Last weekend we had a feast! My parents and my godparents were in town, and we made enough food to feed a small army! I made lamb kebabs (check out the recipe here), roasted broccoli, naan, rice, and then my key lime pie bars and oreo brownies (I have yet to post the recipe!). I ended up making gyros tonight because I had extra lamb, and the recipe I found on pinterest from food.com looked surprisingly easy! That and we picked up our adopted shiba inu Kenichi today!!!! Squeeee! So T and I wanted to spend as much time as possible with him, and I…

Continue ReadingI’ve made this recipe a few times, and while delicious and the top and bottom of the noodle nest are crispy, the noodles are never quiiiiiite crispy enough for me! That said, it’s still amazingly delicious! I’ll bet you need to quickly cook the noodles in water and then add them to the pan, but that’s too much effort for me when you can just add water to the pan you’re already cooking in. Or add more oil to the pan to fry them up, but I prefer to pretend I’m a healthy person. I wouldn’t call this a one-pan…

Here is my classic turkey burger recipe, with a little dijon thrown in for some flavor! I classify this recipe as a “simple” one since I have most of the ingredients around the house, and the ones I usually need to shop for include: ground turkey, gruyere, and scallions! Less than 5 ingredients, so I call simple. Just toss everything in a bowl, and make sure to mix together thoroughly, but only until just incorporated unless you want some tough burgers! I’ll let you in on my secret for well-cooked burgers when you’re making them on the stove! I like the…

Corn bread, and beef, and cheese, oh my! This is a great make-ahead meal! We had a game night with a friend coming over, and I was going to try to not actually be in the kitchen making dinner for like half of his visit (like I usually am most times when people visit for dinner). I do love our current place for the fact that it has an open layout, and I can actually be in the kitchen talking to other people in both the living room area and the dining room area, and the kicker–NOT in my kitchen. It’s the…

These Mediterranean pinwheels are a perfect, EASY appetizer. This is one of our go-to’s because T likes them, and I like them, and he’s less likely to eat half the cheese and salami before they go in the oven. Though maybe more likely to eat half of them coming out of the oven. Plus there’s the added benefit of a short grocery list. There are only 6 ingredients (I’d really say 5…if you don’t have olive oil, you’re doing the kitchen wrong), and all the steps are simple. It’s even better to get some help, especially if you’re making these…
