Easy Beef & Lamb Gyros

Gyros sounded really delicious! I wish I could have used just lamb, but it was ridiculously expensive. I wanted to try making pita bread and they turned out amazing and my house smells so delicious! Meat: 1 pound lean Ground Beef 1 pound Ground Lamb 2 cloves Garlic; grated 1 small Onion; grated 1 teaspoonContinue reading “Easy Beef & Lamb Gyros”

Jalapeno Cheddar Burgers

Andrew and I went to a German butcher last weekend and they had jalapeño cheddar burger patties that really intrigued us. They were $6.50 a burger, so I wanted to see if I could recreate them just a little cheaper. I made some everything bagel seasoning buns to go with them. They were really delicious!Continue reading “Jalapeno Cheddar Burgers”

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”

BBQ Bacon Beef Sliders

Finally! The BBQ bacon sliders! I was going to make them yesterday, but got home from work around midnight and was too exhausted to eat. So today’s the day! I only needed 1 pound of bacon, so naturally I baked 5 pounds. Because…bacon. 2 lbs lean Ground Beef 1 extra large Egg ¼ cup Onion;Continue reading “BBQ Bacon Beef Sliders”

Teriyaki Chicken & Broccoli

Day 29 of my #PantryChallenge The last 2 days have been pretty ick, so it was broth and sleep for me. But, I finally felt up to cooking! I got winded easily and had to take a seat more than I care to admit, but it got done. Very rustic Teriyaki Chicken & Broccoli withContinue reading “Teriyaki Chicken & Broccoli”

Sweet & Sour Pork Meatballs

Day 34 of my #PantryChallenge Dinner tonight is Sweet & Sour Meatballs over farfalle pasta! I normally make my meatballs with a 70/30 pork to beef ratio, but didn’t have any ground beef defrosted. So pork it is! This recipe also works great with ground turkey. You can, of course, use bottled sweet and sourContinue reading “Sweet & Sour Pork Meatballs”

Baked Bean Burgers

Day 13 of my 8 week #PantryChallenge I had to run errands on my lunch/dinner so I couldn’t get home to eat. Finally home and whipped up a few quick burgers. As a kid I used my burger to scoop up the beans, but now I just pile it right on top. Served with taterContinue reading “Baked Bean Burgers”

Giganticus Buffaloicus Wingicus

Day 12 of my 8 week #PantryChallenge My family never seems to eat the wings off of our Thanksgiving turkey. I’m totally ok with that! It means I can make these bad boys! Buffalo Turkey Wings or Giganticus Buffaloicus Wingicus. It’s Latin, I swear! I air fry them, and since they are already cooked throughContinue reading “Giganticus Buffaloicus Wingicus”

Vegetarian Lettuce Wraps

My body was craving vegetables and I’m sick to death of soup. I normally make my lettuce wraps with beef, chicken or turkey, but cauliflower and broccoli made an amazing substitute. Filling: 2 Tablespoons Sesame Oil 2 cups Cauliflower; chopped 2 cups Broccoli; chopped 1 cup Carrot; chopped 1 cup Leek; chopped 1 cup Onion;Continue reading “Vegetarian Lettuce Wraps”

Beef & Lamb Gyros

I spent the day processing cookbook orders and the time got away from me. Dinner is finally served! I decided to use the flatbread I made yesterday for Gyros. I highly recommend making your Tzatziki sauce! It makes all the difference. There were 4, but one didn’t make it past the stove. Meat: 1 poundContinue reading “Beef & Lamb Gyros”
