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 1Continue […]
Ever since I first tried Animal Sauce, I can’t have fries without them! It’s so much better than plain ol’ ketchup and mustard. I’ve been known to dip my burgers and chicken sandwiches in it as well. The mayo tempers the sweetness and the relish adds a vinegary tang. Add bacon and caramelized onions toContinue […]
Cheat day and Taco Tuesday! Smoky Rotel Chicken Tacos, creamy Refried Beans and Cantina Salsa Rice. I go whole hog on my cheat days. I made sure to make enough chicken for tomorrow’s Cinco de Mayo Enchiladas and some to munch on as a little late night snack. Chicken: 2 large Chicken Breasts 1 […]
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 […]
We’ve finally started protein in class and I’m so excited! This was hands down the juiciest chicken with the most amazing crispy skin. It’s so herbaceous with just the right amount to garlic. Chicken: 3-3 ½ lb whole Chicken 4 oz (1 stick) Butter; room temp 2 cloves Garlic; finely minced 2 Tablespoons Rosemary; choppedContinue […]
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 • 495 […]
This dish is so amazing on a winter’s day. Or a summer day when air fried or grilled if your home gets too hot to crank up the ol’ oven. The fresh flavors go so well with the lean chicken, there’s nothing quite like it. Warm, fresh and flavorful! It goes great with Scalloped Potatoes,Continue […]
Truth be told, the only time I’d ever tried minestrone soup was from a can. It was so gross that I never had any interest in having it again. It’s soup week at school and low and behold, Minestrone is on the menu. I now have a very different opinion! It was absolutely phenomenal! 2Continue […]
You’ll never buy chicken stock from the store again once you’ve tried this ridiculously simple and delicious chicken broth! It makes a great base for all those winter soups or to sip plain when you’re feeling under the weather. I usually set the slow cooker before I go to sleep and strain it when IContinue […]
I love plantains! I used to pan fry them, but my air fryer does the trick brilliantly with almost no oil! ❤️ I’d only ever had them with sea salt, garlic and Parmesan so I decided to switch it up a bit and make an interpretation of Maduros. They were pretty dang good! Air FryerContinue […]

I love this salad! It’s 100% keto friendly and so light and delicious. Fish is my favorite main course to serve with this side. That is when I’m not eating it as a light, filling snack. You can also make it vegan! Just replace the mayonnaise with vegannaise. 2 cups Cucumber; thinly sliced ½ cupContinue […]
I made Brown Sugar Spice Rubbed chicken for dinner with roasted root vegetables and it was amazing! I came up with this rub when I first started cooking and to this day in has never let me down. It’s sweet, smoky and so delicious! I’ve had a couple of people tell me that they neverContinue […]
This sauce also goes great on chicken, pork, game meat, beef, veggies and so much more! It’s so tangy and sweet! I also drizzle it over sushi. I make a lot of it and store it in my fridge for up to 2 months. 1 ½ cups Soy Sauce 2 cups Chicken Broth 1 TablespoonContinue […]
