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 […]
The Sweet and Sour Salmon came out so good! I’m for sure making it again. I think next time I’ll use Pineapple juice instead of Orange juice! Served with Air Fried Zucchini Crab Rangoons and Loaded Veggie Fried Rice! I was kinda craving Chinese food. I made a larger than needed batch of Sweet andContinue […]
So much cheesy goodness! Sausage Egg and Bacon Breakfast Melts, one for dinner tonight and the other for breakfast tomorrow. Honestly, I could only finish half of the sandwich. They were 5” tall before I squished them with another pan! I also made some Cheesy Pepper Hash Browns to go with it. 4 thick slicesContinue […]
Finally! The BBQ bacon sliders! I was going to make them yesterday, but got home from work around midnight and was too exhausted to eat. So today’s the day! I only needed 1 pound of bacon, so naturally I baked 5 pounds. Because…bacon. 2 lbs lean Ground Beef 1 extra large Egg ¼ cup Onion;Continue […]
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 […]
This is a St. Patrick’s Day staple! It’s hearty, quick and so easy! You can substitute collard greens or any other green leafy vegetable you like. I prefer cabbage and leeks because of their toothy texture once sautéed. 2 lbs Russet Potatoes; peeled and cubed ½ cup Onion; sliced 2 cloves Garlic; Sliced 2 cupsContinue […]
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 […]
Cinnamon, walnuts and chocolate with a cream cheese frosting drizzle? How can you go wrong! I grew up eating cinnamon rolls and the addition of chocolate and nuts is absolutely scrumptious. They’re rich, decadent and are a major hit with the whole family! As an added bonus, they freeze remarkably well. • 1 large DoughContinue […]
I had a couple cups of Butternut Squash Risotto leftover from last week’s school assignment and was looking for ways of using it up. Bam! Crispy Risotto Stuffed Chicken Breasts! It was a huge hit! 4 large Chicken Breasts 2 cups leftover Risotto ½ cup Broccoli; chopped ¼ cup Mayonnaise 1 Tablespoon Italian Herbs SaltContinue […]
French Onion Soup is one of those dishes that I didn’t like as a kid but I love it now. It sounded really good for dinner, but I also wanted chicken. French Onion Chicken Casserole, it is! You can make the caramelized onions in a crockpot or InstaPot if you don’t want to babysit themContinue […]
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 1Continue […]

The side dish from day 4 of my #pantrychallenge The Old Bay Onions Rings I made as a midnight snack last night and the side for the Baked Buffalo Drumsticks! I was concerned that the Sprite would make them too sweet, but I was so wrong. They were so stinking good! It fried up asContinue […]
This delicious bread isn’t just for gyros. It’s amazing dipped in soups or chilis! You can choose to proof the dough a second time, but I ran out of time before class started. Whoops! They still turned out marvelously delicious and fluffy. They cook up in about 2 minutes, so make sure not to walkContinue […]
