Amidst the doom and gloom, there’s a glimmer of happiness! Look what finally arrived! In celebration, I made one of my favorite dishes from my new book. I didn’t have any fresh basil, so I used homemade Pesto instead. Served with Fondant Potatoes, Garlic Herb Flatbread and a light salad! Pretty sure if I ateContinue […]
It’s way too hot to crank up the oven, so air fryer to the rescue! It doesn’t get much simpler than this. Chicken Sausages with roasted vegetables. So tasty! You can swap out whatever vegetables you like best, just be sure to briefly boil any root vegetables. This gives them a little head start and […]

I had a lot of leftover Frijoles de Olla from class that needed to be used up, but I didn’t want to make soup with it because it’s a balmy 70°F here. Taco Pizza to the rescue! I refried some of the beans and added them as the “sauce”. It was a hit and IContinue […]
It’s bread week and for once I’m not behind! I’m not the best baker, but these came out pretty nice. I gave one to my neighbor and she loved it! The original recipe didn’t call for honey, but I love the hint of sweetness it gives the bread. • 750 grams Bread Flour • 495Continue […]
It’s been a rough day and this was so needed! Between the stresses of the holidays and daily life, this is a nice pick me up to help set you back on your feet. I only drink this cocoa on stressful days before Christmas. My only regret is that I didn’t have any cream toContinue […]
This is one of my favorite toppings for pancakes! It’s cheaper than pure maple syrup and it’s packed with vitamins and flavor! It’s also a great alternative to sugary corn syrup toppings. ¼ cup Strawberries ¼ cup Blueberries ¼ cup Fresh Raspberries ½ cup Sugar 1 teaspoon Cornstarch 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice; cold Heat aContinue […]

I was afraid that the sausage gravy would clash with the Enchilada Sauce, but they actually tasted really good together. Now I have breakfast for a few days! Served with Bacon Veggie Skillet Potatoes. Sausage Gravy: 1 […]
Last night’s (and tonight’s) dinner. Jerk Chicken Gyros. I normally cook them on the smoker, but my handy-dandy skillet did the trick. I used up the last of my Jerk Seasoning mix, so it’s definitely time to make some more. Jerk Seasoning: 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder 1 teaspoon Onion Salt ½ teaspoon Smoked Paprika 1 […]
I made a Full English Fry Up for the first time! Couldn’t find Black Pudding anywhere so I substituted fried Andouille. The BBQ Bourbon Baked Beans definitely stole the show!
