The Real Cooking Maggie

On Instant Pot Baked Potato Soup

Have I mentioned lately that I’ve been on a soup kick? I don’t care that it’s warm outside, sometimes soup is just what is called for…and when it rains, well, that just INSTANTLY puts me in a super cozy mood. I know for sure that is a phrase that I have used in the past….

On Cookies with Maggie

Hey Everyone! If you haven’t seen already, we have a new addition to our little family! Meet Floyd Pupper (after the bass playing Muppet Floyd Pepper of the Electric Mayhem Muppet band), and he’s a goofy little nugget, that’s for sure! You can see all the adorable puppy updates on Tuggs’ instagram (@lordtuggs). This week’s…

On Seared Scallops with Pea Puree and Bacon

Note: I thought the recipe I put in had saved…it had not…so THIS TIME with the correct recipe included… If there is anything you should know about me, it’s that I LOVE scallops. Can’t get enough of them, but unfortunately, Frankie isn’t the biggest fan, so I don’t make them at home very often. HOWEVER,…

On Cookies with Maggie

Hey Everyone! It’s been a bit of a crazy week to say the least, so I know I missed the cookie shout out last week. My apologies…while during the majority of the pandemic I felt energized and ready to get things done, recently I’ve just been feeling very thinned out with everything that happened with…

On Baked Ziti

As we start to get into that fall weather, there is really nothing more satisfying or soul warming than a baked pasta dish. What’s even better is when you’re able to cut some corners (there are only a few times that I’ll go ahead and use a specific jarred marinara instead of making my own…

On Shishito Pepper Appetizer

Has anyone else noticed the crazy of shishito peppers lately? I have started to see the bagged shishito peppers in my store more often, but I didn’t quite understand what the craze was simply because I hadn’t tried them for myself yet. Lo and behold, I did finally try them, and I made them again…

On Cookies with Maggie

Hey Everyone! This week on Cookies with Maggie, I was honored to be asked to make cookies for a Pride Festival in Columbus, Ohio, and I got to customize them for the non-for-profit For the Love of Primates! Such a fun set to do, as well as a Nursing School Graduation set I also got…

On Classic Sausage Rolls

As I start to return to the office more regularly (officially back 3 days now, which is super weird if I’m being perfectly honest), I am still returning to a lot of my favorite recipes from “Cooking with Coworkers.” The last recipe we did together before the Christmas break was one that touches a personal…

On Cookies with Maggie, Birthdays, & Tuggs

Hey Everyone! Before I touch base on the cookies of this week, most of you may have noticed that I had posted a recipe then took it down. I did so because I was dealing with a Tuggs emergency (more on that in a moment) and decided it was not the week to post anything….

On Cookies with Maggie

Hey Everyone! This week on Cookies with Maggie, we have a couple of bridal shower cookie sets that I did! I also recently published my availability on my Instagram in case anyone is looking to place an order! I’ll also include my availability below too, but note that I’m not taking any orders of more…

On Instant Pot Carnitas

Okay, so here’s how I feel about pork. I am not great at cooking it—thought I expect that’s because I don’t try very often, so that’s on me—and most of the time when I’ve had it at some restaurants (outside of barbeque, which, of course, I’m all over), it’s been dry…so it’s just not my…

On Cookies with Maggie

Hey Everyone! This week on Cookies with Maggie, I am sharing a fun new set I did for my sister in law, who recently started her journey in medical school at the University of New England in Maine! This is a very exciting time for her, so I wanted to mark the occasion with a…
