I think I picked the wrong day to make Chicken Fajita Pizza. It’s a solid 100°F in my apartment right now. Totally worth it! This was a rehash of a recipe I started making years and years ago. It turned out brilliantly! 1 Pizza Dough Ball 1 large Chicken Breast; butterflied 1 Tablespoon Fajita Spice Blend 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil 1 cup Refried Beans 1 cup Mozzarella or Cotija Cheese 1 medium Tomato; cored and diced 2 small Bell Peppers; cored and sliced 1 small Red Onion; sliced ¼ cup Corn ¼ cup Cilantro; chopped ¼ cup Sour Cream 1 large Lime; juicedContinue […]

I had several people over various groups ask me for my recipe for Green Bean and Corn Casserole. You can substitute the homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup for the canned variety if are short on time. I kinda always thought that green bean casserole was missing a sweet element, so I tossed in a canContinue […]

Place the filet on a sheetContinue […]

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 […]

I had a small luncheon with some friends today and decided to make these super easy and delicious Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers to go with the Pesto Turkey Sub. I normally smoke them but I’m out of wood pellets. Darn! 6 large Jalapeños; halves and cored 1 package Cream Cheese 1 cup Cheddar Cheese 1Continue […]

I made crepes for the first time! I drizzled the top with some fresh sweet lemon curd and stuffed them with whipped cream and homemade blueberry jam. Definitely making them again! ⅔ cup Flour 1 cup Whole Milk 2 Eggs; room temp 1 Tablespoon Butter; melted Pinch of Salt Splash of Lemon Juice Splash ofContinue […]

I spent all day yesterday making food deliveries and the one spot they kept sending me to was Taco Bell. By the end of the night I really wanted a Taco Supreme, but there’s no way in heck I’m spending $2.50 on a single taco. 40¢ is much more up my alley! Texture is aContinue […]

And in this corner we have the Reuben! Another sandwich that I’v been wanting to try for years! Went a bit unconventional and added some pickled red onions for color and because I thought it’d compliment the Sauerkraut. I think the Reuben has a more balanced flavor. The slight sweetness from the Russian Dressing makesContinue […]

I made Mango Salsa Herb Pork Tenderloin for dinner! The fusion of Mexican and Italian is surprisingly amazing! It’s so simple to make and went really well with the Steamed Rice and Roasted Zucchini. Despite the reputation pork has for being a fatty protein, the tenderloin actually has less calories than chicken breast. Tenderloin: 3Continue […]

I had a bunch of requests for the bun recipe from my last night’s sliders. I’m definitely not a baker, but I really like how they turned out. You can use milk instead of powdered milk, I just never have any on hand.  1 ¼ cup Water; heated to 113°F 3 Tablespoons Powdered Milk 3Continue […]

I decided to go mad scientist and create Bloomin’ Onion Deviled Eggs! They were delicious and have a nice kick! Not gonna lie, the paprika kinda got away from me, but I didn’t mind because I love paprika. 1 dozen large Eggs; boiled and peeled — Topping: ½ cup Onions; thinly sliced and chopped ¼Continue […]

I love this dish! It has so many different spices that I don’t use everyday. It has a little kick, but it’s very subtle and the orange juice and pomegranates add some sweetness. Chicken: 2 lbs bone-in/skin-on Chicken Thighs 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil 1 teaspoon Turmeric ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder ½ teaspoon Onion Powder ½Continue […]

It’s always fun to try new things and broaden your culinary horizon! If you know me, you know that I’m as close to a carnivore as you can get. However, I scored an amazing deal at my local store on some vegan Italian Sausages and Bratwursts. After checking the ingredients list for anything unsavory, IContinue […]
