Lunch

My brother loves peanut butter and  I thought of him the whole time I made this spicy peanut noodles with shrimp.  If you were to ask my brother what his favorite food is, it wouldn’t be tacos or pizza.  It would be peanut butter!   Not sure he would eat it with the shrimp, or sugar snap peas for that matter, but hey, I thought about...

I love when I can make one dish and morph it into a few things later in the week, like these pork and mushroom wontons. I love wontons so much because the possibilities are endless.  Have some protein and veggies?  Wrap it up in a wonton.  I bought 1/2 a pound of ground pork from Mariano’s – if you stick to chicken or beef, please...

My friend Bobby from FlavCity has SO many recipes.  I got his keto cookbook last year and I made a few dishes right off the bat. But like most things in life, it got put to the side and I recently rediscovered it. I made his Spicy Beef Lettuce Cups – I followed his recipe exactly for the beef filling (sans onions!) and made a...

This delicious pork BBQ sandwich comes in at only 6 WW smart points - so delicious!

Hands down the best macaroni and cheese (other than my Mom’s growing up as a child) was a macaroni and cheese that was at an office potluck nearly 20 years ago. I took a small amount, but it on my plate, took one bite and went back and got a big scoop before it was all gone.   I asked “who made this recipe?!” The woman...

These KFC Chicken Nuggets will quickly make it to the top of your “must make” recipe list. One of my strongest food memories is visiting my grandparents in Warsaw, Virginia, then driving the what seemed like far distance to the “big town” of Tappahannock and getting Kentucky Fried Chicken.  I loved everything about it.  The crispy spicy chicken, the mashed potatoes and gravy and don’t...

The black bean burger recipe I posted on Friday?  Has morphed into so many things.  I made these southwest egg rolls that were so good.  No real recipe – I took 1 cup of the black bean burger mixture and combined it with a cup of chopped rotisserie chicken breast, a couple tablespoons of my salsa roja, and then air fried them for 4 minutes...

You will love these kung pao sloppy joes! Today is Day 1 of working from home.  I normally get up between 6:20 and 6:45.  Which means my alarm is set for 6:20 but I don’t actually get up until 6:45 after hitting snooze three times! Today I woke up at 7:45.  Jacob works from home so the coffee was already made.  The dogs snuggled with...

I made a batch of my friend Ed’s biscuits, and they have been on repeat all week.  I love a biscuit breakfast sammie! Yesterday was a bit different.  I had an 11 call with a potential new campaign, and what was supposed to be a 15 minute call turned into 45 minutes.  I had clocked out for lunch at 11 and was back at my...

Skip the middle aisle at the grocery store and find Marzetti Simply Dressed Salad Dressing in the produce section - it will make you call in love with salad again!
