Things I Found on Amazon – #14

Advertisements

Every kitchen needs some cool gadgets to make things run smoother, work better or just plain make life easier. This week I want to share a few things that I {ACTUALLY} bought on Amazon and just love! Whether you are looking for some gift ideas for the home cook in your life or just want to treat yourself to something fun for your kitchen set-up, I hope you will come back each week to see what else I found. And yes – of course – these are some affiliate links in the post.

Vertical Skewer/Stainless Steel Pit Stand – I had always wanted to be able us make al pastor or spit style Mediterranean meats but never really know how I could do that without a big huge unit that makes enough food for a restaurants’ full day of service. Until I saw this amazing little unit that makes just enough for a family dinner. You can also use it for making a whole chicken or even cornish game hens or quail!

PRO Duxano Pots & Pans Set – if you have been following along, you know that my family has been living in a camper for the last 8 months while we turn our bare 20 acres in rural Montana for our forever home. This means tight quarters all the way around. These pans with a removable handle are an incredible space saver. The 3-ply construction makes these a wonderful set for any kitchen – camber or otherwise.

3-Piece Large Cutting Board Set – cutting boards are so super important for home cooking. And it’s so useful to have a variety of sizes – because sometimes you are breaking down an entire pork tenderloin and sometimes you just need to wedge a lime. I really like these boards because they are lightweight and they have the juice groove – so that anything juicy doesn’t just flow all over the countertop.

64 oz Mason Jar with Pour Lid – My Family loves to have sweet tea and fresh lemonade. These mason jars are perfect for making sun teas as well as flavored lemonades like my Mixed Berry Sparkling Lemonade. The spout will work on any wide mouth mason jar.

Citrus Juicer – I love to use fresh squeezed juice in many of my marinades and homemade dressings. While the big mechanical juicing machines are great when you are going to make a large amount of juice, they aren’t great for when you need a few tablespoons. That’s when I pull out the hand juicer like this one. It has sturdy construction and works really well.

Do you have any must-have kitchen tools or gadgets that you want to share? Do you have any suggestion so things that you want me to check out?

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links to products included.

The Weekly Book Report and Book Review Link-up #1

Advertisements

Welcome to the Weekly Book Report and Book Review Link-up!

Every Wednesday I will be sharing my latest read – which could be a cookbook, a celebrity chef biography or memoir, a lifestyle book, a gardening book, a homemaking book or maybe even a cozy kitchen mystery book. They may be paper books, eBooks, or audio books. I have challenged myself to read or listen to at least one book per week, and I plan to share that with you all here.

In addition to my Book Report, there will be a Book Report LInky – a chance for all of you to share your own book review blog post (ONE per blog, please). We want to see what had you page flipping, can’t put it down, totally captivated.

Lastly will be a Featured post from the previous week’s shared posts. This will be a post picked at random by the host. Each host will likely pick their own feature – so that’s three chances to be featured!

If you have any suggestions for me on book I should check out – please let me know!

Title:

Old-fashioned on Purpose: Cultivating a Slower, More Joyful Life (audio book version)

Author: Jill Winger Narrator: Jill Winger

Publication Date: September 26, 2023

Published by: Harlequin Audio

Listed Price: $15.99 (paperback) $25.19 (audible audiobook)

About the Author:

Jill Winger and her family pursue a lifestyle of modern-homesteading on the wide open prairies of Wyoming. They dabble in a variety of small-scale agricultural endeavors including organic gardening, grass-fed beef cattle, home dairying, poultry, and more.

Brief Description of the book:

As our society races toward progress, we’ve left something important behind. We are more connected than ever before, yet we’re still feeling unfulfilled. In Old-Fashioned on Purpose, Winger shows how simplifying our lives and adopting retro skills such as gardening and handiwork can be the key to creating the happy and healthy life we’re yearning for.

My Review:

My favorite thing about this book is that it is realistic. Jill shares real-world experiences and attainable goals. She knows that no one can just flip a switch and become “Old-fashioned on Purpose.” But rather, she gives you a variety of options as well as a plethora of detailed information on achieving those goals. Her assertions are backed by researched data. So she doesn’t just give you the what and the how but also the why. Jill narrates this audiobook and does it in a cheerful but not sugary tone. She directs to the accompanying pdf as needed and reads the book as it is written.

