We love cheese. And to press amazing ingredients together to create a winning combination with these two things just makes all of us happy. And, of course, knowing how I like to shake things up a bit, I added a couple of twists to a traditional Cuban sandwich of my own. I switched out the bread and added some bacon. And provolone cheese instead of Swiss? Why not!

Happy New Year!! Another holiday season has completely flown by. However, the eating in the Dreessen household has not slowed down one bit! New Year’s resolutions?!? Naw... don’t have no time for that business. Resolutions aside, I am obsessed with this new “everything bagel” seasoning. There are so many fun recipes coming out with this kosher salt, sesame seed, poppy seed, onion flame, garlic flake seasoning. The perfect salty and savory menagerie. Yeah... I used a big word.
