I like to eat, and I like to cook. Why not bring others along on my journey?

Pasta Carbonara

I called Gram on my way home from work, and we were discussing life and recipes. That got my craving going for homemade Pasta Carbonara, and I had to run to the store and buy the ingredients. It was amazing!

Yummy Lasagna

For dinner we had Lasagna, and it was even better than I had hoped. I think I’ll rest well tonight!

Hidden Veggie Pasta

At my Pampered Chef meeting, we made Hidden Veggie Pasta Sauce in our Deluxe Cooking Blender. For our sweet treat, we made a Quick Cooker Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bundt Cake, which was amazing!

Ginger Sesame Pork Chops with Mashed Potatoes

For dinner, we tested out a new Pampered Chef Meal Starter Sauce in the Quick Cooker. We tossed some frozen Pork Chops in and poured one jar of the Ginger Sesame Starter Sauce over it. Then, we put all the ingredients for the Mashed Potatoes into the Ceramic Pot and added it to the Quick Cooker. Close the lid, push a button, and viola! Dinner was ready in no time at all.

Friday Night Spaghetti Surprise

Jennifer and Sophie were slaving over the stove when I returned home from work. They were whipping up a batch of their Spaghetti. It was tasty and appreciated.

Broccoli Stuffed Chicken Breast

Morgan too good care of us today by making us Broccoli Stuffed Chicken Breast, Green Beans and Stuffing. It was very kind of her and appreciated.

Ribs & Shrimp

I ate BBQ Ribs, Pow Wow Shrimp, Seasoned Rice and Seasonal Vegetables, which turned out to be Asparagus. It was amazing and much better than I had even hoped it would be. I topped it off by washing it down with a bottle of Yuengling Light.

Mediterranean Braised Chicken

We had Mediterranean Braised Chicken complete was Artichoke Hearts, Olives, Tomatoes and seasoned Feta Cheese. We cooked it in our Rockcrok on the stove, in the microwave and under the broiler.

Rio Grande Nachos

I know the recipe calls it “Rio Grande Dip,” but it was big enough to feed all of us. We turned it into an amazing Rio Grande Nacho dinner. The dip is made in a Rockcrok on the stove and in the oven. It was amazing!
