Sweet and Spicy Honey Grilled Shrimp with Coconut Rice
K is a lover of pretty much all foods, so when he dubs one a favorite you know it has to be good. I don’t like shrimp, so we’ll make part of this with shrimp, and part with chicken, and it’s so good. Paired with the coconut rice and it’s perfection.
Crock Pot Carne Asada
K is a huge Mexian food fan, but finding recipes that meet his standard, and that are more authentic tasting (at least to him) is not the easiest thing ever. He’s talked about carne asada a lot, so I finally dug up a recipe, and he loves it! It definitely has a kick to it, […]
Teriyaki Chicken
Teriyaki chicken is a work lunch favorite of mine, as it’s so fast to make, and reheats great, as well as fills me up for the rest of my shift. We’ve tried so many different recipes for it, some being amazing, some being huge disappointments, so here’s one that falls in the amazing category.
Brazilian Burrito Bowls
Our goal has been to try to have 3-4 vegetarian meals a month, which we started in March, and so far it’s been a huge success! In the past I’d always hated going meat-less for any meal, as I’d find myself pretty much convinced I was starving and not going to make it until morning […]
Creamy Parmesan Orecchiette with Butternut Squash and Broccoli
I love pasta, so, so, so much, but soo many pasta recipes taste the same, and that gets old fast. The butternut squash and broccoli compliment the pasta so well, and this whole recipe just comes together perfectly. I like a bit of a kick in my food, so you can add red pepper flakes […]
Shepherd’s Pie
Shepherd’s Pie is a classic, a recipe that it seems everyone had growing up. Most recipes I’ve found don’t have many spices, broth, or anything to help add some flavor, but this one does! If you’re like K you can top yours with capers (weird, I know, but he loves it). Next time we make […]
Creamy Chicken Alfredo Pasta Bake
The last time we had this Chicken Alfredo Pasta Bake was about 3 years ago. I have no idea why it took us so long to make it again, but we finally did and it’s amazing. We both remembered loving it, but didn’t remember just how good it is! So, pretty much, this recipe is amazing, […]
Sweet and Sour Pork
We’re learning how to make our favorite Chinese food dishes at home, or at least trying to, so when we have a craving for it we can have a, hopefully, healthier version. This sweet and sour pork is delicious. I’m a bit a fruit snood, so we always use fresh pineapple, but you can use […]
