Have you ever heard of the Christmas in July sales? I haven't seen them as much lately, but I remembering them being more prominent when the Internet wasn't the main way to shop. I'm making this post about Thanksgiving in July because I have a full turkey in the freezer from last Thanksgiving and Tony [...]
Is there anyone out there who doesn't like a Greek gyro? If you are going for an authentic Greek taste, you use lamb. However, I'm not able to get a large amount of lamb that is required to make this. I can get lamb, but the cost is outrageous. A couple pounds was nearly 30 [...]
I have to confess, this week's recipe came out of a necessity to use something up. A while ago, I bought a five pound bag of frozen peaches. At the time, we had a use for them. Fast forward to now, that bag has been sitting in my freezer for months. I've been eating them [...]
This recipe was inspired by a post by my friend Aaron. He posted a great comment on his Facebook page, which said: "So...dopiaza curry.....omfg, everything in it is Sooooooo tender". I had never heard of Dopiaza Curry, so I decided to look it up. You would Dopiaza would be Italian, but Italians don't make curries. [...]
Looking at the weather this week, it's time to beat the heat. The slow cooker is perfect for this. No fuss and doesn't heat up the house. I ran into this recipe from Half-Baked Harvest for Crockpot Creamy Cashew Chicken and was intrigued. I love cashews and I've never tried cashew milk. I've heard a [...]
I was really tired on a Friday night and was vegging out watching YouTube after a long work week. While I was surfing for videos to watch, I caught a Tasty video about African party rice recipes. I love a good rice recipe. I also love a good ethnic recipe. I had never heard of [...]
Ok, so I must be up for a challenge this week. I picked a really carby recipe and figured I'd give it a shot to make. It sounded really good. The Italian recipe called Sartù Di Riso gets most of its calories from the arborio rice and mozzarella cheese. It's not a healthy dish by any [...]
So I had no idea I would be making burgers out of pork tenderloin this week, but I couldn't help but try it. I ran across a recipe from Taste of Home that used pork tenderloin as the meat in a burger. I never thought to use it that way. The original recipe for Tempting [...]
Bolognese sauce is one of the standard sauces in Italian cuisine. It's a meat sauce which is totally delicious. Because it is a meat sauce, it's also a lot of saturated fat and calories. Then pair it with pasta and you have a nutritional nightmare. Fear not, the humble lentil saves the day! Sorchapud posted [...]
I have made both chicken and rice bakes and chicken tortilla casseroles. They are both very good. While I was thumbing through a list of recipes for chicken and rice, I saw a recipe from Half-Baked Harvest that combined the two. This recipe for Skillet Salsa Verde Tortilla Rice Bake uses salsa verde, the green [...]
