You’re also very likely to catch me eating a pickle as a quick snack ☺️ Oooh ...

Warm Potato Salad

June 3, 2024 By Lisa

Warm Potato Salad I LisaGCooks.com

Warm Potato Salad The humble potato. Incredible. Versatile. Delicious. I love making this dish because I can switch up the potato I use, the vinaigrette and the herbs thereby creating a totally different potato salad with each simple twist. Years ago I made this with a boyfriend’s mother for a bbq I was attending. I was going for white wine ...

Mexican Fried Rice I LisaGCooks.com

Mexican Fried Rice I can't stand wasting food!  I made burritos and I happened to make too much rice (which of course had a can of black beans added to it). I love burritos.  So off topic.   A spicy, crunchy Tex-Mex rice recipe. The leftover rice is completely transformed, I predict you'll start cooking a lot extra ...

Cheesy Potato Wedges with Pulled Pork

March 17, 2024 By Lisa 3 Comments

Cheesy Potato Wedges with Pulled Pork So I'm going to start this with saying portion control is key; throw in a Green Salad to complete the meal and this is totally do-able as a dinner for 4-6 people.  Yes; potatoes, cheese and pulled pork but considering how bad the numbers could be I think we're good 😊. Now I'm going to tell you a story, ...
