I love one pan meals! I don’t have a bunch of pans to babysit and clean up is a cinch. The salmon isn’t too sweet and has a nice pop of citrus. You can certainly swap out the vegetables, just make sure they are similarly sized so they cook evenly and don’t dry out. Potatoes: 2 […]

I had some interest in my Cheesy Broccoli Cauliflower Bake from yesterday. I normally make this dish with cream of mushroom soup, but I didn’t want to open a can and only use half of it. So I used mayo instead and it was amazing and really easy to make! This is enough for 2 […]

This week’s assignment is a doozy! Buttermilk biscuits, buttermilk pancakes and blueberry muffins. I knew that I wanted to make extra biscuits so I could make this dish! It’s one of my absolute favorites! Think chicken pot pie with buttery, flaky biscuits! So delicious! Chicken: 2 lbs Chicken Breast; cubed ½ cup Carrots; chopped ½Continue […]

I love this salad! It’s 100% keto friendly and so light and delicious. Fish is my favorite main course to serve with this side. That is when I’m not eating it as a light, filling snack. You can also make it vegan! Just replace the mayonnaise with vegannaise. 2 cups Cucumber; thinly sliced ½ cup […]

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 post […]

First dinner of 2020! This Stromboli is a personal favorite of mine. It has all my favorite toppings plus it makes my home smell like a pizzeria. Win-win! This is always a major hit with the kiddos and leftovers are almost unheard of. Pizza dough; proofed ½ cup Marinara Sauce ½ cup Mozzarella Cheese ½ […]

I made a Big Mac Burger…Log(?) for dinner, because why not! A Bûche de Big Mac, if you will! It was absolutely delicious despite it’s comical nature! Beef Filling: 2 lbs Lean Ground Beef 2 large Eggs ¼ cup Breadcrumbs ½ cup Dill Relish ½ cup Onion; chopped Salt and Pepper to taste 6 slicesContinue […]

I had some leftover corn, homemade black beans and Mexican rice from the other night, so I tossed them all together. Cooking it all in one skillet means less dishes to clean which is just fine by me. It would have been better with cream cheese, but all of mine is frozen. What’s a girlContinue […]

So today I decided to make something that I’ve always wondered about. Swedish Meatballs! I looked up numerous recipes and pulled from each what I thought would suit my preferences. It’s definitely not 100% authentic, but it was darn good! I was pleasantly surprised at how well the spices paired with the creamy, tangy sauceContinue […]

I’ve been interested in baking a Dutch Baby for years and never got around to making one. I thought it would be a lot harder than it was! The batter is so simple and comes together really easily! The custardy taste of the Dutch Baby went really with the Raspberry, Strawberry and Blueberry Compote! DutchContinue […]

This makes a whopping 16 large knots, so halving the recipe would be beneficial if you didn’t want that many. You can also freeze the dough before the first proof. Parmesan Herb Garlic Knots 4 cups All Purpose Flour 1 teaspoon White Sugar 2 ¼ teaspoon Active Dry Yeast 1 ½ teaspoon Salt 1 ½Continue […]

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 […]

It was my first day of class yesterday and I ended the day with quite a bit carrot puree. I thought pork and mushroom ravioli would go great with it! I’ve never been a fan of fancy plating because it tends to look pretentious, but I thought I’d give it a go.  Filling: 1 lbContinue […]

This is a recipe that’s been handed down to me from my mom and I LOVE it! The large chunks of tomato and onion add a delicious texture to the creaminess of the mashed avocado. It’s the best dip for homemade Tortilla Chips, Chimichangas, tacos and burritos! 3 large ripe Avocados 1 small Tomato; coredContinue […]
