This recipe was not only easy, but it got a standing ovation from C.J. It will definitely be something that appears on our weekly menu again. It would also be a great food for a friendly get together. Cheesy. Bacon-y. Crescent-y. Goodness. Ingredients 4 slices bacon, cut into 1/4-inch pieces 1 lb lean ground beef 1/4 cup… Continue reading Bacon Cheeseburger Calzones
My husband has an obsession with Chipotle. He eats there every week, sometimes multiple times a week. He never gets tired of it, and I don’t think that there is anything that could keep him from eating there. Trying to accommodate his addiction, I recreated the meal he gets every single time he visits the… Continue reading “Chipotle” Steak Bowls
I have made roast twice…I have eaten roast twice since leaving my parent’s home. The first time that I made roast was while C.J. and I were living in Stillwater in the most adorable apartment. This was before I started cooking a lot and it might have been one of the first few meals… Continue reading Apricot Roast
Let me start this post by saying that I have absolutely no idea why this dish is called “porcupines”…it is a dish of beef, rice, tomatoes, and cheese. No road kill in my kitchen! This meal is simple and delicious. It is as close to Tex-Mex or Mexican food that I can make for… Continue reading Porcupines in the Skillet
Growing up we ate goulash probably once every two weeks or so. My dad really enjoyed it, it was something that my mom could make a lot of (leftovers!), and it is super easy. This recipe is a tad bit different from the goulash I ate growing up, but the main ingredients are all… Continue reading Goulash
Fall weather brings out crockpot season. I suppose that for some people crockpot season is year round…but not in our house. I know that it is silly, but I feel lazy using a crockpot. I’m not saying that it is lazy…I just feel weird not “slaving away” over the stove to make a delicious meal… Continue reading Crockpot Ravioli
Sometimes you need a recipe on your menu that is tasty and easy to make. Egg roll wrappers are so versatile that you can fill them with pretty much anything that you want…so we tried bacon cheeseburger filling. I chose to bake our egg rolls instead of deep frying them for two reasons: 1. I… Continue reading Bacon Cheeseburger Eggrolls
C.J. is not a big fan of Mexican food….this is the main reason that I don’t have many Mexican food recipes on the blog. He does, however, like fajitas. This time around, I tried some new seasoning for the steak and made homemade flour tortillas. You can find the recipe for those, here. We also… Continue reading Steak Fajitas Recipe
This is more of a suggested combination of ingredients rather than a detailed recipe. Ingredients Steak of your choice, cooked and sliced into thin strips Chopped asparagus, cooked (recipe) Feta cheese Dried cranberries Green onions, chopped Lettuce of your choice Dressing (I prefer Aged Parmesan Peppercorn) Instructions Build salad using the ingredients. Enjoy.
C.J. and I love getting take out, but it can get expensive and the quality isn’t always consistent. This recipe is delicious. I served it with steamed rice. Not only is it better than take out, but it is not as expensive and is probably better for you as well. Ingredients 1 pound flank steak,… Continue reading Mongolian Beef Recipe
