Andrew loves Mexican food, so I find myself making this quite a lot. It’s quick, tasty and inexpensive to make! You can top it with whatever toppings you like or you can serve everything over lettuce to make an awesome taco salad. Chicken: 3 large Chicken Breasts 2 Tablespoons Ancho Chile Paste 2 cups ChickenContinue […]
I was craving Sloppy Joes something fierce. I’m still *mostly* rocking the low-carb thing, so Sloppy Joe Stuffed Peppers it is! They turned out great! Definitely making these again! 2 large Bell Peppers; halved and cored 1 ½ cups Mozzarella Cheese; shredded — Sloppy Joe Mix: 1 lb Ground Beef ½ cup Tomatoes; chopped 1 […]
Yes, but have you ever made Scalloped Potatoes with Broccoli Cheddar Soup? SO delicious!! My baby brothers were in town and they eat out…a LOT. So I’m sending them home with something they can pop in the oven for 30 minutes. I saved one for tomorrow’s dinner, so that’ll make my day easier. 4-5 cups […]
9 times out of 10, I don’t even use salad dressing. With the right veggies and protein you can cut the calories without sacrificing any of the flavor. Chicken: 1 large Chicken Breast Garlic Powder, Salt and Pepper to taste Olive Oil — Salad: 4 slices of Italian Bread; cubed 1 medium Beet; peeled and […]
Another cold day calls for more soup. Bacon Broccoli Cheddar this time. I had some cream, broccoli and carrots that I needed to use up, so it was perfect. I made some homemade Garlic Bread to go with it. ¼ Cup Bacon Grease 1 small Onion; chopped ½ cup Celery; chopped 3 cloves Garlic; mincedContinue […]
This delicious bread isn’t just for gyros. It’s amazing dipped in soups or chilis! You can choose to proof the dough a second time, but I ran out of time before class started. Whoops! They still turned out marvelously delicious and fluffy. They cook up in about 2 minutes, so make sure not to walkContinue […]
I love one pan meals! I don’t have a bunch of pans to babysit and clean up is a cinch. The salmon isn’t too sweet and has a nice pop of citrus. You can certainly swap out the vegetables, just make sure they are similarly sized so they cook evenly and don’t dry out. Potatoes: 2Continue […]
Ground turkey was the only defrosted meat I had in my fridge and I didn’t want to make the same old thing. I had everything needed to make this hearty and delicious soup, plus it came together in under an hour. It makes quite a bit but don’t worry, it’s even tastier the next day!Continue […]
Sometimes all you need is a big bowl of Italian pasta salad. It’s such an awesome way of using up the extra odds and ends in the kitchen. I had extra pasta, chicken and pepperoni that needed to be eaten so in they went! 4 ½ cups Pasta; cooked ½ cup Black Olives; sliced ½Continue […]
Fresh pasta is such a treat and it’s a lot easier than you think. While a pasta machine might be convenient, the good ol’ rolling pin and pizza cutter work just fine. ¼ cup White Rice Flour ¼ cup Tapioca Flour ½ cup Potato Starch 1 cup Brown Rice Flour ½ cup Amaranth Flour 2Continue […]
I made empanadas for the first time! They were really stinking good so I’m definitely going to have to make them again. I filled them with pork carnitas and Monterey Jack cheese. Next time I want to try a sweet version. Filling: 2 lb Pork Shoulder 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika ½ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper 1Continue […]
I was craving a McGriddle minus the $4.50 price tag. 80¢ is much more my tune! These little bad boys freeze really well, so I made a dozen. Pancakes: 1 ½ cups Flour 2 teaspoons Baking Powder 1 teaspoon Salt 2 teaspoon Sugar 1 ¼ cup whole Milk 1 large Egg 4 Tablespoons Butter 2Continue […]

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:Continue […]