Chili Lime Grilled Chicken

Advertisements

Jump to Recipe

This is one of those recipes that really hinges on the preparation steps. The marinade you create for the chicken is the main key to success when it comes to grilling up moist and tender chicken. But it is worth every extra moment when you sink your teeth into this succulent Chili Lime Grilled Chicken.

There are lots of ways to use this chicken. But one really clutch method is to make one or two extra breasts and let them cool all the way while you eat dinner. Then, you can use them over the next week to make lunches like a southwest salad or chicken quesadilla or burrito. You can meal prep some rice bowls, too. The flavor is excellent and doesn’t need much added for a delicious lunch.

Substitutes and Variations:

If you want to add a little more zip, you can add in some cayenne powder. If you do not have fresh lime, you can use a bottle of lime juice. Just increase the amount to make up for the lack of zest. You can also use a product like True Lemon Crystallized Lime, if you can locate it.

Suggestions for Sides:

As I mentioned above, you can use this grilled chicken for lots of things. I most recently used it to make chicken burritos. I filled an extra large burrito with my slow cooker black beans, easy tomatillo sauce, cilantro lime rice, cheese, avocado, and sour cream. It was delicious – not to mention a hearty – dinner option. You can use it on sheet pan nachos, a chicken taco pizza, taco salad, or burrito bowl.

Tools that may make this recipe easier:

You will need a zester or microplane to get the lime zest off the limes. You can also use a hand juicer for juicing the limes. I also suggest using gallon sized zippered bags to marinate the meat. I personally prefer the freezer bag variety, as they are thicker and less likely to get a puncture, making a huge mess of the liquid contents.

Now Let’s Get Cookin’!

Green Chile Pork & Eggs

Advertisements

Jump to Recipe

Not all egg dishes have to be for breakfast. Eggs are an amazing source of protein and can really stretch a meal (and budget) when the freezer is running low on meat options. This particular recipes combines some ground pork with the eggs to make a delicious bite with a little bit of heat from the green chilies. Whether you make this for breakfast or dinner, your going to love this quick easy meal of Green Chile Pork & Eggs.

I have included my own recipe for taco seasoning at the bottom of the full recipe. I make this in larger quantities and store it in a mason jar next to my other spices. We use it often. It is great to add more flavor to a simple cheese quesadilla or flavor your eggs or make quick marinades for chicken or beef. Having it on hand helps to keep me from reaching for a packet in a pinch. That said, use the packet if you are in a pinch. I do try to stick to the low or less sodium versions as thats the biggest issue with the pre-made mixes.

Substitutes and Variations:

I have used pork in this, but ground beef or ground turkey would be just fine, too. If you want to add more heat (green chilies are relatively mild), you can substitute for a can of diced jalapeños or just use your favorite hot sauce.

Suggestions for Sides:

Get Recipe Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400degF.
In a large bowl, add tortilla triangles with oil and and one tablespoon of taco seasoning. Toss to evenly coat. Then turn out bowl on to a baking rack over a baking sheet. They do not need to be in a single layer as they are just getting toasty (not making chips!)
In a large saute pan over medium high heat, add ground pork and sprinkle with remaining taco seasoning. Remove from pan and keep warm.
Place tortillas into oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Add beaten eggs to the same saute pan, reducing the heat to medium. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. After 90 seconds of cooking, add one of the cans of green chiles and half of the cheese. Continue to stir and cook until desired doneness (slightly runny is better).
Add a layer of the baked tortillas to a shallow wide bowl or plate. Top with some of the ground pork, a sprinkle of cheese and a portion of the eggs. Add a few more pieces of tortillas, another sprinkle of pork and cheese. Spoon the some green chiles over the top and sprinkle with green onions. Repeat with remaining servings.

