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 1Continue […]
I was craving a McGriddle minus the $4.50 price tag. 80¢ is much more my tune! These little bad boys freeze really well, so I made a dozen. Pancakes: 1 ½ cups Flour 2 teaspoons Baking Powder 1 teaspoon Salt 2 teaspoon Sugar 1 ¼ cup whole Milk 1 large Egg 4 Tablespoons Butter 2Continue […]
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 […]
Still mourning Taco Bell’s Fiesta Taco Salad. I added some things that don’t normally come with it and I baked the chicken in my toaster oven so I wasn’t babysitting my griddle. You can air fry the tortilla bowl too. Or you can do what I did and give yourself a second degree burn. Chicken:Continue […]

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 […]
Southwest Egg Rolls are what’s for dinner! It’s a great way to use up any extra taco meat you have in the fridge. I made a lot so I can freeze some and pop them in my Air Fryer on busy days. Kids LOVE these just as much as adults do and they disappear fast!Continue […]
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. Chicken: 3 large Chicken Breasts 2 Tablespoons Ancho Chile Paste 2 cups ChickenContinue […]
I honestly thought that the BBQ chips would be the favorite (and they were still really delicious) but those Garlic Herb chips were gone in minutes! They were just as delicious as store bought chips and had WAY less calories! 2 large Russet Potatoes Spritz of Avocado Oil (or oil of choice) — Garlic HerbContinue […]
I’m relying a little more on quick and delicious meals and this one hit the spot! It came together in no time and the old bay brown butter gravy was so hearty and delicious! Shrimp: 1 lb Shrimp; Peeled & deveined 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder 1 teaspoon Thyme 1 teaspoonContinue […]
It’s bread week and for once I’m not behind! I’m not the best baker, but these came out pretty nice. I gave one to my neighbor and she loved it! The original recipe didn’t call for honey, but I love the hint of sweetness it gives the bread. • 750 grams Bread Flour • 495Continue […]
I’d never added tomato to my Sweet Onion Pie before and I’m so glad I did! My local store had a sale on Walla Walla onions and I couldn’t help myself from making this nostalgic treat. You can, of course, use any variety of sweet onion. I love using locally sourced produce and I’m soContinue […]
I’m home and mostly healed from my 13 hours of dental surgery! I really wanted something easy to make and easy to eat. I’m still doing the low carb thing, so Zucchini Lasagna it is! I didn’t even miss the pasta…as much as I thought I would. *cough* make your lasagnas with cheddar *cough* 1Continue […]
What a week! I love pork chops and this recipe doesn’t disappoint! It’s great on the grill or smoker too! Served with Green Bean & Corn Casserole, Brown Sugar Bourbon Baked Beans, Mashed Red Potatoes with Country Gravy and a warm Sourdough loaf. 3 lbs Pork Chops 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil 1 large clove Garlic; […]
