Italian Sub Pasta
Advertisements Sometimes I have these cravings to eat a specific flavor combination but don’t necessarily want to eat it in the typical way.

Mexican Breakfast Bowls

This recipe accomplishes just that – uses up a large amount of eggs and still counts as dinner. With the combo ofContinue reading “Mexican Breakfast Bowls”
Pork Dumpling Smash Tacos

This recipe for Smothered Chicken & Potatoes is going to be a fastContinue reading “Smothered Chicken & Potatoes”
Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti
Advertisements One pan meals and homemade on a weeknight go hand in hand. Some one pan meals are very “set it and forget it” and others have more active time as you layer in the flavor. This particular recipe is a little bit of both. You have active time at the start and then activeContinue reading “Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti”
Cheesesteak Burritos
Advertisements If you’ve been around the blog for a bit, you know how much I love to turn any classic flavor profile into a burrito – or taco or burger or sandwich for that matter.
