Perfect Peas
Perfect Peas It’s bizarre; the one AND only vegetable everyone in my house will eat is peas. Specifically frozen peas because they’re so convenient. I grabbed the bag from the freezer, ready to warm it the same old way and then I said NO! I knew it was a gamble but I want more out of life. So I googled... lo and behold, I found ...

Chicken Parmesan
Chicken Parmesan Chicken parmesan is one of those foods that people assume is difficult and time consuming, or fattening; wrong!

Loaded Beef Enchiladas

Classic Shrimp Stir Fry
Classic Shrimp Stir Fry I am a sucker for a great stir fry! The more veggies, the better - crispy, crunchy deliciousness 😋 On this particular day I wanted a sauce like teriyaki but not teriyaki, you know what I mean 🤷♀️🤗 This is how I did it: In a deep pan, preheat the oil on high. When it’s hot (it will ripple) add the ...
