Crab Cakes: ½ lb Crab Meat 1 large Egg ½ cup Bell Pepper; minced ½ cup Onion; minced ½ cup Zucchini; minced ½ cup Breadcrumbs 1 Tablespoon Fresh Dill; choppedContinue […]
Truth be told, the only time I’d ever tried minestrone soup was from a can. It was so gross that I never had any interest in having it again. It’s soup week at school and low and behold, Minestrone is on the menu. I now have a very different opinion! It was absolutely phenomenal! 2Continue […]
Gyros sounded really delicious! I wish I could have used just lamb, but it was ridiculously expensive. I wanted to try making pita bread and they turned out amazing and my house smells so delicious! Meat: 1 pound lean Ground Beef 1 pound Ground Lamb 2 cloves Garlic; grated 1 small Onion; grated 1 teaspoonContinue […]
Sometimes all you need is a big bowl of Italian pasta salad. It’s such an awesome way of using up the extra odds and ends in the kitchen. I had extra pasta, chicken and pepperoni that needed to be eaten so in they went! 4 ½ cups Pasta; cooked ½ cup Black Olives; sliced ½Continue […]
I love Panda Express’ Crab Rangoons and they’re so easy to make! Oddly enough, they don’t use crab or imitation crab in their original recipe. Feel free to add some though, it’s delicious! My local Panda Express offers 3 for $2.35. Buying the ingredients myself, I have enough to make 50 Rangoons for just shyContinue […]
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 […]
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 1 […]
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 […]
Making fried rice from leftover Chinese, Thai and Japanese dishes is one of my FAVORITE things to do and it’s why I always order too much. It works with so many different main dishes and is such a filling, inexpensive and quick way of clearing out the fridge. You can add any vegetables you may […]
I keep a stash of homemade burritos in the freezer for my husband to take to work if there aren’t any leftovers from the night before. I decided to pop one in the air fryer to make a chimichanga. So good! Pork Filling: 2 lb Pork Butt Roast 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika ½ teaspoon Ancho […]
Dinner tonight was Baked Ziti using the marinara I made the other day and I ate entirely too much of it. I know traditional baked ziti doesn’t usually have meat or veggies in it, but what can I say, I’m a meat eater! 16 oz. Penne Pasta 6 cups Marinara Sauce 1 lb Ground BeefContinue […]
Day 4 of my 8 week #pantrychallenge I really wanted Buffalo Wings, but the rules of the challenge and my wallet say no. I did have some chicken drumsticks in my freezer, though! They turned out crispy and delicious! Half Buffalo Drums, half BBQ. I also made some Onion Rings to go with them. IContinue […]
I made Caesar dressing for the first time and I’m never buying the bottled stuff ever again. It took a minute to make and it was so much fresher! After yesterday’s insanely rich Cajun Shrimp Pasta, I really needed something a bit lighter. This really hit the spot and it’s portable, so I can just […]
I love breakfast for dinner. Eggs, sausage and croissants are amazing at all hours of the day or night. It was a major hit for everyone! I’ve been extra exhausted lately so I used store-bought dough because making laminated dough is a pain and a half. 2 packages Croissant Dough or Puff Pastry 1 cupContinue […]
