Mexican Chili with Tomatillos
Chili season has rolled around once again and I wanted to put a little spin on this recipe. I already had gound pork thawed in the refrigerator so I used that for my meat but you could also use beef or turkey. I also had some tomatillos on hand so my mind went to Mexican! If you […]
Tahini Ground Beef and Vegetable Skillet
I seem to have a fondness for skillet meals. I’m not sure if it’s because they remind me of when I was growing up or whether it’s just the simplicity that appeals to me. Either way, I like the idea of seeing a meal come together in one pan! Speaking of one pan, I actually […]
Kimchi Pancakes
If you are not a fan of kimchi or don’t even know what it is for that matter, then you will either ignore this post or read on out of curiosity! Kimchi is a Korean fermented side dish made of fermented vegetables and spices. There are a wide variety of combinations. Most will include cabbage but after […]
Zucchini Fritters
Do you have a pile of zucchini staring at you that you’re not quite sure what to do with? Whether it’s from your garden, the farmer’s market or the grocery store (because it was inexpensive and you had all these great intentions)? Well here’s one solution…fritters! These are a perfect way to take advantage of the abundance of zucchini. They […]
Egg Roll in a Bowl
If you’ve ever eaten at a Chinese restaurant, then most likely you’ve had an egg roll. Those little appetizers deep fried in a pro-inflammatory, highly processed oil. So tasty at the time, but not so good for a healthy diet. This dish takes all those delicious asian flavors and transforms them into a tasty and healthy one skillet […]
Spicy Baked Salmon
Mexican flavors are not usually synonymous with salmon but trust me, the combination of these spices will add something special to your salmon dinner. Topped with guacamole or avocado slices and a squeeze of fresh lime juice…YUM!! Note: You may have extra seasoning based on personal spice preference and the amount of salmon used. If so, save it […]
Pork Sausage Sweet Potato Hash
I love a hearty and healthy hash! They’re filling, flavorful and extremely easy to adjust based on individual likes and what you might have in your fridge. I used a seasoned pork sausage I bought at the farmers market but feel free to use any form of ground meat you prefer. I also love topping my hash dishes […]
Beef Liver with Apples and Onions
Forgive me for loving liver so much! I know not everyone is a fan but my hope is that I will convert one person at a time. For this recipe, the apples add that touch of sweetness that some may need to break through that “I don’t like liver” mentality. And well, onions and […]
Shrimp Egg Roll in a Bowl
Today is Ash Wednesday so when I was deciding what to make for dinner the night before, I had pulled out a bag of frozen shrimp that I had stocked up on. I was originally thinking a shrimp jambalaya but was a little short on time. I also had a bag of broccoli slaw that needed to be used […]
Slow Cooker Lamb Stew
Stew is one of those comfort meals that makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I have very vivid memories of my Mom making it in a pressure cooker. For my version of stew, I used a lamb stew meat but you could just as well use beef. Also, I decided to add a browning step and I […]
