Texas Sweet and Spicy Pulled Pork/Chicken Starter
Today’s recipe isn’t much of a recipe, but I tried a new starter I found at H-E-B. We are really loving it and I’ve used it several times. My son got hooked on trying the sample in store. Curse you free samples lol. We did pulled chicken sandwiches, made enchiladas...
Slow Cooker Pineapple Coconut Spoon Cake
One pot desserts are a huge time saver now that summer is upon us. We really liked this one and ate it up quickly. Not all desserts need to be super pretty to taste good! Slow Cooker Pineapple Coconut Spoon Cake (Adapted from The Magical Slow Cooker) Printer...
Sausage Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole
I have to be honest and say that while this was a super easy make ahead breakfast it just didn’t wow me at all. It was just flat and didn’t have much flavor even after using a hot sausage. If you make it, be sure to add a lot more seasoning! Sausage Hashbrown...
Bj’s Brewery’s Parmesan Crusted Chicken
This meal was a HUGE hit in our house! The brine of the chicken makes all the difference so please do not skip that step. This is one of my favorite dishes at BJ’s Brewhouse and it really does taste just liken it! I’ll post the recipe for the potatoes Wednesday. Bj's...
Almond Amaretto Cupcakes
Happy birthday to me! I actually wanted to make these cupcakes for my birthday, but ended up making them in May for my husband’s birthday. Whatever it’s just another day when you’re older right, plus what’s his is mine lol. Anyway, these are really really good! You do...
Spicy Kung Pao Noodles
I love a quick weeknight meal. You can even make this ahead of time, because we all know Asian food is better as leftovers. I added some stir fried zucchini and used frozen popcorn chicken I fried up to complete the meal. Overall really tasty and comes together as a...
Caramelized Onion Dip
I love when we visit with my parents we get to try all sorts of new recipes together that we have had our eye on. This tasted like it was missing something and we couldn’t figure out what. A dash of Worchestshire sauce helped, but it needed something else. Caramelized...
Spaghetti Squash Au Gratin with Bacon
The weather has been so nice lately I had to take advantage of cooking all my bacon and onions outside so it doesn’t smell up my house like a diner for 2 days. I happened to like this dish. It’s a good carb substitute for the potatoes, you just have to like squash. I...
Sticky Chinese Pork Belly
I love pork belly! It’s one of my favorite foods and when done right it melts in your mouth! This recipe may seem like it takes a while, but trust me it’s worth the effort, plus you can use the broth for a pho which I’ll post soon! My neighbor who is actually Chinese...
Meatball Sub Casserole
Sometimes you just need a quick easy dinner with great flavor and not a lot of fuss. I loved playing around with this one. The mayonnaise is easy to swap out for ricotta, cottage cheese or sour cream, but I liked how the flavor tasted with the mayo. Meatball Sub...
10-Minute Beef Teriyaki Skillet
This is a spin on sloppy joe and it was a huge hit in our house. I really didn’t know what to serve it with so we ate it as a taco one night and then on a baked potato the next. It’s a great leftover option to switch it up a little. 10-Minute Beef Teriyaki Skillet...
Garlic Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes
Last week I shared a lamb chop recipe so I wanted to follow up with the creamy mashed potatoes I had served with it. Not having meat, well I used the leftovers for Asian night! That’s right, don’t toss out leftovers! I simply added some wasabi powder to it and served...
