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 addContinue […]
I love Taco Pizza! You can substitute the refried beans for enchilada sauce, but I prefer the creaminess of the beans. It’s by far one of my favorite pizzas! Preheating the pizza stone is key for a crispy crust that’s fluffy on the inside. Be sure to sprinkle corn meal to keep it from stickingContinue […]
I made quesadillas for lunch and they were so quick to make! I wasn’t happy with the tortillas I made last night so I made a second batch. So much better! Of course, you can use store-bought tortillas but I highly recommend making them from scratch at least once! Ancho Chicken: 3 large Chicken ThighsContinue […]
Homemade Ricotta Cheese is so simple and requires cheap, kitchen staples. It is cheaper, more flavorful and so much fun to make! You can also add in herbs, spices and seasonings to amp up the flavor. Pesto is a favorite of mine, for sure! ½ gallon Whole Milk 1 cup Heavy Cream ⅓ cup AppleContinue […]
Pan Seared Smoked Paprika Chicken, Garlic Herb Mashed Potatoes, Steamed Carrots Mushrooms and Peas and Gluten Free Biscuits is what’s for lunch and dinner. I can’t believe I left the gravy on the stove. I was so hungry that I didn’t even bother taking it out of the skillet. Pan Seared Smoked Paprika Chicken 2Continue […]
I had several people over various groups ask me for my recipe for Green Bean and Corn Casserole. You can substitute the homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup for the canned variety if are short on time. I kinda always thought that green bean casserole was missing a sweet element, so I tossed in a canContinue […]
Something I’ve been wanting to make for years now: the Cubano or Cuban Midnight Sandwich! I don’t know why I waited so long! It was delicious on its own or dipped in last night’s Potato and Bacon Ends Chowder. Try as I might, I couldn’t find a grill press or cuban rolls so I hadContinue […]
Day 23 of my 8 week #PantryChallenge Switched things up a bit. I noticed a significant difference in my energy level, attitude and weight over the last month. While I had frozen vegetables on hand as well as cabbage, beets, carrots, etc. my body craved fresh, crisp greens. It just goes to show just howContinue […]
Day 32 of my #PantryChallenge Still feeling pretty crummy, so dinner isn’t pretty but it’s quick and tasty. I needed to use up the rest of the chicken thighs from the other night and I was craving vitamin C. Turned out pretty darn tasty for winging it! Served with Creamy Zucchini & Sweet Potato Orzo.Continue […]
The husband requested a pasta dish for dinner and Chicken Parm with spaghetti sounded perfect! It’s a great weeknight meal, but the deep fried nature of the dish can be a bit unhealthy. We wanted a lighter option for dinners and this delivered! 3 large Chicken Breasts 2 cups Flour 2 cups Panko Breadcrumbs 1Continue […]
These Angus burgers topped with French fried carrots and onions, pickles, lettuce, tomato and BBQ Aioli are amazing! The textures of the shoestring vegetables and the sweet tang of the bbq aioli compliment the beef so well. Angus Beef Patties: 2 pounds Ground Angus Beef 1 large Egg Salt and Pepper 1 Tablespoon Olive OilContinue […]
I love cooking in Parchment paper! It really helps seal in moisture. Not only that, but it also makes it cook faster using the power of steam! I’ve been a bit under the weather so I wanted to make a dinner that was lighter, fresher and super quick for my vlog channel next week. 30Continue […]
Day 17 of my 8 week #PantryChallenge I was supposed to make my Honey Butter Chicken tonight, but I’m kinda over fried food right now. I decided to make Split Pea Soup instead! Some people love it, some people hate it, but all I’m saying is give peas a chance! I normally use ham hocks,Continue […]
Day 14 of my 8 week #PantryChallenge 2 weeks in and I’ve saved around $400! One of my favorite restaurants I frequented VERY regularly over the 14 years I lived in Colorado was Tokyo Joes. I miss their Brown Rice Thai Peanut Chicken Bowls. I’ve been making my own for 6 years now and they’reContinue […]
