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 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 LOVE chicken egg rolls! They’re amazing with tangy sweet and sour sauce! They’re much cheaper and tastier if you make them at home. Plus, they’re really not that hard to make and you know exactly what’s in them. No 10 syllable preservatives here! Shrimp and chicken are my personal favorites, but you can addContinue […]
I love Taco Pizza! You can substitute the refried beans for enchilada sauce, but I prefer the creaminess of the beans. It’s by far one of my favorite pizzas! Preheating the pizza stone is key for a crispy crust that’s fluffy on the inside. Be sure to sprinkle corn meal to keep it from stickingContinue […]
I made quesadillas for lunch and they were so quick to make! I wasn’t happy with the tortillas I made last night so I made a second batch. So much better! Of course, you can use store-bought tortillas but I highly recommend making them from scratch at least once! Ancho Chicken: 3 large Chicken ThighsContinue […]
Homemade Ricotta Cheese is so simple and requires cheap, kitchen staples. It is cheaper, more flavorful and so much fun to make! You can also add in herbs, spices and seasonings to amp up the flavor. Pesto is a favorite of mine, for sure! ½ gallon Whole Milk 1 cup Heavy Cream ⅓ cup AppleContinue […]
Pan Seared Smoked Paprika Chicken, Garlic Herb Mashed Potatoes, Steamed Carrots Mushrooms and Peas and Gluten Free Biscuits is what’s for lunch and dinner. I can’t believe I left the gravy on the stove. I was so hungry that I didn’t even bother taking it out of the skillet. Pan Seared Smoked Paprika Chicken 2Continue […]
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 […]
Something I’ve been wanting to make for years now: the Cubano or Cuban Midnight Sandwich! I don’t know why I waited so long! It was delicious on its own or dipped in last night’s Potato and Bacon Ends Chowder. Try as I might, I couldn’t find a grill press or cuban rolls so I hadContinue […]
Day 23 of my 8 week #PantryChallenge Switched things up a bit. I noticed a significant difference in my energy level, attitude and weight over the last month. While I had frozen vegetables on hand as well as cabbage, beets, carrots, etc. my body craved fresh, crisp greens. It just goes to show just howContinue […]
Day 32 of my #PantryChallenge Still feeling pretty crummy, so dinner isn’t pretty but it’s quick and tasty. I needed to use up the rest of the chicken thighs from the other night and I was craving vitamin C. Turned out pretty darn tasty for winging it! Served with Creamy Zucchini & Sweet Potato Orzo.Continue […]
The husband requested a pasta dish for dinner and Chicken Parm with spaghetti sounded perfect! It’s a great weeknight meal, but the deep fried nature of the dish can be a bit unhealthy. We wanted a lighter option for dinners and this delivered! 3 large Chicken Breasts 2 cups Flour 2 cups Panko Breadcrumbs 1Continue […]
These Angus burgers topped with French fried carrots and onions, pickles, lettuce, tomato and BBQ Aioli are amazing! The textures of the shoestring vegetables and the sweet tang of the bbq aioli compliment the beef so well. Angus Beef Patties: 2 pounds Ground Angus Beef 1 large Egg Salt and Pepper 1 Tablespoon Olive OilContinue […]
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. 30Continue […]
