Cheesy Mexican Beef and Rice with Beans, Skillet Dinner

October 16, 2023 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Mexican beef and rice skillet I LisaGCooks.com

Cheesy Mexican Beef and Rice with Beans, Skillet Dinner This is one of those dishes that is soul-soothing-delicious.  I made this dish on a cold night and it warmed me and the house.  I love how the corn stays crunchy and by adding black beans you're significantly adding fibre and protein.  The green onions at the end give more crunch and ...

Instant Pot Teriyaki Beef I LisaGCooks.com

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 ...

March 15, 2017 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Baked Sausage and Pepper Pasta Do you ever get a craving for Ooey-gooey-saucy-cheesy pasta?  I do, and I did!  We had the promise of spring and then just like that, our dreams were dashed and we were reminded it's still February.  So after getting another snowfall ❄️❄️❄️ I receded back into my extra snuggly comfies (I know, hot right???) and I ...

Pork Stir Fry

Pork Stir Fry I LisaGCooks.com

Pork Stir Fry For the last few months I've been eating more pork than chicken, you know, the other white meat?!?  And you know what???? I've lost weight!  Not on the scale so much but judging by my clothes, they're looser.  My friends have even noticed and I swear, switching to pork from chicken is the only change I've made.  So in honour of this ...

Steak Fajita Quesadillas

Steak Fajita Quesadillas

Steak Fajita Quesadillas Maybe this sounds like an odd recipe but when you taste it, it's identical to fajita you get at a Mexican-style restaurant.  The sautéed veggies are insane and as always, quesadillas are my favourite go-to for leftover steak :) Serves 4-6 1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil, divided 227 g white button mushrooms, ...

Roasted Potato and Pepper Hash

December 12, 2016 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Roasted Potato and Pepper Hash This recipe came together in minutes and is such a keeper.  This is like a fancy version of everyone's favourite diner potato hash but the labour is minimal and by roasting it, the hash develops incredible flavour and textures as the veggies caramelize. Serve 6-8 4 Medium russet potatoes (skin on), cleaned and ...

Mexican Red-Beans with Rice

August 12, 2016 By Lisa 2 Comments

Mexican Red-Beans with Rice I made this rice dish last time we had Beef Chimichangas for dinner.  I used white rice.  There, I said it.  I used white rice.  I like white rice.  White rice is delicious but there is no way to dress it up to make it healthy.  So to stretch the naughty that is the white rice, I've added lots of onion, red pepper and ...
