Air Fryer Chicharrones de Harina

This is one of my favorite snacks! Air fried duritos! 390°F for 2 minutes and it’s done. So tasty! Just be sure to preheat your air fryer! 1 cup Duros; Mexican Wagon Wheels Olive Oil Seasoning of choice (cinnamon sugar and Tajin are amazing!) Preheat your air fryer to 390°F. Place the duritos in theContinue reading “Air Fryer Chicharrones de Harina”

Ground Turkey Taco Pizza

I had a lot of leftover Frijoles de Olla from class that needed to be used up, but I didn’t want to make soup with it because it’s a balmy 70°F here. Taco Pizza to the rescue! I refried some of the beans and added them as the “sauce”. It was a hit and IContinue reading “Ground Turkey Taco Pizza”

Ancho Chicken Enchilada Casserole

I found some long lost tortillas in the freezer that were too stiff to make enchiladas with. So, I made chicken enchilada casserole instead! It also meant that I could use up the chile pork stock I saved from the last time I made enchiladas. Win win! Chicken Filling: 1 ½ lbs Boneless-skinless Chicken ThighsContinue reading “Ancho Chicken Enchilada Casserole”

Weeknight Cottage Pie

I had some leftover pomme puree from class and thought it would make an amazing topping for cottage pie! I had some leftover honey cornbread and steamed broccoli from last night’s dinner. Easy weeknight dinner! Beef Filling: 2 lbs Ground Beef 1 cup Onion; diced ½ cup Carrots; diced 1 cup Mushrooms; minced 3 clovesContinue reading “Weeknight Cottage Pie”

Borscht

Andrew and I went to an eastern European market on Saturday and I’ve finally gotten around to making a dish I’ve wanted to try for a decade. Borscht! It was deliciously earthy and complex! I made some beef and cabbage piroshki to go with it. ¼ cup Bacon Ends 2 large Beets; peeled and cubedContinue reading “Borscht”

Creamy Italian Chicken Thighs

I wanted to make an Italian chicken dish that didn’t have much dairy in it. This really hit the spot! I made cinnamon candied carrots, sautéed mushrooms and green beans to go with it. I got a thumbs up for dinner! Chicken: 5 large Bone-In Skin-On Chicken Thighs 1 stick Butter; softened ⅔ teaspoon DriedContinue reading “Creamy Italian Chicken Thighs”

Pork & Mushroom Ravioli with Carrot Puree

It was my first day of class yesterday and I ended the day with quite a bit carrot puree. I thought pork and mushroom ravioli would go great with it! I’ve never been a fan of fancy plating because it tends to look pretentious, but I thought I’d give it a go. Filling: 1 lbContinue reading “Pork & Mushroom Ravioli with Carrot Puree”

Homemade Cajun Sausage & Peppers

I made some cajun sausages the other day and was trying to think of a way to serve it. Sausage and peppers! I ended up air frying the sausage whole for 14 minutes and it was so crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Sausage: 2 lbs Pork Butt; cubed 1 lb PorkContinue reading “Homemade Cajun Sausage & Peppers”

Green Chile Pork Tamales

My husband and I go out every Saturday to a new local international market and pick a meal to make from ingredients we find there. This week we went to Philipe’s Market and decided on tamales! I’d only ever tried them once as a child and wasn’t a fan, but my husband loves them! I’mContinue reading “Green Chile Pork Tamales”

Air Fryer Teriyaki Chicken Thighs

I told myself that if I was going to have pasta for dinner, I’d need to make it from scratch. I really wanted to make my Panda Express Chow Mein, so I made Chinese Five Spice egg noodles. Way better than the boxed stuff! I also made Air Fryer Teriyaki Chicken Thighs, fresh edamame, pickledContinue reading “Air Fryer Teriyaki Chicken Thighs”
