Dinner

My friend Justin posted a ramen soup yesterday and I decided to make my version of that soup.  Salt and Pepper Tofu Ramen! Justin turned me on to white miso pasta a couple years ago, and it gives this broth such a rich flavor, that it only tastes as if the broth took two days to make.  Typically ramen broth requires pork bones to be...

I had the privilege of grilling at none other than Grillin with Dad’s house to make grilled buffalo chicken chili. It took my OG buffalo chicken chili to a whole new level!  Maciek even demonstrated how to spatchcock the chicken so it cooks in about 45 minutes.  We bought a Miller’s Amish chicken from Mariano’s – love that we shopped at our favorite grocery store...

I will never be vegan or vegetarian, but I don’t mind a meatless meal now and again.  Falafel are one of my favorite things to make. What kind of beans are in falafel? To me, it’s up to your personal preference, but chickpeas are usually the beans of choice when making falafel.  You can soak dry chickpeas, but I prefer canned chickpeas.  Just be sure...

I have no idea if this sesame chicken is authentic other than it has sesame seeds in it, but the sauce is money! My Dad used to love egg foo young growing up, and this sauce is a spicier version of that brown sauce.  It brought back a flood of memories. What is sambal oelek? Several people messaged me last night when I made this...

I thought I would do a quick round up of the Top 10 Chicken Recipes on my Website.   Some of the photos may not look the greatest, but I am slowly updating photography on older posts. Costco Chicken Bake Recipe This was created out of a request from a few followers, and truth be told, I’d never heard or tasted the Costco Chicken Bake.  This...

Yep!  Another delicata squash recipe!  Can’t Stop Won’t Stop.  😂. This stuffed delicata squash clicks all the boxes – easy, meaty and delicious! A few years ago I had a zucchini burger slider that went viral on all kinds of keto websites, IG pages, etc.  For some reason people thought my blog was keto/paleo, etc.  One woman even told me she loved me because now...

Black Bean Chili with Sweet Potatoes This black bean chili with sweet potatoes will be your go to chili recipe for Meatless Monday.  As of December 2024, the new Weight Watchers plan changed, so now this chili is ZERO points!  Better yet, I added one pound of 90/10 beef to this chili and its still ZERO POINTS!  Winning. How to make this vegan? Use sweet...

These chicken souvlaki pita sandwiches are my new favorite sandwich.  One reason is that after marinating the chicken, this comes together in less than 15 minutes! Is this a traditional chicken souvlaki?  I am not sure, all I know is that it’s delicious. The star of the show?  The pan fried lemon! Once cooked for about 2-3 minutes per side, the lemon rind becomes super...

Am I the only one that can never cook the right amount of pasta without having five cups leftover?  That’s how this goat cheese pasta with meatballs came about. I am the leftover queen!  A quick search in my fridge and I found an unopened goat cheese.  Then I pulled out the leftover pasta, some flour, and almond milk. One way I save on groceries...

I love all things buffalo! My timehop reminded me that I made these buffalo chicken bombs a year ago, but there was no recipe. Gah! So I recreated it this morning with leftover grilled chicken from our cooking class earlier this week.  Side note, you can also cook this buffalo chicken in the air fryer at 370 for 8-10 minutes. This is so simple and...
