These delicious little tacos really hit the spot! I normally double up my tortillas, but they held up brilliantly when frying and didn’t need any extra structural support. The marinade is key to perfectly tender elk meat, as this was an old bull and his meat was a bit on the tough side. Elk: 2Continue […]
I love bolognese sauce! I normally add different veggies to it to up the vitamins and fiber. Zucchini’s a favorite of mine, but I didn’t have any on hand. My grandma makes her sauce with black olives and it is so stinking good! • 1 lb Ground Turkey • ½ lb Italian Sausage • 1 […]
Andrew and I went to a German butcher last weekend and they had jalapeño cheddar burger patties that really intrigued us. They were $6.50 a burger, so I wanted to see if I could recreate them just a little cheaper. I made some everything bagel seasoning buns to go with them. They were really delicious!Continue […]
I have no idea how traditional it is, but it’s the closest to restaurant style Mexican rice I’ve come. It’s so simple and quick to make! If you can’t stand cilantro you can use parsley. 1 cup Medium Grain Rice 2 Tablespoons Butter 1 cup Chicken Broth 1 cup Cantina Style Salsa Squeeze of Lime […]
Another cold and dreary day calls for salmon, cream and pasta! I just made a fresh batch of chicken bone broth and it added amazing flavor to the simple cream sauce. Andrew gave me an A on this one!! Salmon: 3 lbs Salmon Filet 1 Tablespoon Seasoned Salt 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika 1 teaspoon Garlic […]
I don’t normally doctor up my broccoli and cauliflower. I grew up eating it steamed or raw with Ranch Dressing, but I was craving something creamy. Unfortunately I was out of milk so I had to “cheat”. A can of Cream of Mushroom Soup did the trick nicely and it’s a new favorite of mine! […]
Dinner tonight. More ribs! This time Sweet Heat Baked Ribs. Yes, BAKED! They were so tender! Served with Green Bean Casserole, Loaded Broccoli Baked Potatoes, Cornbread Bake and buttered rolls. ¼ cup Olive Oil 1 large clove Garlic; finely minced ½ teaspoon Onion Powder 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder 2 teaspoons Smoked Paprika ½ teaspoon RedContinue […]
We have another winner! I was afraid that the chicken was going to dry out because we had to put dinner on hold for a little over an hour, but I dropped the heat to 250°F, then bumped the temp to 425°F to crisp up the skin. This is how I normally make it withContinue […]
These were a huge hit last night! So easy and tasty. 😋 Even my veggie finicky baby brother polished off his plate! Yay! The rice, spring rolls and broccoli also vanished! Steaks: 2 lbs Sirloin Steak; cubed 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce 1 Tablespoon Green Curry Paste 2 cloves Garlic; Minced ½ teaspoon Black Pepper — […]
Dreary days call for Strawberry Lemonade (that may or may not have been spiked) and Lemon Almond cookies! I don’t usually bake, but for some reason my soul was craving cookies. I didn’t have enough strawberries to true strawberry lemonade, but I had some of my strawberry syrup in the fridge from breakfast a coupleContinue […]
This sauce is so versatile! It’s amazing in Steak Pizzaoila, Chicken Parmesan, Spaghetti or Baked Ziti! While it may not be a traditional Italian recipe, its still delicious! This is the quick version of my from scratch version that takes upwards of 5 hours to make and uses fresh Roma tomatoes. But weeknights can beContinue […]
This dish is so amazing on a winter’s day. Or a summer day when air fried or grilled if your home gets too hot to crank up the ol’ oven. The fresh flavors go so well with the lean chicken, there’s nothing quite like it. Warm, fresh and flavorful! It goes great with Scalloped Potatoes,Continue […]

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 […]
