I love cooking with my mom! Tonight was Salisbury steaks, steamed broccoli and Garlic Parmesan Bubble Bread. She made the creamy mashed potatoes and corn. She always makes the best mashed potatoes! This dish is incredible on winter night’s when it’s chilly outside. It’s a hearty, ‘stick to your ribs’ meal that kids and adultsContinue […]
I grew up eating Orange Chicken that was battered, fried and tossed in a Corn Syrup based sugary sweet sauce. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, but when I am craving something sweet, I want it naturally sweet with savory notes. The use of fresh squeezed orange juice, ginger, herbs and sesame balanceContinue […]
I made way too much Bacon Cheeseburger Soup last night. So I topped it with tater tots and more cheese. Voila, Bacon Burger Tater Tot Casserole. The leftovers freeze pretty well so I’ll have 5 or 6 meals ready to go. 3 pounds Ground Beef 1 cup Red Onion; chopped 1 cups Potato; peeledContinue […]
I made Asian Lettuce Wraps the other night and had some extra filling. I decided to make some little decorative puff pastry tartlets and they turned out brilliantly! So delicious and they make an amazing appetizer. You can decorate them with a lattice crust that’s absolutely adorable. Asian Chicken Tartlets 1 sheet Puff Pastry 2Continue […]
Pesto Salmon is one of my go to dinners! It’s so simple and so delicious! I normally smoke my salmon, but baking it is a great option as well. This time I served it with Brown Butter Pasta and Mushrooms braised in balsamic vinegar. Pesto is an amazingly versatile sauce. I’ve put it on darnContinue […]
This is my favorite dish to make after thanksgiving night or when I have leftover scalloped potatoes. It’s hearty and kids devour it! If you don’t have any leftover scalloped potatoes and don’t feel like making a batch from scratch, boxed scalloped potatoes are cheap, tasty and work great with this dish. 4 cups leftoverContinue […]
Making these at home is so much more gratifying and budget friendly, not to mention way more delicious than takeout. I lightly pan fry them and finish them in the Air Fryer. This reduces the calories and keeps all of the delicious crispness! Shrimp: 7 raw Jumbo Shrimp; peeled and deveined 1 teaspoon Old BayContinue […]

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 […]
This is by far my favorite recipe for meatloaf. I love meatloaf with ketchup, but what about BBQ Sauce? One word. Amazing! It’s a go to for Meatloaf Night. Cheap, quick and its a great way to hide the veggies that picky kids or *cough* younger brothers *cough* refuse to eat. When you have time,Continue […]
I love Italian Pasta Salad! Tangy, rich and mildly sweet. It’s great at get togethers, pot lucks or as an everyday side dish! So easy and so delicious! 8 oz Bow Tie Pasta ½ cup Red Onion; chopped ½ cup Bell Pepper; chopped ½ cup Black Olives; sliced ½ cup Tomatoes; diced ½ cup Celery,Continue […]
So, this is now a thing! I love it when a random recipe pops into my head. Huevos Rancheros…Pizza. I’ve made Beef Taco Pizzas before and Chicken Fajita Pizzas before, but this is a new one. It turned out brilliantly! 1 Flatbread Pizza Crust 10 oz. Chorizo Sausage 10 oz. Breakfast Sausage ⅓ cup Red […]
I’ve been furiously working on the cookbook and haven’t had the chance to do much cooking. Thank goodness for the freezer meals I prepped earlier!
