Welcome new followers

Hey, I’m excited for some new followers and wanted to take a quick second to introduce myself. My name is Kristin Andrus and I love to cook and entertain in between wrangling my four little girls and driving carpool. My husband and I love to travel and eat good food. I don’t have a blog and post all my recipes right here on Instagram. If you have any questions, comments, or requests just let me know. I post easy @justadash_ recipes which mean you don’t need measurements and you can substitute ingredients you have at home. We all have to cook dinner, so let’s make it FUN and YUMMY! Thanks!

I HATE Baking

I can’t stop laughing at my homemade smash cake! Never trust my baking tips, only cooking tips!

1 Years Old

Celebrating a very special One Year Old today!

Hello!

Just wanted to take a second to introduce myself to some new friends thanks to a fun shout out from @lunchpailsandlipstick. I’m a mom of four little girls and married to my handsome husband who runs @traegergrills. I love to share quick and easy recipes on Instagram that EVERYONE can make. No blog, so recipes will be right here! I’m creative in the kitchen and never use precise measurements (hence just a dash) but I’ll do my best in sharing with you. If you have questions, ask away! Thanks for following and invite your friends!

Mothers Day Dinner

Beyond blessed! I ate like a Queen tonight thanks to our Traeger Pit master and his darling sous-chefs! As you know, I can’t stay out of the kitchen so this salad will be up on tomorrow’s post! Happy Mother’s Day to all of you. I hope you were spoiled rotten or at least we’re able to take a 20 minute nap!

ETC.

Finding this picture taken by my 3 year old today made me laugh. I’ve been working on so many fun projects and was right in the midst of “working” when I realized she’d been snapping for awhile. One project I’m in the midst of includes different variations for the recipes I’m creating. I have so many ideas that stem off of my initial recipe I thought I’d start a new “ETC” segment with you. Let me know what you think! For instance yesterday’s pancakes (which you have to make btw, they were amazing.) ETC~ Crepes with Lemon Ricotta filling, Pasta with lemon, ricotta, and basil. Top a scoop of Ricotta with strawberries and honey or blackberries and brown sugar. Add leftover ricotta to your vinaigrette or scrambled eggs. Spread ricotta and lemon over toast. And of course, lemon zest can go on everything and anything especially sauces, pastas, veggies, and dressings. We go through lemons like crazy at our house.
