These are so adorable, delicious and perfect for Valentine’s Day! Not to mention simple. You can use store bought jam, but I prefer homemade. You can substitute any berry jam and it’ll turn out great! The egg wash is critical as it makes the pastry extra crispy and adds a lovely sheen. This recipe yieldsContinue […]
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 cupsContinue […]
It’s been a rough day and this was so needed! Between the stresses of the holidays and daily life, this is a nice pick me up to help set you back on your feet. I only drink this cocoa on stressful days before Christmas. My only regret is that I didn’t have any cream toContinue […]
This was the first time I’d ever made spatchcock chicken. Now I’m wondering why I’d never tried it before! It cooks up way quicker and because all of the skin had better air circulation, it was amazingly crispy. No soggy bottoms here! The compound butter under the skin ensured that the breast meat was mouthwateringlyContinue […]
I’d never added tomato to my Sweet Onion Pie before and I’m so glad I did! My local store had a sale on Walla Walla onions and I couldn’t help myself from making this nostalgic treat. You can, of course, use any variety of sweet onion. I love using locally sourced produce and I’m soContinue […]
Beef Tips and Gravy sounded so good! I added some Marsala wine and WOW! It added so much depth to the dish! It got an A+ from the husband! Beef Tips: 2 lbs Chuck Roast; cubed ¼ cup Cornstarch 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder Salt and Pepper to Taste — Gravy: 1 Tablespoon Butter 1 largeContinue […]
These delicious little tacos really hit the spot! I normally double up my tortillas, but they held up brilliantly when frying and didn’t need any extra structural support. The marinade is key to perfectly tender elk meat, as this was an old bull and his meat was a bit on the tough side. Elk: 2Continue […]
This is my new favorite keto side dish! It’s ridiculously easy to make and so tasty! The crispy bits on the side were my favorite part. 2 cups Cauliflower Florets; chopped ½ cup Mayonnaise or Vegannaise 2 cloves Garlic; minced ¼ teaspoon Smoked Paprika Salt and Pepper to taste 2 ½ cups Cheddar Cheese; dividedContinue […]
I had some leftover pomme puree from class and thought it would make an amazing topping for cottage pie! I had some leftover honey cornbread and steamed broccoli from last night’s dinner. Easy weeknight dinner! Beef Filling: 2 lbs Ground Beef 1 cup Onion; diced ½ cup Carrots; diced 1 cup Mushrooms; minced 3 clovesContinue […]
It’s a bit nippy out so dinner tonight really hit the spot! Smoky Chili done Cincinnati style. It makes a great freezer meal, so I always make a ton of it and store it for those days where I don’t have time to cook. 1 ½ lbs Ground Beef 1 lb Italian Sausage 1 teaspoonContinue […]
Day 3 of my 8 week #PantryChallenge. Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo Bake with Garlic Bread. I wasn’t allowed to drink milk growing up, so I rarely have it in the fridge. Powdered milk to the rescue! I used the trimmings and tenderloins from the bone-in chicken breasts I used to make yesterday’s Chicken sandwiches. I […]
Look, it’s an egg roll! Today’s keto adventure: Keto Breakfast Roll! So many delicious veggies. I made a keto friendly sausage gravy to go with it. It comes out to about 5 carbs per serving. Heck to the yes! Gravy: ½ lb Breakfast Sausage 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch 1 cup Heavy Cream 1 cup Chicken BrothContinue […]
Day 36 of the #PantryChallenge I had a lot of the Curried Sweet Potato Soup I made last night left over so I repurposed it. Chicken & Vegetable Curry is what’s for dinner! I normally add cauliflower, sugar snap peas and zucchini but didn’t have any on hand. 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil 3 large SweetContinue […]
I’m kind of a brat when it comes to salsa. I grew up eating hole-in-the-wall restaurant style cantina salsa and all those premade grocery store shelf jars always tasted too sweet and processed. So now I just make my own. It goes great with my Carne Asada Tacos, tortilla chips and Green Chile Chicken Chimichangas! […]
