Never in my life would I have believed that a pork chop, pan fried and covered in gravy, would be a weight watchers meal! But here it is! It’s almost too good to be true. I personally didn’t calculate the points (it’s 7 per serving), but it almost makes me wonder if that is even … Continue reading
Mmm grilled pork chops…one of my all time favorite meals. Honestly, I think just a plain-jane hunk of pork on the grill is still delicious, even without marinades and glazes and what-not. However, those marinades and glazes can add LOTS of flavor and really seal in the juices to make the meat even more tantalizing. … Continue reading
Happy Cinco de Mayo, everyone! I honestly have no idea what this traditional Mexican holiday is celebrating. All I know is that us Americans love to eat Mexican food and drink tequila on the 5th day of the 5th month every year. Maybe the Mexicans do the same thing? Anyways, this is the latest (of … Continue reading
Everyone loves BBQ chicken, right? It’s definitely a classic meal at picnics and family gatherings. Most of the time, we enjoy our BBQ chicken from the grill. But this recipe involves cooking the chicken and sauce in a skillet. I gotta say, I still prefer the grilled version, but this is still delicious! It’s also … Continue reading

Let me be honest with you… I did not have high hopes for this meal. The reason for this doubt primarily rested on the corn flakes portion of the recipe. I’ve cooked chicken several times with corn flakes, and it’s NEVER turned out well. It was always so bland and got mushy in the oven. … Continue reading
I don’t know how you feel about cooking with a slow cooker. Many people LOVE it because of it’s convenience and ease. Plus it makes your house smell delicious. I, however, am not so wild about slow cookers. I typically only use mine for dips and soups because I’ve found that when I cook meats … Continue reading
Happy Super Bowl Weekend, everyone! Personally, I’m sold out for college football but don’t care too much for NFL. However, I’ll never turn down an opportunity to get together with friends, eat junk food, cheer loudly, and watch dudes in tight pants hit each other. So I love Super Bowl parties! This nacho casserole is … Continue reading
Have you ever heard of Romesco sauce before? I hadn’t until I found this recipe. I even googled it to see what it is. I totally thought it was an Italian food, but it turns out that Romesco sauce actually comes from Spain, and is primarily made up of a nut and red pepper base … Continue reading
I love shrimp, but seriously…who gets full from eating it? I mean, their name literally means small. It’s hardly a filling entree. BUT! This dish has all that figured out. Because if there’s one food that’s super filling, it’s pasta. So, we take the delicious, albeit unsubstantial, shrimp and pair it with filling, and also … Continue reading
About a week ago, I posted a recipe for some delicious Italian Pie. Well apparently, I’ve been in the mood for international food in pie form because this week, we’ve gone from Italy to Mexico! This dish is super simple to make. I know you’re probably looking at all that gooey cheese and mounds of … Continue reading
On this blog, I’ve posted quite a few recipes using dijon as a key ingredient. As someone who isn’t that fond of mustard, that’s kind of surprising to me. But here’s the thing…dijon is a surprisingly versatile ingredient, and though I’ve made lots of dishes with it, none of them taste similar, but all of … Continue reading
I’m gonna be honest…I don’t know a lot about Russian cuisine. In fact, my knowledge on the matter stretches no further than stroganoff, borscht, and vodka. In fact, I think borscht might actually be Ukrainian so there goes that. It’s interesting to me that Americans can be inundated by foods from around the world (especially Italy, Germany, … Continue reading
I want to start this post by saying thank you to my awesome husband! If you’ve been around my blog much, you may have noticed that pretty much all my pictures include the same plate set. They’re a blue and brown pattern that match our kitchen. I love those plates, but now that I have … Continue reading
