Years ago, I always cooked my corned beef in the oven in a covered roaster. Then the slow cookers came about and I switched to that method. I was never satisfied with the outcome. Either the meat was a little tough or it fell apart…it was never “just right.” Then I bought an Instant Pot […]
I’ve tried lots of Lasagna in my day, but none can compare to this fanciful feast! No, it’s not authentic Italian style, but it’s bursting with flavor, has just the right amount of meat and marvelous,cheesy goodness. You’ll notice I have one herb called Savory that I listed as optional. It’s something I like but […]
While thumbing through a food magazine, I came across a recipe for Bang Bang Shrimp with Pasta. Sounded intriguing, but it was loaded with”heat” and very heavy doses of various spices. So, I checked out a few different recipes, combined a little of this and a little of that, and came up with my own […]
Some time ago, I was watching a cooking show and they featured this recipe. As I often do, I scribbled the recipe down and put it in my “recipes to try” folder. I finally got around to trying this and am I ever glad I did. First of all, when I got home and opened […]
By far, this is one of my favorite EASY recipes. No fancy cream sauce, no massive amounts of ingredients…just simple everyday items from your cupboard. I have found that brining my chicken breasts for 30 minutes to 1 hour before preparing the dish makes for tender and juicy chicken. This step is totally optional. If […]
Fried chicken using only 2 teaspoons of oil? Who “woulda thunk it” as they say! This recipe is specifically to be used with an air fryer. The chicken will be crispy, juicy and downright delicious. I like to serve mine with fried rice and a veggie or two. A special thanks to BiBi for sharing […]
When I was a teen, my stepmother made us some chicken and dumplings. Now, first I’ll tell you, my siblings and I were used to German style dishes…we never had anything like this, and being she was from the South, I figured this would be one of her specialties. Sadly, none of us cared for […]
If you’re looking for a meatless meal that’s quick and easy to prepare, and is darn right delicious, look no further! This hearty sandwich is served “open faced”, but if you like a full sandwich, just toast another slice of bread and top it off! I generally use albacore tuna, but regular tuna works just […]
If you like lip smacking good chicken, you’ve got to give this recipe a try. Normally I would not eat an anchovy, but through the years I have found that this hairy little fish packs a punch when blended with other ingredients. I have made this dish several times. The first time I didn’t have […]
Picadillo, a dish found in central Mexico, is traditionally served on flour tortillas. This dish reminds me of tacos with potatoes. But, it’s much more versatile, as you can make a dough and use this meat mixture as an Empanada. In addition, if you should have any leftovers, you can make breakfast burritos in the […]
