Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream

I found this recipe on Lauren’s blog (who got the recipe from Cuisinart).  I truly don’t think that there is any better flavor combination than chocolate & peanut butter & this recipe combines them both is a creamy, frozen, tasty, dessert. Enjoy!!

Seared Ahi Tuna Taco with Avocado Salsa

I was searching online for another fish recipe and found this ahi taco recipe. We’re kind of picky about the fish recipes we try and i guess you can’t really go wrong with tacos, so this makes it an easy one to try. We both thought this was really good.

Chicken Chickpea Curry Bowls

Oh Rachael Ray, how I “heart” you. You make my weeknight dinners a quick, easy, & delicious treat for my husband. As much as we liked this dinner, I still can’t bring myself to use your term “MYOTO” (Make Your Own Take Out) for those of you not down with Rachael Ray. Anyway, this is [...]

Tinga Poblana with Chicken

I turned this into a crockpot meal. Really, all I did was let the chicken pieces go in the broth, onion, & garlic for a few hours, until it was shred’able.  Right before I took the chicken out, I browned the chorizo, onion, & garlic. I added it all back to the crockpot and let [...]

Smothered Pork Chops

Pork Chops always seem to get forgotten about in our freezer. I found this Tyler Florence recipe on Food Network’s site. This was a good way to put those pork chops to use. We served it with thin egg noodles and broccoli. To make cleanup a little easier, the only change I’d recommend is to [...]

Gordon Ramsay’s Sticky Baked Chicken

I saw Gordon Ramsay make this one day on Rachael Ray’s talk show. It was super easy and a fast weeknight dinner. The only thing I changed was to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken legs as I’m not such a huge fan of chicken legs. We served this with corn and had [...]

Japanese Beef & Scallion Rolls

I came across this recipe on MaryEllen’s blog who based her recipe on this recipe from Epicurious. These are slightly time consuming, but well worth the effort. We had these with some jasmine rice and little shrimp shumai. We dipped these in a Ponzu Sauce that we got from the Asian Grocery store that we [...]

Indian Grilled Chicken Marinated in Milk/yogurt

Another delicious recipe from Pioneer Woman. This recipe was submitted by a Pioneer Woman reader for her Dairy Contest. It was one of the top 5 finalists. I changed the quantities a bit since I was just cooking for Cancy & I. We had this with breaded & baked Zucchini and it made for a [...]

No-Bake Protein Bars

I found these Protein Bars on Lindsey’s blog. She’s got some great workout tips on there as well as some basic routines. These protein bas make for a great mid day snack in taste a lot better than some of the protein shakes out there. I keep these in the fridge and usually take one [...]
