I was scrolling through Instagram and found a delicious looking sesame ginger dish. Sign me up! I decided on honey instead of the more traditional sugar and didn’t regret it one bit! I wanted something with a bit more pizzazz, so I made some turmeric five-spice scented rice to go with it. Match made in […]

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 mayContinue […]

This is my favorite way to repurpose chicken soups, stews and chowders. The cornbread pairs nicely with the herbs, spices and cream in the soups. It’s an amazing winter meal on a cold day. You can use the boxed cornbread mix if you’d like. It works just as well. 1 quart leftover Chicken Soup orContinue […]

So much cheesy goodness! Sausage Egg and Bacon Breakfast Melts, one for dinner tonight and the other for breakfast tomorrow. Honestly, I could only finish half of the sandwich. They were 5” tall before I squished them with another pan! I also made some Cheesy Pepper Hash Browns to go with it. 4 thick slicesContinue […]

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 watched Fat Acid Heat and just HAD to try it! I altered Samin Nosrat’s recipe for Ligurian Focaccia and wowza! It’s now a staple and my go to flatbread! I don’t brine mine, however, but the taste is incredible anyways! Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside and the taste packs a punchContinue […]

This is such a quick, inexpensive and easy breakfast! Sausage, Egg and Cheese Muffins. It’s so simple and so delicious! Served with air fried Hash Browns and fresh fruit, it makes for a great start to any weekday. These freeze really well, so make a large batch, wrap them in foil and microwave, bake orContinue […]

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 […]

I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, but these are amazing! Puffed rice folded into soft caramel over a double chocolate brownie with a drizzle of milk chocolate and a sprinkle of sea salt over top. 1 cup Chocolate chunks 2 pounds Caramels 5 cups Puffed Rice Cereal 1 cup Milk Chocolate Chips pinchContinue […]

Decided to try and make sous-vide Satay Pork Skewers for dinner the other night. Shrimp Fried Rice and Vietnamese Spring Rolls on the side! It turned out to be so delicious!

I made Mango Salsa Herb Pork Tenderloin for dinner! The fusion of Mexican and Italian is surprisingly amazing! It’s so simple to make and went really well with the Steamed Rice and Roasted Zucchini. Despite the reputation pork has for being a fatty protein, the tenderloin actually has less calories than chicken breast. Tenderloin: 3Continue […]

I had a couple of chicken breasts that I needed to use up and this is always my go to recipe when I’m craving something sweet and healthy! I normally use ground chicken, turkey or beef but felt like this would be a nice change. It’s great to mix things up from time to time!Continue […]

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 […]
