A few years ago I was on a pinning spree looking for ideas related to boneless, skinless chicken thighs. I found an image on Pinterest called Chicken Loretta. I tried clicking on this recipe several times but the website never loaded, and the pin didn’t state the measurements for each ingredient. I wrote this recipe …
I love baked french toast and this is my favorite french toast recipe! Please note, if you forget to prepare this the night before don’t worry! If you let it sit in the fridge for 30-60 minutes the morning you make it you’ll still get that bread-pudding-like deliciousness. Looking for more breakfast ideas? Try my …
These chocolate chip pecan brownies are my take on Ina Garten’s Outrageous Brownies, but on a much smaller scale and with a bit of a twist! I used pecans instead of walnuts because (1) I had a bag in my kitchen, and (2) I prefer the taste of pecans. These brownies and a fresh cup …
One of my favorite ways to get the most mileage out of ground beef is to make a pot of this easy beef chili. This serves 4-6 heartily, but you can extend this out to 8-10 people with a pot of white rice and fix-ins like corn chips, shredded lettuce, salsa, and cheese. I recommend …
These are a little different than traditional morning glory muffins, as I chose to use craisins rather than raisins and apple juice instead of orange juice. I initially wrote this recipe because I had a jar of wheat germ that I didn’t want to throw away… in the end, I had an easy batch of …
For these mega chocolate chip cookies, use 2 cups of any variety of chocolate chips you desire. I split the 2 cups between dark and white chocolates since the base dough contains semisweet chocolate. To melt the chocolate for this recipe I used a small cereal bowl and melted the chocolate at 10-20 second intervals …
This is a wonderful meaty tomato sauce recipe to make on a chilly Sunday with football on in the background, but honestly, I enjoy it all year around. It makes the house smell amazing! When I prepare a batch of my easy weekend bolognese, I usually serve half of it, then freeze the other half. …
My kitchen runs chilly in the winter, so I had a pretty hard time proofing my dough for this no-knead bread. After about 2 hours nothing was happening, so I wound up using my toaster oven. After I toasted up some rolls for breakfast sandwiches I let the oven temperature come down so the plastic …
A stand mixer will make your life much easier when preparing the dough for these oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I use the paddle attachment up through incorporating the flour mixture, then switch to a dough hook when mixing in the oatmeal, chocolate chips, pecans, and coconut. You can certainly make this with a handheld mixer, …
I usually serve this easy roasted chicken with either white rice or egg noodles to absorb all that wonderful lemony sauce, along with a steam-in-a-bag frozen vegetable. For the wine, I used a sauvignon blanc, but a pinot grigio will work just as well. If you prefer not to cook with wine, you can always …
