I adore Mediterranean food and I could happily eat this dinner for days in a row. I made my favorite homemade hummus yesterday and this recipe is a fantastic way to use it. This meal has spicy, flavorful lamb/beef kofta kebabs, creamy garlic hummus, and tangy fresh cucumber tomato salad over the top. I servedContinueContinue reading “Kofta Kebabs with Homemade Hummus and Cucumber Tomato Salad”

Lemon Garlic Butter Shrimp with Parmesan Polenta
Our local Wegman’s has this really great frozen shrimp that has nice texture and flavor, so I have been making a lot of shrimp lately. Shrimp (or any seafood) is my daughter’s favorite. This lemon garlic butter shrimp with polenta takes under 30 minutes and is delicious. As I have mentioned before, I prefer toContinueContinue reading “Lemon Garlic Butter Shrimp with Parmesan Polenta”
Ancho Chile Beef Enchiladas
I have a few different enchilada recipes I make repeatedly, but I wanted to try this one that adds dried ancho chilies to the sauce, instead of just chili powder. I love using dried Mexican chilies as they add so much flavor to sauces and dishes. They are so easy to get on amazon too,ContinueContinue reading “Ancho Chile Beef Enchiladas”
Thai Red Curry Noodle Soup
I love pretty much any and all curry from any country. They are all so different and so flavorful. This is a variation on Thai red curry that is served as a soup with noodles instead of over rice. Thai curry with coconut milk can be very rich, but this recipe has a good balanceContinueContinue reading “Thai Red Curry Noodle Soup”
Cheesy Beef and Shells
This creamy, cheesy beef and shells dish comes together in 30 minutes and has flavors everyone will love. There are few special touches to the sauce that make it super delicious. You can use any pasta for this recipe, but I like the shells because they hold little pockets of meat and sauce. If youContinueContinue reading “Cheesy Beef and Shells”
Bangers and Mash with Onion Gravy
What are you all having for Valentine’s day dinner? We had this yummy bangers and mash with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and dark beer onion gravy. Yum! It can be hard to find the right kind of sausages for this dish, so I used some German sausages I got from Aldi, because they have aContinueContinue reading “Bangers and Mash with Onion Gravy”
Mexican Chicken with Cheese Sauce and Rice
I saw a picture of this recipe and it looked so satisfying. It is a pretty simple meal, but I like the combination of highly spiced, grilled chicken, cheese sauce and rice. Ideally you should always marinate chicken breasts the day before, unless the marinade contains a lot of citrus or vinegar, in which caseContinueContinue reading “Mexican Chicken with Cheese Sauce and Rice”
Creamy Sun Dried Tomato and Spinach Ravioli
This is a super simple and quick but delicious meal you can make in 20 minutes. It uses refrigerated or frozen grocery store ravioli and the sauce is only a few ingredients, but they are ones that pack in the flavor. I had half a jar of sun dried tomatoes left from when I madeContinueContinue reading “Creamy Sun Dried Tomato and Spinach Ravioli”
Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice
This recipe is a variation on the Spicy Shrimp Crispy Rice (link to buy eel sauce in that post) I made a while ago from Cooking with Cocktail Rings (which has gorgeous food pics btw). This version uses the same technique to make a crispy rice base, but tops it with spicy tuna topping insteadContinueContinue reading “Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice”
Full English Breakfast
Let me include a little disclaimer for this post 🙂 This is not a fully traditional English breakfast because I live in the US and it can be hard to find a few of the items that are traditionally served with a full English. This is my best approximation with things from my local grocery.ContinueContinue reading “Full English Breakfast”
