Everyday Noodle Bake This is a recipe I almost didn’t write because I wasn’t sure it constituted a recipe but I have come back to it a few times lately and find myself talking about it quite a but so I figured; it’s a recipe! This is just a way to switch up everyday spaghetti and meat sauce (not there is anything wrong with that!), similar in ...

Sous Vide Teriyaki Steak Bites with Broccoli and Peppers
Sous Vide Teriyaki Steak Bites with Broccoli and Peppers I chose to use my Sous vide here because I wanted to use tough stewing beef cubes, I find the flavour is intense but the meat does need to be cooked low and slow to break the tough muscles down. Alternatively you can simplify this recipe by using a steak, I’d go with sirloin - cube the ...
Loaded Beef Enchiladas
Loaded Beef Enchiladas I’m sure every family has one dish or cuisine that everyone can agree on. For our family that cuisine is Mexican but more specifically Tex-Mex. We all love tacos, burritos, nachos and now in addition to loaded chicken enchiladas, we love this dish ❤️ Also, not to tease but I have a beef burrito bowl recipe coming ...
Stuffed Poblano Peppers
Stuffed Poblano Peppers This is everything that is great and amazing about a beef burrito but it’s stuffed into a roasted Poblano pepper then topped with cheese and finally baked to perfection. In case you’ve never had a Poblano pepper, it tastes just like a jalapeño pepper without the heat but it’s much firmer than a sweet bell pepper. That’s ...

Rustic Skillet Shepherd’s Pie
Rustic Skillet Shepherd’s Pie I can't even tell you where I first saw the recipe that inspired this dish; it was years ago and I think I saw something interesting in a magazine??? I think it was a magazine. This is the perfect dish for autumn in my humble opinion. I say this because its extra rich and hearty so after a summer of light ...
Loaded Beef Nachos
Loaded Beef Nachos This is one of the very few meals that my family will agree on. My children go bonkers for these nachos. In fact my daughter has been requesting them for a month! I have this listed as an appetizer but it’s more than enough as a meal for our family of 4. If you look close you’ll notice that the corn is only on one ...
Soft Beef Tacos
Soft Beef Tacos When I was about 13 my mother said I could make dinner for our family. I made beef tacos with one of those store bought kits. I was so excited! I cooked the beef mixture, chopped the veggies, shredded the cheese, poured out the sauces and warmed the shells, all by myself! When it came time to eat, my Italian father had no idea how ...
Spicy Skillet Lasagna with a Rose Sauce
Spicy Skillet Lasagna with a Rose Sauce I’m a bit of an odd ball, I admit it; I love the summer heat but also love hearty, rich, cheesy casserole – even in the heat. It’s soul soothing, at least to me. What makes me somewhat more relatable is the fact that I’m a working mom (full time, outside my blog… with terrible rush hour ...
Sweet and Sour Meatballs
Sweet and Sour Meatballs There’s a reason some things become classics; they’re awesome! Enter meatballs, any variety for a party. Today I’ve revamped sweet and sour meatballs, by using extra lean beef, whole wheat bread, baking the meat balls and sodium-reduced ingredients; these meatballs are all around healthier. Noting that, I must point out, ...
Spaghetti and Meatballs
Spaghetti and Meatballs So I think I have stressed how much I love taking fatty food and making it low fat and healthy but have I stressed my other passion? I love getting this done in under an hour! That’s right; spaghetti and meatballs that are low fat and done in under an hour. I’m the modern day nonna except I’m 34 … and blond! Besides ...
Instant Pot Teriyaki Beef
Instant Pot Teriyaki Beef I'm not afraid to admit it, when certain groceries go on sale I stock my freezer, enter stewing beef cubes. I wanted to use my Instant Pot but wanted something different. You know those aha moments that open your eyes to a whole new world? Well, that's what this was. Beef teriyaki with melt-in-your-mouth beef thanks ...
