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 servedContinue reading “Kofta Kebabs with Homemade Hummus and Cucumber Tomato Salad”

My Favorite Homemade Hummus
I know you might wonder why you should bother making hummus at home, when there are a million different kinds you can buy at the grocery store. This homemade hummus is so smooth and creamy and you can adjust the seasoning to your liking or add any flavors you want to it. I love itContinue reading “My Favorite Homemade Hummus”
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 toContinue reading “Lemon Garlic Butter Shrimp with Parmesan Polenta”
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 balanceContinue reading “Thai Red Curry Noodle Soup”
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 madeContinue 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 insteadContinue 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.Continue reading “Full English Breakfast”
Mongolian Chicken
Mongolian chicken is another quick and easy Chinese takeout make at home meal. It has simple ingredients and technique, but a lot of flavor. Tender strips of chicken are lightly fried with cornstarch to give a crispy texture and they are served in a sweet, spicy ginger garlic and chili sauce with vegetables and rice.Continue reading “Mongolian Chicken”
Seared Shrimp with Sun Dried Tomato Risotto
This seared shrimp with sun dried tomato risotto is adapted from Carlsbad Cravings. I couldn’t wait to try out this recipe. Risotto is such a pleasure to eat, especially on a cold day and I had never had a sun dried tomato version. I was a little skeptical about this because the recipe calls forContinue reading “Seared Shrimp with Sun Dried Tomato Risotto”
Buffalo Chicken Salad
This buffalo chicken salad combines all the things you think of when you think of buffalo chicken wings. Tangy buffalo sauce, carrots celery, blue cheese…. but in salad form. I love a big salad for dinner as long as it has tasty ingredients. I use marinated and grilled buffalo chicken breasts in this. You couldContinue reading “Buffalo Chicken Salad”
