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 reading “Jalapeno Cheddar Burgers”
A fun little twist on my normal Kung Pao Meatballs. Kung Pao Meatball Stuffed Zucchini! It’s a great way of getting your veggies and fiber in. If you don’t like heat, you can omit the Thai chiles or substitute them with sweet bell pepper for a little pop of color and crunch. Meatballs: 1 ½ lbsContinue reading “Kung Pao Meatball Stuffed Zucchini”
I had a lot of leftover Frijoles de Olla from class that needed to be used up, but I didn’t want to make soup with it because it’s a balmy 70°F here. Taco Pizza to the rescue! I refried some of the beans and added them as the “sauce”. It was a hit and IContinue reading “Ground Turkey Taco Pizza”
I found some long lost tortillas in the freezer that were too stiff to make enchiladas with. So, I made chicken enchilada casserole instead! It also meant that I could use up the chile pork stock I saved from the last time I made enchiladas. Win win! Chicken Filling: 1 ½ lbs Boneless-skinless Chicken ThighsContinue reading “Ancho Chicken Enchilada Casserole”

I wanted to make an Italian chicken dish that didn’t have much dairy in it. This really hit the spot! I made cinnamon candied carrots, sautéed mushrooms and green beans to go with it. I got a thumbs up for dinner! Chicken: 5 large Bone-In Skin-On Chicken Thighs 1 stick Butter; softened ⅔ teaspoon DriedContinue reading “Creamy Italian Chicken Thighs”
It was my first day of class yesterday and I ended the day with quite a bit carrot puree. I thought pork and mushroom ravioli would go great with it! I’ve never been a fan of fancy plating because it tends to look pretentious, but I thought I’d give it a go. Filling: 1 lbContinue reading “Pork & Mushroom Ravioli with Carrot Puree”
