This is another one I pull out at least once a year, sometimes more. They are light yet abundantly flavorful and super easy to whip up on a warm summer day. These are truly one of our favorites. Slightly adapted from Chicken Gyro’s for Two 1/4 cup lemon juice 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 teaspoon […]
Hey Juliet…You might want to take note of this one! It’s got Coconut which I KNOW is your favorite! In case you haven’t come across Juliet’s blog it’s BEEsyMama. She makes AWESOME foods, of all kinds, some of which have been featured on my Fantastic Foods Friday and others I’ve personally re-created in my own […]
This was the last thing I made a few weeks ago when I found all those avocado’s on sale. I was skeptical but it totally rocked! The directions say to marinate the chicken for three minutes. I thought there’s No Way but I followed directions…well, actually I marinated for six minutes while Mr. Foodie was […]
I have to start this out by saying three things…the combination of chicken and pasta/marinara sauce is not a favorite of Mr. Foodies. He’ll eat it on occasion without complaint but it’s not something I can put in front of him on a regular basis so when he gave this two thumbs up I KNEW […]
This little recipe makes my rotation about once a month or so and is one of our favorite pantry meals when we don’t have enough leftovers at the end of the week to make a meal out of. It uses ingredients we always have on hand, it’s inexpensive, flavorful and filling. It’s also fast to […]
I pull this one out every once in a while when I don’t feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen. Or when we can’t get to the grill because this is happening… Our grill is in a covered area of our porch but when it’s raining small domestic animals and the wind […]
I never made it to the grocery store last Friday so I thought I’d take care of it Saturday morning. This is what it looked like from the minute I woke up until the time I went to bed… ALL. DAY. LONG. Matter of fact that picture was taken sometime between 3 and 4 in […]
Rachael Ray. Most people either love her or hate her. We happen to enjoy her. A lot. Yes, she’s a little weird but we like her weirdness. When she’s getting down to the nitty-gritty of some of her famous 30 Minute Meals she starts slinging and slopping food everywhere. We’ve seen things roll off the counter and once we watched […]
This is what happens when your husband has been out of town for weeks and no matter how far down you reduce a recipe, you still end up with tons of leftovers. When you’ve been suffering from a virus for weeks that reduces your appetite leaving you with even *more* leftovers. When you cooked a total flop earlier […]
What is a Back Pocket Recipe, you ask? It’s one of those recipes you keep in your back pocket for those days when you need a fast, filling and frugal pantry meal. And if you have kids this one would be totally kid friendly. I originally saw a photo of this on Pinterest and thought it looked […]
I love a Reuben. And his sister Rachel who’s made with Pastrami. They are both a little salty, a little sweet and a little tart. Hmm, they’re just like me. ;) But I had never heard of a Chicken Reuben before and was intrigued. I’m not even sure what I was looking for when I found the recipe […]
These became an instant favorite in our house the very first time I made them. Tender, juicy, perfectly cooked and completely and totally versatile. These are a Win, Win, Win, no matter what you do with them. This is one of those rare recipes that you can cook once but use in so many different ways. Eat […]
I’ve spent decades searching for this recipe. I’ve tried every combination of ingredients known to man. I’ve tried every cooking technique available to me. Nothing, and I mean nothing, came close to the Fajitas from Chili’s Restaurant. The perfectly steamed tortilla. The moist, flavorful meat with the perfect blend of spices served on a sizzling hot cast […]
A couple weeks ago when I made my version of Betty White’s Chicken Wings I meant to halve the marinade. I was going along just fine until I got to the water and before I realized it I had dumped the whole amount in. I wasn’t about to toss it so I went back and […]
These are fast becoming my favorite wing. I really love how sweet and sticky they are. And they’re perfect when we’re craving wings but don’t have any Marie’s Blue Cheese Dressing in the house…which is the ONLY dressing I use when eating Buffalo Wings. The first couple of times I made these I followed the recipe but […]
