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”

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”

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”

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!”

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”
