We made these fajitas when we still only had one pot and one pan, and the movers still hadn’t come with the rest of our goods. I forgot to take pictures of the veggies cooking, but I’ll tell you about it. First, I cut up 2 onions and 2 green bell peppers, and sauteed them…
This is the last of the hotel-cooking posts, since we’re now staying in our house! I wanted to make some sort of breaded chicken, and usually I do that with flour and/or cornmeal seasoned with my own spices and herbs… but since I didn’t want to deal with a whole bag of flour in a…
This was back in Milton, not in the hotel room… though we have all of the ingredients and if we wanted to re-create it here, we certainly could! It’s pretty self-explanatory… the secret in its deliciousness is that I discovered a new way to make scrambled eggs. They’re fluffy and smooth and creamy … perfect…
I’d call this a halfway-ERROR. I liked the pasta with all of the ingredients except for the cubed steak… which in my opinion turned out tough and not delicious at all. The guy liked it though. We’re kind of motivated to not have to move all of our pantry things we took with us (which…
This was a VERY tasty dinner… also prepared in our humble hotel suite. we were lucky enough to have an oven in ours, but I’m sure this is adaptable to a stovetop or even a campfire if you’re looking for a camping recipe. Sprinkle both sides of pork cutlets with lemon pepper seasoning. Make a…
This was a simple dinner I threw together one night out of things we already had. I didn’t follow a recipe, but here’s how things came together. 2 bell peppers 1 box of “dirty” rice mix 2 Cajun sausages, taken out of their casings and browned (like ground beef) Chili powder, paprika, garlic, salt (to…
If there’s one thing that says “summer” to me, it might just be corn on the cob. When my family visited my grandmother in Michigan every summer, “Doo-Dah” would bring us corn on the cob for the requisite family cookout. My dozens of cousins and second cousins (well, close to dozens) and I sat in…
The first time I posted this recipe was back in September of ’07. Two things have happened since then: I figured out that I like this dish even better (if that was possible!) if I peel the tomatoes first, and I have gotten much, much better at food photography. So, here’s the same recipe, a…
Tomatoes are such a lovely fruit. I enjoy them so many ways… but I am insanely picky about them. I don’t like to eat the ooky seed/slime part, so I always de-seed my tomatoes before slicing them or cooking them. I am also kind of weird about the skin. It’s fine if I’m eating slices…
If you’re looking for a deliciously simple way to dress up a steak, a whole chicken, or any number of other things you might be cooking, this rub may just be the answer! Named “Ron’s Rub” after my dad, this is a yummy mixture of only four ingredients. Equal parts: black pepper kosher salt brown…
If you’ve done much reading on this blog, you know that I love to cook and eat delicious foods. Unfortunately, they’re not all the healthiest choices, so my husband and I have decided to make more of an effort to plan healthy, lower-fat, lower starch, higher fiber, more veggie-filled meals. I also made a list…
This recipe is so simple and quick, and will work perfectly no matter how many people you’re cooking for. I made it for just the two of us, but it would easily expand to serve a dinner party. Ingredients: 1 taco seasoning packet (this will be good for 2-4 servings) or in an ideal world,…
