Someone Must Be Sick Soup

When my kids were young, I’d come home from work and sometimes my mother in law would be there…making this soup.

Tatertot Casserole

This recipe is the one my kids text me for the most. You’d think they’d write it down but they don’t. I’ve offered to pay for them to get it tattooed on their bodies because they request it so much. This is GOOD TASTING food…that is BAD FOR YOU…but there’s lots of it. And sometimes…

Thai Basil Chicken

Super easy, super fast, super good. I used some minute rice to serve it over and was done with the whole thing in less than 20 minutes. Flavor wise it’s a bit spicy and a bit sweet and that’s how I like it. Ingredients 1.5 lbs ground chicken 1.5 cup basil 10 cloves garlic 7-8…

Chicken Parm (AB Style)

Straight up stole this recipe from Alton Brown…putting it here for my own remembrances. It ROCKED…Long and Complex but it ROCKED. I don’t even LIKE Chicken Parm…and I liked this.

Steak, Berries, & Walnut Salad

So…I went to a restaurant and ordered this salad…but I didn’t get this salad…I got wilted lettuce, overdone shoe leather steak, no berries, the wrong kind of dressing, and no walnuts. So…I went home and made it myself the next day just to get the LOUSY taste out of my mouth from the night before….

Beef Stroganoff Take 2

I love Beef Stroganoff…and my other recipe was fine…but more “Hamburger Helper” tasting than anything else. This recipe is just as easy…and adds a bit of tang to the flavor party that isn’t present in the first recipe. Hope you like it! Ingredients: 1 pound Ground Beef (93% lean or leaner) 1/2 pound sliced button…
