Day 12 of my 8 week #PantryChallenge My family never seems to eat the wings off of our Thanksgiving turkey. I’m totally ok with that! It means I can make these bad boys! Buffalo Turkey Wings or Giganticus Buffaloicus Wingicus. It’s Latin, I swear! I air fry them, and since they are already cooked throughContinue […]
I tried curry for the first time when I was 25 years old (a little late, I know) and now it’s one of those meals that I make a couple of times a month! Curries are a great way to use up every type of vegetable you may have laying around. My personal favorites areContinue […]
I was really craving citrus, so I made Orange Mango Chicken with Cilantro Lime Rice. It was really light and fresh! I’m glad I had everything I needed in my fridge and pantry. 2 large Chicken Breasts; sliced 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil 1 large Mango; cubed 2 large Oranges; juiced and zested 1 Green Onion;Continue […]
Beef Stroganoff is what’s for dinner! I wanted to make the more traditional version which takes longer and is simmered in red wine. It was definitely worth the wait and the beef was tender enough to cut with a fork! 4 cups white rice or pasta; cooked — Beef: 2 lb London Broil; trimmed & […]
I finally felt well enough to eat again and my amazing mom dropped off all the ingredients to make Miso Soup! Gallons of Miso Soup. I made a simple Spicy Chicken Fried Rice to go with it. ½ cup Bonito Flakes 6 cups Water ½ cup Green Onions; chopped 7 oz firm Tofu; pressed andContinue […]
Yes to the 6 ingredient/30 minute dinners! The day started out drizzly, but the sun is finally out. It’s time for some grilling! Grilled Sausage & Pepper Zucchini Boats. 2 large Zucchini; halved and cored 4 Italian Sausage Links 1 medium Bell Pepper; sliced 1 medium White Onion; sliced 2 cloves Garlic; minced 2 […]
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 1Continue […]
It’s such a nice day out, perfect for huli huli chicken skewers! They’re sweet, saucy and tangy. They went really well with some fried rice and Hawaiian Mac salad! 3 cups Pineapple; cubed 3 cups Bell Pepper Chunks 2 cups Onion chunks 1 large Zucchini; sliced ½” thick 1 lb Mushrooms; halved — Chicken Marinade:Continue […]
I’d never added tomato to my Sweet Onion Pie before and I’m so glad I did! My local store had a sale on Walla Walla onions and I couldn’t help myself from making this nostalgic treat. You can, of course, use any variety of sweet onion. I love using locally sourced produce and I’m soContinue […]
Unfortunately corn is out of season right now, otherwise I would have used grilled corn instead of canned sweet corn but it still came out freaking amazing! I dipped tortilla chips in it and holy wow! It was so creamy and the sweetness of the corn with the spiciness of the chile peppers was delicious!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 […]
I had a weird craving for Hamburger Helper! It takes just as long to make as the boxed variety and it’s so much fresher! The veggies really make this dish and you can chop them up very finely if you have finicky kids. They’ll never know! 1 lb Ground Beef ½ cup Onion; finely choppedContinue […]
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 […]
