I’m not very familiar with cooking with alcohol, but it adds a lot of depth to a dish! Plus, the caramelized onions were well worth the wait. They were so sweet and tender! Since this was a school assignment dish, I wanted to make the bread from scratch as well. Finding a soup crock that […]
We just finished up sauté week and I wanted to give it a proper farewell. I’ve been wanting to make homemade tortillas again for a while and chicken fajitas gave me the perfect excuse! I added a bit of bacon grease, garlic powder, green onion and smoked paprika to the tortillas and it was soContinue […]
Happy Wing Wednesday! I had some Soy Lime Glaze leftover from dinner last night, so Soy Lime Glazed Wings it is! I added a drizzle of Sriracha Aioli to kick the heat up a bit. So delicious!

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 toContinue […]

Day 4 of my 8 week #pantrychallenge I really wanted Buffalo Wings, but the rules of the challenge and my wallet say no. I did have some chicken drumsticks in my freezer, though! They turned out crispy and delicious! Half Buffalo Drums, half BBQ. I also made some Onion Rings to go with them. IContinue […]

I’m definitely making these bad boys again! 6 large Buns Condiments of choice — Curry Cole Slaw: 3 cups Green Cabbage; shredded ½ cup Red Cabbage; shredded ¼ cup Onion; chopped ¼ cup […]
I had such an amazing week with my family back in Oregon this week! My mom picked up some black cod and it was perfect for fish tacos, one of my dad’s favorite dishes. It came together so fast and went amazing with the homemade Mango Salsa, Creamy Chipotle Slaw and Mexican Rice. Crispy BlackenedContinue […]

This was my first time breaking down a whole crab. It was way easier than I thought it’d be! This broth is so delicious and makes a great base for seafood stews, chowders and soups. 2 pounds Seafood “leftovers” (bones, shells, skin and heads) 2 large Onions; quartered 2 heads of Garlic; smashed 2 Bay […]
This was the first time I’d ever made spatchcock chicken. Now I’m wondering why I’d never tried it before! It cooks up way quicker and because all of the skin had better air circulation, it was amazingly crispy. No soggy bottoms here! The compound butter under the skin ensured that the breast meat was mouthwateringlyContinue […]
I had some requests for my Garlic Rosemary Mashed Carrots recipe that I made as a side for the Herb Rubbed Pork Loin. I had some carrots that were starting to sprout roots in my crisper drawer so they needed to be used up. 3 lbs Carrots; peeled and chopped 1 large Onion; chopped 3 […]
What to do with leftover lasagna? Scoop it into a pepper and top with fresh mozzarella slices, of course! It was really delicious. The Bell Peppers made for an amazing vessel for this Leftover Remake! Sweet and slightly crisp; it’s a family favorite! Lasagna Stuffed Peppers • 3 slices of leftover Lasagna • 3 large […]
My brain’s all fuzzy. It took longer to type up this recipe than it did to make the soup. Sick or not, I have a weird thing about eating the same dinner two night’s in a row. This time I made Spicy Curried Parsnip and Cauliflower Soup. Take THAT sinuses! It’s simple, delicious and straight […]
