february breakfast sandwich

This is possibly the most awesome vegetarian breakfast sandwich I have made for myself. I was so sick of meat. Yesterday, I ate probably two pounds of hamburger and I’ve just been feeling sick to my stomach and disgusted and wanting nothing to do with meat. I’ve consumed enough to last me two weeks. I [...]

keld’s dutch steak

I really like this technique for cooking steaks. I picked it up from the Amateur Gourmet. Nice and browned on the outside edges and barely bloody on the inside.  Salt and pepper your meat for a minimum of fifteen minutes before cooking. Heat your pan to the highest setting with about one tablespoon of butter [...]

Creamy turkey soup

Made this from leftover turkey. I know that this is more of an after-Thanksgiving type of recipe, but I had an extra turkey in the freezer that I cooked.  Soup is a great way to use up leftovers and thing you would usually throw away. Also works well with a couple of picked-over chickens. For [...]

my aunt’s stuffing

My aunt made this amazing stuffing for Christmas dinner. I know it’s not Christmas day anymore but it’s okay to have a family dinner the Monday after. I honestly think this is the tastiest stuffing I’ve had. 6 cups crumbled cornbread (to be cooked prior to this) 4 apples (cooking apples) 2 sprigs parsley 2 [...]

nectarine steak

Petite Sirloin Salt Pepper Cayenne 4 tablespoons of butter 1 Nectarine Honey I’m sure most of you have cooked a steak before but for this steak I used Adam Roberts’, from the Amateur Gourmet, tip for cooking steaks like they do in restaurants. Before I cook any type of meat, I always season and allow [...]

tuna salad sandwich

Here’s a little something I came up with when I wasn’t sure what to make. I just threw some stuff from the cupboard together and it turned out great. The rice sounds weird, but it’s really good and helps extend the tuna when you only have one can. 1 can tuna 1 c cooked rice [...]

shoestring spaghetti

I ate all of what I made just to stay full but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it could have been. I hope I can remember what I did. I think it involved the following: One half a box or bag of spaghetti noodles One can of roasted diced tomatoes 3 garlic cloves [...]

curry pineapple rice

I would love to share a picture of what I just made, and my last meal for that matter. I don’t have a camera. We will just have to imagine what these meals look like until I purchase a camera to take pictures. You can tell when my pantry is getting low and these are [...]