Eggs are a main staple of my households food intake. And not just because we raise chickens (currently, we have about 2 dozen chickens just for laying eggs). We have always had an egg heavy eating habit. They are just so good, an amazing source of extra protein, and so versatile. You can simply fry them up in a little bacon grease with some salt and pepper, or you can kick it up a notch and make them into a full-on mean. And not just for breakfast – lunch and dinner can be egg centric too! I have pulled together nearly two dozen of my most popular Egg Recipes that I’ve shared over the years. Which one will you try first?

A few key kitchen tools you may want to have to hand when it comes to making these Egg recipes:

WHISK – whether you prefer a French whisk (the thin metal (sometimes silicone) cage style) or a Dutch Whisk (flat thicker wire style), you almost always need a whisk on hand when eggs are on the ingredients list.
Strainer Spoon – when it comes to boiling eggs – a strainer spoon can be the difference between cracked shells and not cracked. The main holes in the spoon help make it easy to gently lower the eggs into the boiling water, as well as remove them at the end.
13×9 Baking Dish – a few of these recipes are made in a glass Baking dish.

And without further adieu – here are My Favorite Egg Recipes from the blog!

Chorizo Egg Tacos – Whether you are looking for a weekend breakfast idea that will really wow folks or need a quick and delicious breakfast for dinner recipe – you came to the right place. These tacos are simple with just a few ingredients but it all comes together for a fantastic bite. Chorizo & Egg Tacos are a must for your next Taco Tuesday!

Smoked Deviled Eggs – While I’m sure many have had the classic deviled eggs and thoroughly enjoyed them, you may not have heard about Smoked Deviled Eggs. By smoking the eggs on your smoker (like my trusty Traeger Grill) instead of boiling them, you get a delicious layer of flavor you may not expect from something as small as a humble egg.

BEC Breakfast Biscuit – So this might be a stretch for a breakfast for dinner idea…but not entirely. This recipe is so good for when you just don’t have the time or maybe the energy to make a whole meal. But it’s full of protein and will definitely fill up your belly. The BEC Breakfast Sandwich is always a big hit in my house and I bet it will be in yours too.

Mexican Breakfast Bowls – Since we raise chickens, we always have a lot of eggs. So often, I find meals to utilize a large amount of eggs for dinner to make sure none go to waste. This recipe accomplishes just that – uses up a large amount of eggs and still counts as dinner. With the combo of beans, pork, bell peppers, cheese, and eggs, you are going to love this recipe for Mexican Breakfast Bowls.

Grilled Pork Ramen with Bok Choy – Making a real bowl of ramen at home is super easy and a great way to use up what you have on hand. One of the most wonderful things about ramen is that you can put together all sorts of different veggies and meats to create a delicious bowl – so you can really clean out that veggie drawer in the fridge! This go around I decided that I wanted to use up some pork chops, so I made Grilled Pork Ramen with Bok Choy.

Blackstone Breakfast Quesadilla – This quesadilla has a whole breakfast melted together in a cheese filled tortilla. Plenty of eggs, bacon, ham and sausage mixed together to make the ultimate Blackstone Breakfast Quesadilla. This recipe will work for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It is also a great family gathering breakfast (like a holiday), as it can easily feed an army fairly easily.

Comfort Breakfast Bowl – Great for breakfast, brunch or dinner – a hand-breaded chicken fried steak over a biscuit, smothered in sausage gravy and topped with an over medium egg. The rich and creamy dish is not for the faint of heart – you will want to show up to the table with an empty belly for sure! This Comfort Breakfast Bowl combines the delicious recipes for my Tarragon Sausage Gravy and Classic Chicken Fried Steak into a cohesive meal that will keep everyone coming back for more.

Bagel Breakfast Sliders – Breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner – these Bagel Breakfast Sliders are the recipe you need in your life. The simplicity of these delicious – and filling – sliders is what makes it the perfect dish for any meal of the day, any day of the week. By combining some simple ingredients, you can create a beautiful slider that everyone is going to be falling head over heels for.

Simple Egg Fried Rice – If you need a quick and easy side dish or lunch idea – you have come to the right recipe. Now before I start getting some upset people – this is NOT a traditional fried rice – that’s why it’s called Simple Egg Fried Rice. I realize that there are lots of fried rice recipes out there, some are very involving and some are even simpler that mine. This particular recipe is to get you a the flavors and idea of a fried rice without needing extra equipment or skills.

