Quick Easy Waffles
So why are these “easy” waffles? NO WHIPPING EGG WHITES! I am not a fan of elaborate recipes first thing in the morning. I don’t want to be separating eggs, […]
Main Dishes
Chicken Curry III
So, this is my third chicken curry recipe. It’s “the easy one”. No special ingredients, nothing exotic you have to order off the internet, nothing you can’t pronounce or don’t […]
“Beans”
So why the quote marks? Because there are so many types of beans out there, but my family has always called this type of beans just “Beans”. When I was […]
Stuffed Bell Peppers
When I was younger I used to buy packaged Spanish Rice mix (the San Francisco treat kind) and make basically the same recipe. Then, around 2001 when I no longer […]
Fish Tacos
If you’ve never had them, this might not look like something you’d want to even try. No cheese, no fatty seasoned meat, no crispy deep-fried shell. It’s just basically coleslaw […]
Fried Chicken
I don’t eat fried chicken very often, but when I do I want it to be juicy and crispy without being overly browned or greasy. So, I started making this […]
Green Pork Tacos
No, this isn’t made from the bastard child of any muppets! The sauce is green, not the pork. I suppose that “tacos de cerdo verde” or “carne de cerdo en […]
Toad in the Hole
This oddly named dish is kind of like a cross between a pancake and a quiche. I don’t know if the version I make is authentic or not, I’ve only […]
Chow Mein / Lo Mein
My recipe for this iconic Chinese dish is by no means authentic or traditional. It is, however, delicious, simple and filling. I’ve heard it called chow mein (apparently a US west […]
Chinese BBQ Pork
I love this stuff and I can eat tons of it! As an appetizer dipped in hot mustard, in chow/low mein, and even cold from the fridge as an “over […]
Tuna Casserole
Now that it’s finally wintery and cold outside, a good old fashion casserole really hits the spot! For me, this particular one is a childhood favorite, very comforting and filling. I […]
Overnight Breakfast Bake
I nearly always make my husband and I a cooked breakfast on the weekends. The alternative is going out or “take out” breakfast like donuts or fast food, which I […]
Turkey Lasiatori
Ok, so A: radiatori is pasta shaped sort of like a radiator. And secondly, Lasagne + Radiatori = Lasiatori. Though I am definitely a fan of lasagne, I am not a […]
Taco Casserole
I’m not a fan of “canpacket” recipes, you know the ones that call for a can of this and a packet of that? However, my Aunt was taught this recipe […]
Chicaroni Afraido
So just for fun, I’ve given this recipe a spooky October/Halloween name, but you could just call it Chicaroni, or (because that is pretty silly too) you could call Italian […]
Fast Fried Rice for 2
The last few times I’ve ordered fried rice from a restaurant it has not only been really expensive, it’s not been very good. My version of this takeout classic is […]
Tuna Cakes
These little tuna cakes remind me a bit of fried chicken… yup, fried chicken! I suspect that using the albacore tuna is the reason. I tried them with just regular […]
Chicken Curry II
I said I was a woman of many chicken curries, so I named my first chicken curry recipe”I” knowing that it would be just the first of many. I continued […]
Quiche
IMO quiche makes a great anytime meal. In the UK it’s considered a BBQ side dish, in the US it’s considered breakfast/Brunch food. In my house (half US & half […]
Chicken & Dumplings
Comfort food can be a very simple thing, such as a cupcake from a bakery. It can also be a labor of love, like chicken & dumplings. My version of this […]
Sweet & Sour Chicken for 2
Back in December of 2012, I published a recipe for a more traditional version of Sweet & Sour Chicken, where the chicken is fried in a coating and the sauce is […]
Beef & Broccoli Stirfry
I was going to call this recipe “A Tiny Amount of Tweaking & Some Broccoli” but no one would get the joke except a few family members… Basically this recipe […]
Roasted Butternut Squash Risotto
My family did something different for Thanksgiving this year, we met up at a Casino and had an all-you-can-eat buffet. No one had to cook or clean up, everyone ate […]
Chicken Katsu with Dipping Sauce & Hawaiian Macaroni Salad
Are you a fan of recipe sites that let the visitors post reviews? I used to be, but I got tired of finding out that 5-star recipe got most of […]
No Knead Pizza
Apparently, Halloween is like the unofficial “everyone order a pizza day”, but pizza is so expensive for what it is. Though the ingredients are not very expensive, yet a single small […]
Swedishish Meatballs
I added the “ish” because I would not presume that this is a totally authentic recipe. I am not from Sweden, I have never been to Sweden, and despite having […]
Chickpea, Spinach & Coconut Curry
We observe what has become known all over the internet as “Meatless Mondays”… Basically we try and eat a vegetarian main meal at least once a week, and generally, it’s planned for […]
