I wanted to make Chicken Parm for dinner, but cheese is off the menu for a little while. So I dub these Italian Chicken Sandwiches! They were really, really delicious and since they’re baked instead of fried, they’re better for my waistline! Chicken: 4 Chicken Breasts; pounded to 1” thickness 2 large Eggs; whisked 2Continue […]

It’s been years since I’ve done Greek Night so I made Smothered Greek Pork Chops with Tomato Feta Smashed Potatoes for dinner! The herbs are so yummy with the hot, creamy Feta and the juicy pork! I’ve been meaning to make smashed potatoes for a while now and I have no idea why it’s takenContinue […]

I wanted to do something a little different with the ground beef I had defrosted. Mongolian Beef & Noodles! It was really good with a little bit of kick. It also comes together really quickly, which is really awesome! 8 oz. Fettuccine or Linguini 2 lbs Ground Beef 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch 1 Tablespoon Hoisin SauceContinue […]

I made a Full English Fry Up for the first time! Couldn’t find Black Pudding anywhere so I substituted fried Andouille. The BBQ Bourbon Baked Beans definitely stole the show! I added in mustard powder and fresh Thyme and they are leagues better than any of those canned beans! I added some toast and AppleContinue […]

Day 7 of my 8 week #PantryChallenge No eating out, no take-out and no new groceries. Another part of this challenge is to stop food waste in my kitchen. I was supposed to make Baked Bean Burgers today, but had some chicken breasts, cauliflower and leftover Sprite Batter in my fridge that I needed toContinue […]

So I made Strawberry Banana Pancakes, Baked Bacon, Maple Pepper Hash Browns, Herbed Scrambled Eggs and Sautéed Mushrooms. 1 ½ cup Flour 3 teaspoon Baking Powder 1 teaspoon Salt 2 teaspoons White Sugar ½ cup Strawberries; mashed 2 drops Red FoodContinue […]

I love these flaky little tarts! They’re sweet, tangy, buttery and so delicious! My amazing mother manage to find me a huge bag of flour as well as a GIANT 25 pound bag of rice, so expect some hardcore cooking and baking! I’ll include the recipe for the laminated puff pastry shell in another postContinue […]

It’s a bit dreary today and tomato soup sounded so good! I had some fry bread leftover from yesterday’s Fry Bread Tacos and they absolutely amazing dipped in the soup. You can easily replace any of the herbs that you don’t like with more of the other herbs, just be careful with thyme. A little goes […]

I love how easy and versatile fried rice is! Curry sounded delightful so I thought I’d toss the spices in some chicken fried rice. It was a hit!  Chicken:  1 large Chicken Breast; cubed 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder 1 teaspoon Curry Powder ½ teaspoon Smoked Paprika 1 teaspoon Turmeric Powder Salt and Pepper to tasteContinue […]

I haven’t made chicken and biscuits since I was quite a bit younger, but it sounded like a treat today! Switched it up and made garlic cheddar biscuits. I had to cook it a little differently than I normally would because the chicken was frozen, but it came out the same in the end.  Chicken:Continue […]

Simple dinner before work! I normally sear the pork before roasting, but didn’t have enough time. I was so happy that the fat rendered perfectly! Served with Garlic Rosemary Mashed Carrots and a Mixed Green Salad. 3 pound Pork Half Loin 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil 2 Tablespoons Italian Herbs 2 teaspoons Salt 1 teaspoon BlackContinue […]

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 […]

First time making and trying flautas! I was forced to eat frozen taquitos when I was younger and haven’t been interested in rolled tacos since. But I had some rotisserie chicken I needed to use up and I saw a post on instagram that looked so delicious!  15 uncooked Flour Tortillas 4 cups Rotisserie ChickenContinue […]

I found some ravioli in the bottom of my freezer and thought I’d give fried Ravioli a go. I made a Pesto Alfredo to go with them and it ended up being a match made in heaven! You can use frozen or fresh ravioli and it works great! Ravioli: 1 lb Frozen Ravioli; defrosted 1Continue […]