Happy Pig Breakfast Burrito – Breakfast burritos are very popular in our home. With all the eggs we get from our backyard chickens, I am always looking for ways to use up large amounts of eggs. These burritos are excellent for breakfast, lunch and dinner and even an afternoon snack. Loaded with lots of protein they are going to make everyone in the family happy. Which is why I call this recipe the Happy Pig Breakfast Burrito.

Southwest Egg Salad – As most of you know, we raise our own chickens for both meat and eggs. With it being the colder months, we do tend to get a few less eggs but still have enough. Most everyone in our family enjoys having an egg salad sandwich for lunch or a snack and we do try to make it a little bit different every now and then. Most recently, I had some leftovers from the corn salsa that I used to make some tacos and opted to chop them up and add them to my egg salad. The addition of cilantro, red onion and jalapeno made for a delightful Southwest Egg Salad.

Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit Bake – Whether you are on the hunt for an easy breakfast, brunch or dinner recipe – you came to the right place. This Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit Bake is quick to put together and takes very little attention. It also keeps very well so you could make it ahead for a baby shower or potluck. With lots of bacon and cheese – you are going to want to keep these ingredients on hand to make this regularly.

Asian Beef Bowl – Rice bowls are perfect for weeknight meals. You can layer up lots of flavor with ingredients you likely have on hand to make a hearty and tasty dinner. These Asian Beef Bowls pack a real flavor punch with the runny egg and Sriracha. And it really is a quick dinner to put together.

Pancake Tacos – Taco Tuesdays don’t just have to be about dinner, right? These Pancake Tacos are not just fun to eat they are fun to make! Whether you make them for breakfast, brunch or dinner, they are going to be a hit. The soft pillowy pancakes stuffed with sausage AND bacon and then layered up with fluffy eggs and cheese – are you drooling yet?

Hollandaise Breakfast Enchiladas – If you are looking for a super simple breakfast, brunch or breakfast for dinner recipe then scroll no further! These Hollandaise Breakfast Enchiladas – or as my son calls them Benichiladas – are going to make everyone happy and feel just a little bit fancy. You are also going to want to hold on to this totally easy hollandaise hack – you’ll never break the sauce again.

Classic Egg Salad – We have a mixed flock of backyard egg laying chickens. Which means that every so often we get an over abundance of eggs. It goes in waves with the seasons and with the types of meals we are making around the house. Every time we fill up both of our egg containers (about 4 dozen), I turn to this Classic Egg Salad recipe to use them up in a very delicious dish. I call it a classic because it really does pull in the traditional flavors of mayonnaise, mustard, pickles, dill and paprika.

BEC Pizza – We love our pizza around here, but sometimes we really need to switch things up and try something a little different. So what make a pizza a pizza? In my house, it’s a crust (dough, cauliflower or even chicken), with a sauce or soft cheese, ingredients (meat and/or veggies) topped with more cheese. And by this definition, this BEC Pizza is definitely pizza. The Bacon Egg and Cheese classic flavor profile lends itself perfectly to a quick weeknight pizza.

Jalapeno Dill Deviled Eggs – Whenever I think of deviled eggs I think of those plain old paprika covered bites you got on the holidays at a family members house. What’s amazing is they are usually pretty good, but I say they can be better. Eggs are such a easy flavor to work with, you can combine them with so many things. Like these Jalapeno Dill Deviled Eggs – a little spicy kick along with the freshness of dill. Just be careful bringing them to the next function – because you will be asked to bring them every time!

Cheesy Tater Tot Casserole – This is one of those recipes that works as a great weekend breakfast or a great weeknight dinner. With a good combo of bacon, sausage, cheese, eggs, and potatoes – you have all of the best parts of a solid hearty meal. Cheesy Tater Tot Casserole is filling and relatively simple to put together, making it a perfect breakfast, lunch, dinner, make-ahead, potluck, or holiday meal.

Hope you enjoyed my selections of egg recipes – do you have a favorite? Which one will you be trying first?
