There are few dishes that are as comforting and hearty as chicken pot pie. This is my weeknight version. You can certainly make homemade crust, but store-bought works in a pinch and it’s a major hit with kids and adults alike! 1 Pie Crust 1 medium Egg; whisked 2 large Chicken Breasts; cubed 1 largeContinue […]

It was a huge hit! 4 large Chicken Breasts 2 cups leftover Risotto ½ cup Broccoli; chopped ¼ cup Mayonnaise 1 Tablespoon Italian Herbs SaltContinue […]
Andrew loves Mexican food, so I find myself making this quite a lot. It’s quick, tasty and inexpensive to make! You can top it with whatever toppings you like or you can serve everything over lettuce to make an awesome taco salad.

My husband and I go out every Saturday to a new local international market and pick a meal to make from ingredients we find there. This week we went to Philipe’s Market and decided on tamales! I’d only ever tried them once as a child and wasn’t a fan, but my husband loves them! I’mContinue […]

I was craving Sloppy Joes something fierce. I’m still *mostly* rocking the low-carb thing, so Sloppy Joe Stuffed Peppers it is! They turned out great! Definitely making these again! 2 large Bell Peppers; halved and cored 1 ½ cups Mozzarella Cheese; shredded — Sloppy Joe Mix: 1 lb Ground Beef ½ cup Tomatoes; chopped 1 […]
Yes, but have you ever made Scalloped Potatoes with Broccoli Cheddar Soup? SO delicious!! My baby brothers were in town and they eat out…a LOT. So I’m sending them home with something they can pop in the oven for 30 minutes. I saved one for tomorrow’s dinner, so that’ll make my day easier. 4-5 cups […]
9 times out of 10, I don’t even use salad dressing. With the right veggies and protein you can cut the calories without sacrificing any of the flavor. Chicken: 1 large Chicken Breast Garlic Powder, Salt and Pepper to taste Olive Oil — Salad: 4 slices of Italian Bread; cubed 1 medium Beet; peeled and […]
Another cold day calls for more soup. Bacon Broccoli Cheddar this time. I had some cream, broccoli and carrots that I needed to use up, so it was perfect. I made some homemade Garlic Bread to go with it. ¼ Cup Bacon Grease 1 small Onion; chopped ½ cup Celery; chopped 3 cloves Garlic; mincedContinue […]
This delicious bread isn’t just for gyros. It’s amazing dipped in soups or chilis! You can choose to proof the dough a second time, but I ran out of time before class started. Whoops! They still turned out marvelously delicious and fluffy. They cook up in about 2 minutes, so make sure not to walkContinue […]
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: 2Continue […]
Ground turkey was the only defrosted meat I had in my fridge and I didn’t want to make the same old thing. I had everything needed to make this hearty and delicious soup, plus it came together in under an hour. It makes quite a bit but don’t worry, it’s even tastier the next day!Continue […]
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 […]
Fresh pasta is such a treat and it’s a lot easier than you think. While a pasta machine might be convenient, the good ol’ rolling pin and pizza cutter work just fine. ¼ cup White Rice Flour ¼ cup Tapioca Flour ½ cup Potato Starch 1 cup Brown Rice Flour ½ cup Amaranth Flour 2Continue […]
