Ok, so you know how when you’re in school, you wonder if you’ll ever need those math & algebra skills & you think, “probably not.” Well, you’re wrong! Or maybe it’s just simple logic or common sense. I could have used all of the above this evening when I was cooking dinner. I was so … More Challenge #3 Thai Pineapple Chicken Curry
So I saw these rolls on Pinterest & I had to try them. They looked so good & so easy. I tried them last night & I really liked them. I did some of them buffalo chicken style & some of them I used left over bacon cheeseburger filling from Jude’s party (that’s another post). Fixed … More Challenge #3 Buffalo Chicken Rolls
This week’s new recipe is Stuffed Meatballs with a side of strangeness. I used this recipe for the meatballs & took a little liberty, not measuring much. I also used ground turkey instead of ground beef or pork. They were so yummy! My youngest couldn’t get enough of them & my oldest liked taking the … More Challenge #3 Stuffed Meatballs & Wiggly Hotdog Monsters
OK, so I wasn’t real quick on the uptake this week. I knew that I wanted to make fajitas this week, but hadn’t found a recipe before I went shopping – I thought that I was bound to have whatever the recipe called for. When I finally went looking for recipes, it turns out I had … More Challenge #3 Beef Fajitas
Some things just go together & when it comes to meat…beef with horseradish sauce, lamb with mint sauce & of course, pork with apples. I’m all for branching out & trying new things, but they’re classics for a reason. Tonight I made Pork Chops with Golden Apple Sauce using a Rachel Ray recipe. It’s hard … More Challenge #3 Pork Chops with Golden Apple Sauce
My husband is from New Zealand. In all the corner shops & little bakeries, they sell all kinds of individual pie – there are meat pies, cheese pies, meat & cheese pies. They are so good! Obviously I can’t get them here in Bend, Oregon. My husband loves them, so I wanted to make him … More Challenge #3 New Zealand Meat Pie
I’m sure this is not new to most people, but I’ve never made it or even had it. A friend of mine posted a picture of monkey bread on Facebook a couple of months ago & I’ve been wanting to make it ever since then. I did a Google search for a recipe & of … More Challenge #3 Monkey Bread
I tried something a bit more adventurous this week. Took some extra prep time, but apart from using quite a few pots & pans for making dinner tonight, it was pretty simple. I used a lighter version of traditional Chicken Cordon Bleu & ended up lightening it even more. The recipe called for 5 teaspoons … More Challenge #3 Chicken Cordon Bleu
I love roasts done in the crock pot! I fix a roast every couple of weeks or so. My family loves it, it lasts long enough for left overs for a couple of other meals, it tastes so good! I like beef & pork. I usually just use Johnny’s Season salt to flavour & keep … More Challenge #3 Tangy Slower Cooker Pork Roast
I am not being super adventurous with my recipes at the moment since I can’t buy any new ingredients until April. I’m working with what I have & only buying fresh fruits & vegetables & even then nothing too exotic as I am trying to make my $20 stretch! Anyway, this recipe was originally meant … More Challenge # 3 Pork Loin with Fennel, Olives, and Sun Dried Tomatoes
