Mini Cottage Pies

Finger Food? Why not? They hold together perfectly and you can eat them faster if you’re not using a knife and fork! To save some time, I’m just adding the link (below) to this yummy recipe!! The meat can be spiced up anyway you like it. (I actually used ground moose meat for this!) I […]

Fettuccine Alfredo with Bacon

This was amazing! I had some pepper bacon, diced it up and fried it with finely diced onions and finished with finely diced garlic at the end. At that point I started boiling the pasta in salted water. Added a small concentrated container of chicken stalk, heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Let boil and reduce. […]

Cheesy Potato Focaccias

These are fantastic and so easy to make… I just pan fried them in avocado oil, 4 minutes on each side. For the dipping sauce I used a package of Ranch Dressing, with half mayo, half sour cream until I got the consistency I wanted. Try it! You won’t be disappointed! Thank you Webspoon World […]

Chicken Piccata

This is really good, but adding 2 lemons (1/4 cup juice and rind and slices…) was way too much for this girl. Adjust to your own taste. Pound the chicken to one inch thick. Dry it well, season both sides with salt and pepper. Mix flour, garlic, salt and pepper… coat the chicken, shake off […]

Beef Stroganoff my way…

I seem to have a fair bit of stewing beef. The problem is, Greg isn’t a huge fan of stew, but he was a huge fan of this meal!! I seasoned the beef with salt and pepper then seared all sides. I put them in the instant pot with 2 cups of beef stock for […]

Creamy Chicken Pie with Puff Pastry

This was actually very good! I had left over cream sauce with mushrooms and onions… I also used dirty mashed potatoes as the bottom layer. For that, I boiled potatoes, mashed with cream, half round of Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs, pesto, garlic, salt and pepper. Cut 4 cups of chicken meat from a rotisserie […]

Naan Bread

This is from the Foodess on Instagram. After each one came out of the frying pan, I brushed it with garlic butter… it was very soft and pliable for dipping. Very good! 4 cups all-purpose flour 1 tbsp instant dry yeast 2 tsp kosher salt ½ tsp baking soda 1 tsp baking powder ¾ cup […]

Cream Sauce

This is the recipe I used, but next time I won’t add the cheese and bake it. It was tasty but turned out more like a casserole consistency! As well, I’ll add some bacon to the sauce and I used double the garlic in this recipe. Once the pasta is cooked, just add it to […]

Crusted Chicken Thighs

So good!! I still don’t think Greg knows he’s eating chicken thighs.. I’ve been disguising them the best I can. He doesn’t ask, I don’t tell. We are a chicken breast family, but thighs are REALLY juicy and if cooked right, they even better I think! This recipe is from Bobby Parrish from Flavcity.com! I […]

Beef Pasty & Balsamic Glaze

Very good and just the right size for 2… though it would have feed more should there have been salad and desert! We used a balsamic glaze (from Costco) and it gives a really great, semi sweet taste to go with just the simple salt and pepper for the seasonings. Stewing beef cut up small […]

White Chili

This was super quick and easy to make. I altered the recipe a bit from Taste of Home recipe (see below) by using rositerie chicken purchased the day before. I always come home and take the meat off and refrigerate for a quick dish the next day and here it is! 1 pound boneless skinless […]
