Happy Chinese New Year! In honor of that I decided to make sweet and sour chicken tonight for dinner. Normally this meal is probably not that good for you because it’s breaded, but I didn’t bread ours. The recipe I was following actually called for it to be breaded but I didn’t want to [...]

My mom for some reason got a free magazine in the mail called Cuisine at Home, and it had this recipe in it. Chris fell in love with the picture, so of course he requested me to make it. It turned out really well. It wasn’t as good as a cream pie [...]

I’m so proud of this little recipe, it’s one of the first ones I ever created my self! I’m sure somewhere out there, there is a similar one but this one I thought of my own! Anyways, typically we buy pork baby back ribs, but for some reason at Acme, on Friday mornings, all their [...]

This is SO good! It’s not a quick easy meal to make for breakfast but it’s well worth the wait! It’s basically an upside down apple pancake! It’s pretty big, when I make it I cut it into two and have one side for leftovers! You can use any type of apple you [...]

1 teaspoon of garlic
1 teaspoon of butter
Directions:
1) Cut [...]

This a great meal for a cold week night. It’s very easy to put together and doesn’t take long to make, about a half hour! This particular recipe makes 5 servings. It also is good to freeze and use later. It’s actually pretty healthy for you as well.

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 of an [...]

I got this recipe off of one of my favorite blogs Smitten Kitchen. This recipe is a little involved but not that bad at all! Plus I got to use my brand NEW Cuisinart stand mixer. The only thing with this recipe is that I didn’t make my own crust, because Chris was making ribs [...]
Crab Rangoon

We had some leftover won ton wrappers from when I made won ton soup the other day, so I decided for football Sunday to make a batch of crab rangoons since we had all the ingredients sitting in the fridge. Ideally, it’s best to make these in a deep fryer but if you don’t have [...]
