7 Layer Dip Burritos

This recipe is basically a bunch of 7 layer dip, wrapped up in a tortilla. Doesn’t that sound good? I loved these and they were pretty easy to make. This is a no meat recipe as is, but you could easily add some seasoned ground beef, chicken or shrimp to these. What is in 7…

Amaretto Sour

Amaretto is a sweet liqueur made from made from apricot kernels, bitter almonds, peach pits, or almonds depending on the brand. It has a lovely almond flavor that goes great in coffee, but it is a bit sweet to drink by itself to me, so I love the combination with lemon juice and whisky in this drink. To make this…

Seared Scallops with Pesto Spaghetti and Blistered Tomatoes

Just looking at the picture of this dinner makes my mouth water and I’m going to have to make it again soon because it was soooo good. Scallops are one of the easiest seafood items to make. I love to cook them using my sous vide machine and then sear them in a super hot…

Rice Krispie treats are SO easy and so addicting and there are about a million variations out there online.

Mango Dessert Cups

My daughter saw these mango dessert cups on YouTube and asked me to make them. I am always up for trying new recipes and I love desserts. 🙂 These are pretty easy as the only cooked element is the custard and it is just a simple mango puree cooked with cornstarch to thicken it. If…

Salisbury Steak Meatballs with Mashed Potatoes

I am pretty much on board with any meat/gravy/potato combo, and I liked to sound of these Salisbury steak flavored meatballs. This recipe uses ketchup, mustard and Worcestershire sauce as the main flavorings and I was a little worried it would just taste like a hamburger (would that really be a problem?), but the gravy…

Crab Stew

My husband and I love seafood and my kids like most seafood as well, especially my daughter. My grocery store was advertising crab legs last week and I had been wanting to make this stew, so it seemed like a good time to do it. The soup is crab based, meaning the broth is made…
