Eat your heart you, Rachel Ray. Here’s an easy “30 Minute Meal” if I’ve ever seen one. This sort of reminds me of shrimp scampi, but with chicken… and no wine… and rice instead of pasta. Whatever, close enough. Parsley isn’t generally one of those fresh spices you buy, but I think you should give it a shot. It’s mild but lovely!
A single gal buying a big Boston Butt may sound a little weird, but you don’t have to cook for an army to buy a big cut of meat. This roast gave me about 5-6 portions, so between dinners and lunches, I didn’t need to freeze any leftovers. As you can see, at $1.47 per [...]
When I took my first bite of this dish in the kitchen, a group of guests in the living wondered if I was okay. I couldn’t hold back my “WOOO!” yelps after every bite. Unfortunately for them, this dish was not for sharing. Don’t be deceived by the unappealing visual. This beef was so packed with flavor [...]
I’ll be honest, when I made this meal I was in the middle of bad day. All I wanted was some comfort food… food I couldn’t really mess up… something that tasted familiar. It’s not a mind blowing meal, or super pretty, or is it the kind of meal you’d want to eat every day [...]
I literally had no idea what the end product was going to be on this. I started cooking and every 3 minutes I changed my mind till it started looking right. If you’ve been cooking for a decade or two, I’m sure you could agree that sometimes that’s just how it goes! It was surprisingly [...]
I’m not experienced in cod. In fact, I’ve got a lot to learn about fish in general, but here’s an attempt to make an Asian style fish that is not sauteed, which is usually how I make it. Cod is a nice whitefish with a creamy, buttery flavor and a great mild fish to experiment [...]
Ummm yeah, this was as good as it looks. This beast of an Asian dish was ridiculously easy to prepare, but does take a little vegetable-cutting time, FYI. Feel free to add any meat and any other veggie you want. Oh, and this makes about 2 servings. Go ahead and start making a few servings [...]
If you’ve never had paneer, a fresh, mild Indian cheese, you should definitely check it out. It’s solid enough not to melt quickly, but soft enough to give some great texture to a dish like this. Feel free to leave this out and add veggies or meat instead. Oh, by the way, the fresh cilantro [...]
This meal was ridiculous. The flavor was out of this world. It’s like beef stew on crack. It took quite a while to cook so if you’re in a hurry to get in and out of the kitchen, this is not the meal for you. However, perfect for sticking it in the oven before church [...]
If I remember correctly, after taking the first bite of this I proclaimed, “OH SNAP.” Thus concludes my introduction to this dish. Start with some chicken legs or whatever cut you want. I just got a killer deal on these. Rinse and dry the pieces. Also, go ahead and get your rice cookin’! Drop them [...]
So honestly, I didn’t know what to call this. I’m not going to claim that I’m an Indian food professional, and in fact, this dish was very much an experiment like everything I make. Nevertheless, it was REALLY good and tasted a lot like an Indian dish I had the week before at an authentic [...]
There is nothing extraordinary about this dish, but it was fast, savory, and incredibly tasty. Ya know what’s cool about limes? They kinda serve as a natural, healthy salt. I didn’t use any salt in this whole recipe and it was still amazing. Start by pouring some panko bread crumbs out on a plate. If [...]
So I really prefer to not use pre-made ingredients such as Ro*Tel, but I happened to be given one of these cans so I needed to find a way to use it. In the ingredients you’ll see that it’s mainly just chopped tomatoes and green chilies, so I didn’t feel like I was cheating too [...]
Hmm…so as I look in my fridge I see I have a piece of chicken, an apple, and like one egg left to my name. Ok, this should be interesting. My first thought was to combine the apple with bread to make a sweet and savory stuffing for the inside of the chicken, then breading [...]
So you may be thinking, “Ok, salmon, eggs and rice. Gross. She must not have any groceries!” Well, you’re right about one thing, I don’t have any more groceries, BUT I did put these things together for a reason….cause they’re awesome. Back in high school my Japanese friend and I used to eat something kinda [...]
When you think of rice and beans do you think of pasty, bland rice and gummy black beans? Well I do, which is why I wanted to make it myself and see if I could make it better. I don’t mean to brag, but that was seriously some of the best rice & beans I’ve [...]
I’m pretty stinkin’ excited to show you what I made for myself last night. Sometimes “healthy” can be relative, and this is not the kind of meal you should eat every day. However, it’s amazingly tasty, it will impress your in-laws without a lot of work, and is substantially less fattening than the nasty greasy [...]
