Sometimes all you need is a big bowl of Italian pasta salad. It’s such an awesome way of using up the extra odds and ends in the kitchen. I had extra pasta, chicken and pepperoni that needed to be eaten so in they went! 4 ½ cups Pasta; cooked ½ cup Black Olives; sliced ½Continue reading “Chicken & Pepperoni Pasta Salad”

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”
Everything Bagel Deviled Eggs
Is it really a cookout if there aren’t deviled eggs? They’re one of my favorite things to bring to potlucks and they don’t stick around long. I used the base for my Bloomin’ Onion Deviled Eggs and just topped it with homemade Everything Bagel Seasoning instead of French fried onions. They were so tangy andContinue reading “Everything Bagel Deviled Eggs”
Copycat Panda Express Cream Cheese Rangoons
I love Panda Express’ Crab Rangoons and they’re so easy to make! Oddly enough, they don’t use crab or imitation crab in their original recipe. Feel free to add some though, it’s delicious! My local Panda Express offers 3 for $2.35. Buying the ingredients myself, I have enough to make 50 Rangoons for just shyContinue reading “Copycat Panda Express Cream Cheese Rangoons”
Old Bay Battered Onion Rings
The side dish from day 4 of my #pantrychallenge The Old Bay Onions Rings I made as a midnight snack last night and the side for the Baked Buffalo Drumsticks! I was concerned that the Sprite would make them too sweet, but I was so wrong. They were so stinking good! It fried up asContinue reading “Old Bay Battered Onion Rings”
Jerk Chicken Skewers
I made enough of the spice mixture to fill the mason jar, it was that good! I prepped all the skewers last night, then just threw them on my griddle for lunch. Served with steamed rice and sautéed Cinnamon Butter Sweet Potatoes, they’re a quick, low calorie, high flavor supper! 2 lbs Chicken Breast; cubedContinue reading “Jerk Chicken Skewers”
Copycat Sausage Bacon and Egg McGriddles
I was craving a McGriddle minus the $4.50 price tag. 80¢ is much more my tune! These little bad boys freeze really well, so I made a dozen. Pancakes: 1 ½ cups Flour 2 teaspoons Baking Powder 1 teaspoon Salt 2 teaspoon Sugar 1 ¼ cup whole Milk 1 large Egg 4 Tablespoons Butter 2Continue reading “Copycat Sausage Bacon and Egg McGriddles”
Cheese & Wild Rice Stuffed Mushrooms
This is a stellar appetizer for game day, holidays or get togethers. It’s savory, creamy and packed full of flavor! The cream cheese really adds to the texture and richness, but if you’re not a fan, goat cheese makes an amazing substitution. You can also add different minced vegetables with great results. My personal favoritesContinue reading “Cheese & Wild Rice Stuffed Mushrooms”
Air Fryer Zucchini Crab Rangoons
My Air Fryer Zucchini Crab Rangoons! The last time I got Rangoons at my local Chinese place there wasn’t even a teaspoon of filling in them. I really wasn’t happy! Mine are plump pillows of deliciousness. I don’t normally add zucchini, but I had so much of it I needed to use. You can, ofContinue reading “Air Fryer Zucchini Crab Rangoons”
Cantina Style Salsa
I’m kind of a brat when it comes to salsa. I grew up eating hole-in-the-wall restaurant style cantina salsa and all those premade grocery store shelf jars always tasted too sweet and processed. So now I just make my own. It goes great with my Carne Asada Tacos, tortilla chips and Green Chile Chicken Chimichangas!Continue reading “Cantina Style Salsa”
