Wasabi and Panko-Crusted Pork

I got this recipe from cooking light, but I promise when you eat it you will not believe that you are eating something low-cal 🙂 Pork Chops1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs – find these in the international aisle) 1 large egg white, lightly beaten 4 (4-ounce) boneless center-cut loin pork chops (about 1/2 inch thick)Continue reading “Wasabi and Panko-Crusted Pork”

Easy Foiled Salmon and Simple Risotto

The salmon hardly even needs a recipe because the prep time is about 5 minutes and it’s about as easy as it gets. The salmon also requires no dishes so it’s immediately my favorite meal to make. I got this idea by ust doing a google search on what I thought people might bake withContinue reading “Easy Foiled Salmon and Simple Risotto”

Giada’s Onion Soup

This seems to be Giada’s easiest recipe. I don’t usually make her food because it looks really complicated and she uses ingredients that are hard to find or extremely expensive. In this case, Super Walmart carries fontina cheese and it’s really reasonable. Obviously from the pictures, I don’t have any ramekins so instead I usedContinue reading “Giada’s Onion Soup”

Paula makes my mom’s goulash!

This is actually Paula Deen’s “Wayne’s Beef and Macaroni and Cheese,” but I swear it tastes just like the goulash my mom used to make when I was little. This recipe is SUPER-easy and makes a TON of food! We each had two huge helpings last night and the casserole dish is still half-full. 1-poundContinue reading “Paula makes my mom’s goulash!”

Rollo Pretzel Candies

Yes, I too have hopped on the rollo-pretzel-pecan-m&m candy bandwagon. I saw these first at Something So Clever and they looked easy and delicious, but I’m not one for nuts. Then I saw the M&M variation the Domestic Diva did and I decided I’d throw in the towel and make a bunch for my workplaceContinue reading “Rollo Pretzel Candies”

Beef Tenderloin with Wasabi Garlic Cream Sauce

Oh what to do when a nice beef tenderloin is on sale at the grocery store! Thank you Epicurious 🙂 My New Year’s resolution is to not only take pictures of what I cook, but also to remember to post them. Hopefully everyone will be so excited about the picture they that will forgive myContinue reading “Beef Tenderloin with Wasabi Garlic Cream Sauce”

Parmesan Encrusted Tilapia

Our Friday night dinner! I always thought that the this recipe sounded really good, but I’ve been really disappointed with what I’ve had at restaurants. The Olive Garden’s version is a little bland and over-cooked for my taste, so I skipped all of the copycats for that and slightly modified one I found on Recipezaar.Continue reading “Parmesan Encrusted Tilapia”

Simple Sorta-Saltimbocca

This isn’t technically Saltimbocca, but it is the same idea with a much more simple method. Last night I had some chicken breasts and prosciutto on hand, but I didn’t want to spend more than 20 minutes getting dinner ready so I came up with this (after a few Google searches for inspiration): 4 bonelessContinue reading “Simple Sorta-Saltimbocca”

"You Won’t Be Single for Long" Vodka Cream Pasta

This recipe is from Rachael Ray‘s first “30 Minute Meals” book. I don’t make a lot of Rachael’s recent recipes because I think they’ve lost a little of their creativity, but this is a throw-back to her simple recipe days. It’s easy to make and most of the ingredients are stuff that I keep onContinue reading “"You Won’t Be Single for Long" Vodka Cream Pasta”

Polynesian Pork Chops

I originally got this recipe years ago from one of the Pillsbury “Cookoff” books from the grocery store. I lost the actual recipe, but then I did a few searches and found it again on Recipezaar. 4 boneless pork chops1 teaspoon garlic powder1 tablespoon vegetable oil1 medium onion, chopped1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed goldenContinue reading “Polynesian Pork Chops”
