It’s my first time making General Tso’s Chicken! I did quite a bit of research to try and get it as authentic as possible and it came out great! Dry toasting the peppers and spices really brought out an amazing flavor. Made some Ginger Glazed Stir Fry and Fried Rice to go with it. Chicken: […]
Every once in a while a delicious Tuna Sub sounds so amazing! I’m not a huge fan of mayo forward tuna salad or the super sweet version with miracle whip and sweet relish. Lemon dill is much more my jam. Tuna Salad: 2 cans Tuna; drained ¼ cup Celery; chopped ¼ cup Onion; chopped ⅓ […]
Turkey Bacon Pesto Sandwiches are a great meal for hot days when you don’t want to crank up the oven! If you have avocados, they make a great addition to this sandwich. And some Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookies for dessert made for an amazing meal. 2 slices of Bread ¼ lb Smoked Turkey ¼ lbContinue […]
My baby brother wanted shrimp and I wanted pasta. I’ve seen Cajun Shrimp Pasta before and figured you can’t go wrong with cajun spices, smoked shrimp, pasta and a cream sauce. So, here’s my take. Naturally it has bacon and smoked paprika. Pasta: 16 oz. Fettuccine Pasta 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil — Shrimp: 2 lbsContinue […]
Simple 20 minute dinner tonight because today’s been crazy and my tank’s on empty. Pulled a jar of homemade pesto out of the freezer and it was fresh as the day I made it. 2 large Chicken Breasts; cubed Salt and Pepper to taste 16 ounces Ziti Pasta ½ cup Butter 1 small Onion; chopped […]
My go-to “I don’t want to cook” dinner. 4 simple ingredients: pasta, pesto, meatballs and parmesan cheese. I had a tomato I needed to use, so I chopped that up and tossed it in too. A simple chopped salad and homemade dinner rolls I had stashed in my freezer on the side. Making a big […]

I serve mine with Spicy Thai Peanut Noodles and Fried Plantains with a sweet chili sauce. Wings: 4 pounds Chicken Wings; tips removed ½ cup CornstarchContinue […]
By far, my favorite holiday tradition is making Chex Mix! I grew up with the original recipe off the Chex Box, but have strayed a little to suit my preferences. I’ve made it 100% Gluten Free. I use Glutino Gluten Free Bagel Chips and Snyder’s brand Gluten Free Mini Pretzels. The Smoked Paprika adds someContinue […]
I found some long lost tortillas in the freezer that were too stiff to make enchiladas with. So, I made chicken enchilada casserole instead! It also meant that I could use up the chile pork stock I saved from the last time I made enchiladas. Win win! Chicken Filling: 1 ½ lbs Boneless-skinless Chicken ThighsContinue […]
My husband and I go out every Saturday to a new local international market and pick a meal to make from ingredients we find there. This week we went to Philipe’s Market and decided on tamales! I’d only ever tried them once as a child and wasn’t a fan, but my husband loves them! I’mContinue […]

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.

Savory meatloaf sounded really good, so I went with it!

Meatloaf: 2 lbs lean Ground Beef 2 large Eggs ½ cup White Onion; chopped ½ cup Bell Pepper; choppedContinue […]
It’s bread week and for once I’m not behind! I’m not the best baker, but these came out pretty nice. I gave one to my neighbor and she loved it! The original recipe didn’t call for honey, but I love the hint of sweetness it gives the bread. • 750 grams Bread Flour • 495Continue […]
