My husband and I go out every Saturday to a new local international market and pick a meal to make from ingredients we find there. This week we went to Philipe’s Market and decided on tamales! I’d only ever tried them once as a child and wasn’t a fan, but my husband loves them! I’mContinue […]
I made this for years using expensive Chinese Chow Mein noodles. $4 for 6 oz seemed a bit steep. Especially because I make it every other week. I decided to use thin spaghetti one night and never looked back. $1 for 16 oz? Yes, please! So while it might not be 100% authentic, it isContinue […]
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 […]
Day 20 of my 8 week #PantryChallenge Tonight’s dinner is the most simplified version I could make of the only thing that my brain and stomach seem to agree on at the moment. Beefy Fritos Burritos! Except I didn’t have any Fritos…or Queso… So I cut some corn tortillas into strips and mixed some cheeseContinue […]
I wanted to do something a little different with the ground beef I had defrosted. Mongolian Beef & Noodles! It was really good with a little bit of kick. It also comes together really quickly, which is really awesome! 8 oz. Fettuccine or Linguini 2 lbs Ground Beef 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch 1 Tablespoon Hoisin SauceContinue […]
I love this as a party dish! Homemade Ricotta definitely works best and it gives you control over the moisture level. It’s so easy to make, it tastes way better and is cheaper than store-bought. Pizza dough; proofed ½ cup Marinara ½ cup Ricotta Cheese 2 cups Mozzarella 2 cups Cheddar; divided ½ pound PepperoniContinue […]
Unfortunately the elk was an old bull, so the meat was tough. I had to marinate it for 7 hours in a high acid mixture to break up the tough muscle fibers. It was so worth it and made for an excellent binder for the seasoning rub! I definitely should have thickened the sauce a […]
I was so excited when I found out that this week’s side dish in class was risotto. It’s hands down my favorite rice dish and it’s surprisingly easy to make! My chef instructor gave us a lot of rein to customize the dishes and I ran with it! I was shocked at how well itContinue […]
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! Chicken Wings: 4 lbs Chicken Wings; tips removed 1 teaspoon Ginger Powder 2 Tablespoons Smoked Paprika Salt andContinue […]
Leftovers make such amazing wraps! If you don’t have any Alice Spring’s Chicken leftovers hanging out in your fridge, you can make in in no time! They taste amazing cold or heated up in the microwave or on a griddle! 2 large Chicken Breasts; butterflied 1 small Onion; sliced 1 cup Mushrooms; sliced ½ cup […]
These were so good! We couldn’t decide on a sauce to serve it with, I chose gravy and Andrew chose BBQ sauce. Very tasty either way. Potatoes: 2 lbs Russet Potatoes; peeled and cubed 1 large Onion; chopped 2 Tablespoons Butter 4 oz Cream Cheese 2 cloves Garlic; minced 2 large Eggs ½ cup A/P […]
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 […]
This is my go-to fried rice recipe. Not only is it packed full of healthy vegetables, but it’s the closest I’ve been able to get to restaurant fried rice. It’s so incredibly versatile and goes with so many dishes. You can, of course, add whatever vegetables you love most! Fried rice is a blank canvas […]
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 […]
