Onion Rice Pilaf

Onion Rice Pilaf Southern Living, NOVEMBER 2004 I’m soooooooooo guilty of not reading the directions. I got the part where you’re supposed to bake the rice and said, “Who in the hell bakes rice??” I didn’t do that. I cooked it on the stove. It was pretty good, but somewhat bland. I even added some…

The Fog

It rolled in.  We had seen it before for a little bit last week, but this time, the weather wasn’t supposed to change.  Rainy and chilly the rest of the week.  Great.  When I heard this along with the memories of a conversation previously about the weather rolling in and not rolling out quickly like…

Greek Pasta Salad

  Ugh.  It has been one of THE WORST days at work.  I was almost in tears with the amount of stress I have been up against today.  I had planned on performing this task monthly.  For some reason with the current budget the way it’s been going; I just knew we’d have to report…AGAIN!…

Bogota Day 1…or why you don’t get me started on politics.

In case you were wondering, no I didn’t get the same symptoms as last time.  Headache, yes.  Nausea, no.  Feel like death?  NO!  Thank baby jebus!!  I can’t imagine feeling like that EVER AGAIN! The rooms are lux and gorgeous.  But I miss Steve.  They kind of are wasted on just me.  The big bed? …

Liebster Award

I have been nominated for a Liebster Award!!  Um…what exactly is that and what did I get? I, like many others across the net, it seems, have researched far and wide for the origins of this award.  I, like many others across the net, didn’t come up with the exact origins of this award.  I…

S's Chicken Piccata

My phone is broken…and other confessions of a food hoarder.

I had taken some good pictures of S’s Chicken Piccata dinner on my phone. But STUPIDLY I didn’t download them before taking it to the Apple store to have them wipe it clean…again…even though I’ve tried that like 7 times since I found it the stupid wifi connect doesn’t work. GRR!! Apparently, the latest software…

Louisiana Goulash

Louisiana Goulash

  Louisiana Goulash COOKING LIGHT, MARCH 2004 TOTALLY did not follow the recipe on this one.  Something about having to wait 45 minutes for dinner on a weeknight that I don’t like.  SO, with that being said, here’s what we did. Cooked the rice separately.  Sauteed the celery and onion, then added the sausage.  Sauteed that…

Caramel Pork

Caramel Pork

Caramel Pork March 2011 Yeah, this looks really good. I have YET to get my sauce to coat the pork like that WITHOUT using cornstarch…. I LOVE this recipe except when the anchovies are too strong. I have them. So, when I buy a can I usually stick the rest in the freezer for use…

Stuffed Peppers

Stuffed Peppers recipe Cooking Light, January 2003 This was pretty easy, tasty, and FILLING! I couldn’t eat the whole portion!! I thought it was going to be bland, and just by chance used spaghetti sauce. I had plain tomato sauce for it, but couldn’t find the second 8 oz can so I used Ragu roasted…

Chipotle-Marinated Pork Chops with Chimichurri Sauce

Chipotle-Marinated Pork Chops with Chimichurri Sauce recipe Cooking Light, June 2000 I was worried these would be too spicy. They weren’t…until you reheat them for lunch! HOLY COW! I can’t put much on the chimichurri sauce. It was watery for some reason and I don’t think it really did much to enhance the flavor of…

Asian Flank Steak

Asian Flank Steak recipe Cooking Light, MAY 1996 Yeah, I’m not so great with cooking meat for some reason. This was mighty tasty, but I undercooked it at first…like WAY undercooked it. I didn’t have the right kind of vinegar so I used balsamic instead. I think it tasted better than rice wine vinegar would…

Pork Chops Oreganata

Pork Chops Oreganata

Pork Chops Oreganata recipe Cooking Light, JANUARY 2009 Yeah, these really should be called lemon pork chops oreganata. They were really good, but lemony. I would add more oregano and cut back on the lemon rind and juice. We served these with rice pilaf with shallots and parmesan. Measuring cups and spoons Knife Cutting board…

Mushroom-Chive Pilaf

Mushroom-Chive Pilaf recipe Cooking Light, OCTOBER 1997 YUM! This was easy to make and VERY tasty!! I didn’t put the mushrooms in at the end. I sauteed them with the onion and garlic, then added the broth and rice. I forgot the chives, though. It was yummy just with the shrooms though! Measuring cups and…

Hoisin Barbecued Chicken

Hoisin Barbecued Chicken

Hoisin Barbecued Chicken Cooking Light, January 2001 I really need to read the directions before I plan the meals. I didn’t marinate the chicken. OOPS! I tossed the chicken thighs in the sauce and then roasted them in the oven. They were really good!! I think, though, the next time I make them, I’m going…

Chicken Biryani

Chicken Biryani

Chicken Biryani Cooking Light, JANUARY 2009 YUMM-MY!! This was really good!! I didn’t add the golden raisins, the almonds or the HIDEOUS cilantro. I probably chopped the chicken up too big, so make sure it’s truly bite sized about 1″ pieces. My hands were cold because the chicken was still a little frozen. *shiver* I…

Braised Balsamic Chicken

Braised Balsamic Chicken This was pretty good. It didn’t have enough of a balsamic flavor to suite me even though I doubled the amount. I used fire roasted tomatoes which added a great depth of flavor to the sauce. We served this with rice. Knife Cutting board Measuring cups and spoons Large nonstick skillet Spatula

Jambalaya Cooking Light, DECEMBER 2004 Well, the best intentions… I had planned on making this in the crock pot. Somehow, the crock pot came unplugged so when I got home Thursday, a little early from work, I put it on the Dutch oven to cook. It was YUMMY! I made some short grain brown rice…

Beef Goulash

Beef Goulash Cooking Light, MARCH 2006 We made this recipe last night. We didn’t follow the directions to a T because, seriously, 2+ hours?? I don’t think so. I think it’s something I would convert to a slow cooked recipe, though. So, we followed the directions to the point where you cook the stew WITHOUT…
