Creole Pork Stew

It’s braising week at school and I wanted to kick it off with some delicious Creole Pork Stew. It’s so hearty, delicious and packed with flavor! Searing the pork first is key in getting the amazing complex flavor. Pork:  2 lbs Pork Stew Meat Salt and Pepper to taste — Vegetables:  1 large Onion; choppedContinue reading “Creole Pork Stew”

Air Fryer Burger Croquettes

These were so good! We couldn’t decide on a sauce to serve it with, I chose gravy and Andrew chose BBQ sauce. Very tasty either way. Potatoes: 2 lbs Russet Potatoes; peeled and cubed 1 large Onion; chopped 2 Tablespoons Butter 4 oz Cream Cheese 2 cloves Garlic; minced 2 large Eggs ½ cup A/PContinue reading “Air Fryer Burger Croquettes”

Irish Colcannon

This is a St. Patrick’s Day staple! It’s hearty, quick and so easy! You can substitute collard greens or any other green leafy vegetable you like. I prefer cabbage and leeks because of their toothy texture once sautéed. 2 lbs Russet Potatoes; peeled and cubed ½ cup Onion; sliced 2 cloves Garlic; Sliced 2 cupsContinue reading “Irish Colcannon”

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”

One Pan Lime Glazed Salmon Dinner

I love one pan meals! I don’t have a bunch of pans to babysit and clean up is a cinch. The salmon isn’t too sweet and has a nice pop of citrus. You can certainly swap out the vegetables, just make sure they are similarly sized so they cook evenly and don’t dry out. Potatoes: 2Continue reading “One Pan Lime Glazed Salmon Dinner”

Chicken Cottage Pie

I know, I know. Cottage pie is filled with beef and not chicken. But I love to switch it up from time to time. Whatever you’d like to call it, it was stinking amazing! I actually ended up liking it more than the traditional cottage or shepherd’s pie. Filling: 2 large Chicken Breasts; cubed 1Continue reading “Chicken Cottage Pie”

Skillet Chicken Pot Pie

There are few dishes that are as comforting and hearty as chicken pot pie. This is my weeknight version. You can certainly make homemade crust, but store-bought works in a pinch and it’s a major hit with kids and adults alike! 1 Pie Crust 1 medium Egg; whisked 2 large Chicken Breasts; cubed 1 largeContinue reading “Skillet Chicken Pot Pie”

Broccoli Cheddar Scalloped Potatoes

Yes, but have you ever made Scalloped Potatoes with Broccoli Cheddar Soup? SO delicious!! My baby brothers were in town and they eat out…a LOT. So I’m sending them home with something they can pop in the oven for 30 minutes. I saved one for tomorrow’s dinner, so that’ll make my day easier. 4-5 cupsContinue reading “Broccoli Cheddar Scalloped Potatoes”

Curried Goat

This was my first time cooking and eating goat, which is odd because we’ve been raising them for years. I’d always heard that it was really gamey, so I made sure to marinade it a good long while. It was amazing and so tender. I’ll definitely be making it again. The turmeric yellow rice andContinue reading “Curried Goat”
