This soup is so delicious and it’s perfect for a winter day or if you’re feeling under the weather. It takes under 20 minutes to come together and there’s no need to purchase fancy ingredients. 1 quart Chicken Broth 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce 1 extra large Egg 1 teaspoon Water ¼ cup Green Onion; chopped […]
Day 6 of my 8 week #PantryChallenge I can’t be the only one who looks forward to Meatloaf Sandwiches the day after making meatloaf for dinner. Served with minced potato fritters and a homemade sweet horseradish sauce. Yeah, they’re just air fried tater-tots and Bloomin’ Onion Sauce… 2 – 1″ slices of Cranberry Sauce […]
Holy wow! The fry bread came out amazingly! Crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside! I was reluctant to experiment with fry bread using an air fryer instead of a deep fat fryer, but it turned out brilliantly! They made for some great Fry Bread Tacos! Air Fryer Fry Bread 1 […]
These pork chops are so simple, quick and delicious! If you don’t have an air fryer, grilling or baking also works great! For baking, preheat oven to 400°F and bake for 16-18 minutes. For grilling, preheat your grill to high and grill for 15 minutes. Served with a chopped salad, Cheesy Broccoli & Rice Casserole, […]
Andrew and I went to an eastern European market on Saturday and I’ve finally gotten around to making a dish I’ve wanted to try for a decade. Borscht! It was deliciously earthy and complex! I made some beef and cabbage piroshki to go with it. ¼ cup Bacon Ends 2 large Beets; peeled and cubedContinue […]
This is a stellar appetizer for game day, holidays or get togethers. It’s savory, creamy and packed full of flavor! The cream cheese really adds to the texture and richness, but if you’re not a fan, goat cheese makes an amazing substitution. You can also add different minced vegetables with great results. My personal favorites […]
Honey Smoked Turkey with Pesto Mayo is such an amazing combination! Add fresh veggies to the equation and you’ve the makings of a filling, wholesome meal! If you don’t have a panini press you can use two cast iron skillets. The first one on the heat source and the second one helping to press the […]
Day 35 of the #PantryChallenge Hey look! It’s soup…again. Still can’t really do the whole solid food thing, so immersion blender to the rescue! I love pureed soups and I added a bit more peppers to try and help clear out my sinuses. It could have done with a splash of heavy cream, but I […]
Cooking for one everyday means I have a LOT of leftovers. This means I have to get a little creative on leftover night. This one box of spaghetti made 3 dishes. I was out of Ricotta, but Mozzarella was a nice substitute! 4 cups cooked Spaghetti 1 Tablespoon olive oil 1 ½ cups Bolognese Sauce […]
This sauce is so versatile! It’s amazing in Steak Pizzaoila, Chicken Parmesan, Spaghetti or Baked Ziti! While it may not be a traditional Italian recipe, its still delicious! This is the quick version of my from scratch version that takes upwards of 5 hours to make and uses fresh Roma tomatoes. But weeknights can beContinue […]
Day 34 of my #PantryChallenge Dinner tonight is Sweet & Sour Meatballs over farfalle pasta! I normally make my meatballs with a 70/30 pork to beef ratio, but didn’t have any ground beef defrosted. So pork it is! This recipe also works great with ground turkey. You can, of course, use bottled sweet and sourContinue […]
Day 11 of my 8 week #PantryChallenge No grocery shopping, no take-out and no deliveries. Man, this has been such a fun challenge! This is my favorite thing to do with Thanksgiving leftovers. The crust is so flaky and the gravy makes it deliciously decadent! 2 Puff Pastry Pie Shells 1 large Egg for egg […]
I’m home and mostly healed from my 13 hours of dental surgery! I really wanted something easy to make and easy to eat. I’m still doing the low carb thing, so Zucchini Lasagna it is! I didn’t even miss the pasta…as much as I thought I would. *cough* make your lasagnas with cheddar *cough* 1 […]
There are few dishes that are as comforting and hearty as chicken pot pie. This is my weeknight version. You can certainly make homemade crust, but store-bought works in a pinch and it’s a major hit with kids and adults alike! 1 Pie Crust 1 medium Egg; whisked 2 large Chicken Breasts; cubed 1 large […]
