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! The pork was so tender! 2 lbs Pork Tenderloin; cubed 1 teaspoon Salt ½ teaspoon Pepper ½ teaspoon Onion Powder 1 teaspoon Lemongrass; finelyContinue […]
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 teaspoon […]
Hopping back on the Pantry Challenge for a hot minute. I have a bunch of ingredients I need to use up. Buffalo Wings sounded so good, but I didn’t have any on hand. I know Buffalo Cauliflower is a thing, though I’ve never tried it. Well, today’s the day! It was ridiculously good and it […]
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 […]
Leftovers make such amazing wraps! If you don’t have any Alice Spring’s Chicken leftovers hanging out in your fridge, you can make in in no time! They taste amazing cold or heated up in the microwave or on a griddle! 2 large Chicken Breasts; butterflied 1 small Onion; sliced 1 cup Mushrooms; sliced ½ cupContinue […]
This really hit the spot tonight! The addition of bacon was spot on and added a little smokiness to the filling (along with the smoked paprika). I’m going to be making these with Italian sausage next time and I’m really excited! 6 oz. Jumbo Shells (about 20 shells) 24 oz. Marinara Sauce 1 ½ cups […]
I love this dish! It’s easy to make, quick and packed with flavor. I originally made it with kielbasa that I rendered in the oven until crispy, but my husband was adamant that it would be way better with shrimp. Wouldn’t you know it, he was right! I had some leftover country style gravy thatContinue […]
Taco Monday, Hawaiian style! Chicken Huli Huli Tacos with Pineapple Pico de Gallo and Wasabi Mayo. I thought I’d made way too much Hawaiian Mac Salad, but it vanished. You can bake, grill or cook the chicken in a slow cooker if you don’t have a smoker, but I strongly recommend smoking it. 2 […]
I love Shrimp! I’m not a huge seafood fan, but shrimp is definitely something that I regularly indulge in. Grilled or smoked being my favorite cooking methods. This dish goes brilliantly with Cilantro Lime Rice or Grilled Veggies! 2 lbs raw Jumbo Shrimp — Marinade: 3 large Limes; juiced and zested 2 teaspoons Salt 1Continue […]
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 […]
Amidst the doom and gloom, there’s a glimmer of happiness! Look what finally arrived! In celebration, I made one of my favorite dishes from my new book. I didn’t have any fresh basil, so I used homemade Pesto instead. Served with Fondant Potatoes, Garlic Herb Flatbread and a light salad! Pretty sure if I ateContinue […]
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 […]
My local grocery store had a sale on Cauliflower and I got 9 lbs for $3. I didn’t really know what to do with it all but it’s overcast and dreary out, so perfect soup weather! I made a giant jar of pesto the other day and thought they’d go well together. It was delicious! […]
I made empanadas for the first time! They were really stinking good so I’m definitely going to have to make them again. I filled them with pork carnitas and Monterey Jack cheese. Next time I want to try a sweet version. Filling: 2 lb Pork Shoulder 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika ½ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper 1 […]
