Pumpkin Bread Pudding

It’s only October, but the holiday recipes are already being posted everywhere 🙂 This is from epicurious.com, which occationally posts desserts that are easy enough for me to attempt with my small kitchen and limited baking skills. With it being so cold outsite, I really just can’t get enough of pumpkin and egg-nog flavored anythingContinue reading “Pumpkin Bread Pudding”

Creamy Slow-Cooker Macaroni and Cheese

This is one of Paula Deen’s recipes on the Food Network site. This was posted as one of the most popular recipes for weeks. It’s really easy, really tasty and it makes a TON of food. I’m a big fan of hot dogs and mac ‘n cheese so I recommend throwing in some cut upContinue reading “Creamy Slow-Cooker Macaroni and Cheese”

Slow Cooker Mexican Pork

This is hopefully the start of several good slow-cooker recipes that I’m going to post. God knows there are a lot of bad ones (most courtesy of Sandra Lee). I did a search for slow-cooker recipes on the Betty Crocker website and this was one of the ones that seemed easy while still looking prettyContinue reading “Slow Cooker Mexican Pork”

Paula’s Chicken Georgia

This recipe is from Paula Deen’s “Say Cheese” show, but I think that it’s also a good dish for her quick-fix show. Rachael Ray might also think about stealing this one! This is really easy, so delicious, and super-fast (quicker than 30 minutes). I have made this a couple times now and I’ve changed theContinue reading “Paula’s Chicken Georgia”

Baked Red Snapper

We started eating fish at least weekly (not counting what comes from the Harris Teeter sushi counter) and it has really made our meals more healthy. I noticed that the calories are much less and you can get full without feeling overly full. I used to be a little scared of cooking fish, but thenContinue reading “Baked Red Snapper”

Boo’s Yummy Chicken Burgers

I don’t know if anyone else saw Rachael Ray’s show where she cooked the foods that her late dog loved, but it was really touching! I guess for those of us without children it nice to have “kids” to cook for even if they are on all fours. This recipe is not just dog foodContinue reading “Boo’s Yummy Chicken Burgers”

Wasabi and Panko – Crusted Pork Tenderloin

This is a variation on a previous recipe that I posted previously. I think using the tenderloin is much better than the pork chops. Pork Tenderloin1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs – other kinds of light breadcrumbs could work)1 large egg white, lightly beaten1 average size tenderloinPeanut oil (vegetable oil is fine too) Sauce (you mayContinue reading “Wasabi and Panko – Crusted Pork Tenderloin”

Naked Snickers (or Naked Gooey-Nuts or Crescent Layer Bars)

This is a really easy pillsbury recipe that I got from one of those little magazines you find in the grocery store checkout. The original name was really boring, so after taking them to work they got renamed as Naked Snickers (or Naked Gooey-Nuts). I changed the recipe a little to my taste: 1 canContinue reading “Naked Snickers (or Naked Gooey-Nuts or Crescent Layer Bars)”

15 Minute Omelette Muffins

This is an idea I got from Rachael Ray’s “Get Real Meals” Cookbook. I think she calls them her mini frittatas, but I think to think of them like little egg muffins with stuff inside. This is a really cool breakfast meal because it’s easy and since they go in the oven you don’t haveContinue reading “15 Minute Omelette Muffins”
