Another one pot meal! Baked Ricotta Chicken Primavera! So many delicious herbs and vegetables. My friend’s rave about this dish and even their kids will eat it. It is my favorite way of using up the excess summer squash and tomatoes that grown in my garden, especially if you make the marinara from scratch. You […]
This is such an awesome way to use up extra chicken! It’s tangy, sweet and packed with lean meat and delicious veggies! Kids go absolutely bonkers for it and there are never any leftovers. It’s also an amazing way to sneak in some healthy vegetables that the picky eaters in your life won’t touch. Pizza […]
Dinner tonight! Mushroom Smothered Chicken over zoodles and…coodles! Carrots and zucchini “pasta”. Guilt free dinners for the win! “Pasta”: 4 cups Zucchini; spiralized 1 cup Carrot; spiralized — Chicken: 4 large Chicken Breasts 1 Tablespoon Smoked Paprika 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder 1 Tablespoon Onion Salt 1 teaspoon Italian Herbs 1 teaspoon Black Pepper — Gravy:Continue […]
We have another winner! I was afraid that the chicken was going to dry out because we had to put dinner on hold for a little over an hour, but I dropped the heat to 250°F, then bumped the temp to 425°F to crisp up the skin. This is how I normally make it withContinue […]
Another cold day calls for more soup. Bacon Broccoli Cheddar this time. I had some cream, broccoli and carrots that I needed to use up, so it was perfect. I made some homemade Garlic Bread to go with it. ¼ Cup Bacon Grease 1 small Onion; chopped ½ cup Celery; chopped 3 cloves Garlic; minced […]
This is one of my all time favorite cornbread recipes! It’s an amazing combination of heat and sweet! Using canned Green Chiles doesn’t make it too spicy, so if you’d like to ramp up the heat try some diced jalapeños! I’ve found that using yellow corn meal creates a more cake like cornbread (my preference), […]
Andrew and I went to a German butcher last weekend and they had jalapeño cheddar burger patties that really intrigued us. They were $6.50 a burger, so I wanted to see if I could recreate them just a little cheaper. I made some everything bagel seasoning buns to go with them. They were really delicious! […]
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 cups […]
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 […]
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve made Vietnamese Spring Rolls or Gỏi Cuốn and Spicy Peanut Sauce. I normally make them with shrimp, but Chicken sounded amazing. I also had some of the sweet and sticky sauce leftover from last night so I made a small bowl of Ground Beef & Broccoli. Chicken: 2Continue […]
I love beef jerky! I can eat an entire bag in one sitting. I prefer to make it myself without all those preservatives and unpronounceable ingredients. Not to mention I have more control of the salt content. So delicious and easy! 5 lbs Beef 1 cup Soy Sauce 1 teaspoon Liquid Smoke ¼ cup WorcestershireContinue […]
I love cooking in Parchment paper! It really helps seal in moisture. Not only that, but it also makes it cook faster using the power of steam! I’ve been a bit under the weather so I wanted to make a dinner that was lighter, fresher and super quick for my vlog channel next week. 30 […]
I had such an amazing week with my family back in Oregon this week! My mom picked up some black cod and it was perfect for fish tacos, one of my dad’s favorite dishes. It came together so fast and went amazing with the homemade Mango Salsa, Creamy Chipotle Slaw and Mexican Rice. Crispy BlackenedContinue […]
I love one pan meals! I don’t have a bunch of pans to babysit and clean up is a cinch. The salmon isn’t too sweet and has a nice pop of citrus. You can certainly swap out the vegetables, just make sure they are similarly sized so they cook evenly and don’t dry out. Potatoes: 2Continue […]
