This wasn’t my idea. I saw this idea getting passed around Facebook and totally stole it. I don’t even remember who posted it, but I HAD to try this trick, because I have stood around and shredded chicken by hand for too many years. With this awesome trick, I shall finally be freed from shredding … Continue reading
Seriously? A Waffle Burger? Has she lost her mind? Oh yes, I’m waffle nuts for sure. Here is another culinary creation from my waffle iron – The Waffle Burger. Technically, it’s a bacon, cheese, fresh ground tri-tip waffle burger but once you’ve violated the sanctity of the burger, additional ingredients are all pedantic. The Waffle … Continue reading
So, I’m pretty sure today was my luckiest day this week. I was playing “clean out the freezer” and discovered some chicken strips, which appeared to have either been seasoned or brined in May of this year. To make things even more confusing, the bag was clearly marked in Amelia’s handwriting. It took the both of … Continue reading

I think this dish would work equally as well with chicken. Ingredients: 2 thick cut, bone-in pork chops Olive … Continue reading

And regardless of what we put into our hot dips, they always seem to be a party hit. In honor of Fast Food Friday, here is another one for you. … Continue reading
Caprese is one of my favorite flavors. And if you put it in a croissant and smash it in a waffle iron, it takes on a whole persona of ooey, gooey and crunchy. Caprese Croisaffle One mini croissant Balsamic vinegar Sliced tomato Sliced fresh mozzarella (I’m using mini mozzarella balls today) A few ribbons of … Continue reading
Breakfast is good any time of day! These burritos were a quick and tasty dinner. Prep and cook time took less than 30 minutes. Note: For the hashbrowns, I use a brand of dried potatoes that you reconstitute by adding hot water. This recipe should also work with fresh or frozen hashbrowns, but they may … Continue reading
It’s always great to have something quick to cook that will satisfy your family,or make a great appetizer. While flautas are usually filled with mainly proteins and then deep fried, I changed it up a little. I filled a few flour tortillas with thinly sliced bell peppers and onions, a little bit of cheese and … Continue reading
