It was my first day of class yesterday and I ended the day with quite a bit carrot puree. I thought pork and mushroom ravioli would go great with it! I’ve never been a fan of fancy plating because it tends to look pretentious, but I thought I’d give it a go. Filling: 1 lb […]
I wanted to make an Italian chicken dish that didn’t have much dairy in it. This really hit the spot! I made cinnamon candied carrots, sautéed mushrooms and green beans to go with it. I got a thumbs up for dinner! Chicken: 5 large Bone-In Skin-On Chicken Thighs 1 stick Butter; softened ⅔ teaspoon Dried […]
Day 25 of my 8 week #PantryChallenge Another quick dinner before heading back to work. I’ve never been more excited for a lettuce wrap in my life. I had to start buying fresh produce again and I feel SO much better for it. The lettuce and celery were $1.20 and I only used about 1/3 […]
I love pastry braids! Delicious, buttery and the whole family will love it! Making the puff pastry takes time, but you can certainly use store bought with amazing results. Serve it with a side salad or a light vinaigrette coleslaw! 2 cups Chicken Breast; cubed 1 teaspoon Herbs de Provence Salt and Pepper to taste […]
I made some cajun sausages the other day and was trying to think of a way to serve it. Sausage and peppers! I ended up air frying the sausage whole for 14 minutes and it was so crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Sausage: 2 lbs Pork Butt; cubed 1 lb Pork […]
I spent all day yesterday making food deliveries and the one spot they kept sending me to was Taco Bell. By the end of the night I really wanted a Taco Supreme, but there’s no way in heck I’m spending $2.50 on a single taco. 40¢ is much more up my alley! Texture is a […]
I LOVE chicken egg rolls! They’re amazing with tangy sweet and sour sauce! They’re much cheaper and tastier if you make them at home. Plus, they’re really not that hard to make and you know exactly what’s in them. No 10 syllable preservatives here! Shrimp and chicken are my personal favorites, but you can add […]
Day 7 of my 8 week #PantryChallenge No eating out, no take-out and no new groceries. Another part of this challenge is to stop food waste in my kitchen. I was supposed to make Baked Bean Burgers today, but had some chicken breasts, cauliflower and leftover Sprite Batter in my fridge that I needed to […]
Still mourning Taco Bell’s Fiesta Taco Salad. I added some things that don’t normally come with it and I baked the chicken in my toaster oven so I wasn’t babysitting my griddle. You can air fry the tortilla bowl too. Or you can do what I did and give yourself a second degree burn. Chicken: […]
This is the easiest way to amp up your premade (or homemade if you have the time) biscuit dough! A few simple ingredients and you’ve got a delicious pull apart bread that’s a hit with the whole family. It’s such a versatile side dish that it can accompany a wide range of main courses brilliantly. […]
Chicken Pot Pie is such an amazing winter dish! It’s warm, rich and so inviting! I make it several times a month and just can’t get enough of it! These tiny servings are so cute and convenient! Be sure that your mugs are oven safe beforehand. 2 large Chicken Breasts; cooked & cubed 3 Celery […]
I love putting forward simple, no nonsense recipes that get to heart of the matter. I don’t feel that recipes should come with a life story, so let’s get straight to the cooking. ❤️ Marbled Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas Baked Caprese Chicken Breasts Traditional Fry Bread Tacos Hearty Homestyle Lasagna Kung Pao Meatballs Broccoli Romanesco […]
I’ve never had legitimate Chicken and Waffles before. I tried it once with frozen chicken tenders and pre-mixed waffle batter and wasn’t impressed. Making it from scratch is definitely the way to go! The smoked paprika and maple syrup went really well together! 2 Bacon Strips; cooked 2 Tablespoons Butter ½ teaspoon Cinnamon 1 Tablespoon […]
I watched Fat Acid Heat and just HAD to try it! I altered Samin Nosrat’s recipe for Ligurian Focaccia and wowza! It’s now a staple and my go to flatbread! I don’t brine mine, however, but the taste is incredible anyways! Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside and the taste packs a punch […]
