NoPimento Cheese

Can I still call it pimento cheese if I technically don’t use any pimento peppers?🤔 Truth be told, they’re not my favorite.🤫 I prefer to use diced jalapeños or sundried tomatoes. I also like to add bacon for added texture and a hint of smokiness.🥓👍 I grew up eating pimento […]

My Mexican Pizza

I used to frequent Taco Bell as a teenager and would always order the Mexican pizza. This week, I decided to switch up taco night and try to replicate the pizza from memory.  I found a bottle of Taco Bell’s mild sauce at the grocery store. I remember the pizza […]

Mississippi Pot Roast

I did not invent this delightful dish but want to share my version for those of you who haven’t made it yet. It’s juicy, savory and simply delicious.😋 I changed a couple of ingredients from the more traditional recipe. For instance, I used beef broth instead of an au jus […]

Easy Fajita Bowls

You can create so many meals with fajita mix! I enjoy making traditional fajitas with soft tortillas. I also love it on nachos. Lately though, I’ve been playing around with starches. 🍚🍜🍲  First, let’s start with the rice bowl. I like to use the rice in a bag because it is […]

Slider Classroom

Casserole State of Mind

It all started last week with a potato casserole. Some may refer to it as hamburger casserole but it’s the one with alternating layers of sliced potatoes, ground beef and cream of mushroom with onion. I like to top mine with shredded cheese because everything is just better with cheddar.🤣🧀👍 […]

Frychos

“Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.” – Winston Churchill My cornerstones of quarantine have been potatoes, cheese, frozen chicken breasts and a little ingenuity. This dish embodies all of my newfound culinary principles. I’m choosing to embrace limitations as a challenge instead of a handicap. For […]

Stir Crazy Bread

I was making tortellini last night and craved some garlic bread to go with it. Gone are the days when you just dash in the store for a random item (at least for now). So you make do. Every day. However, it is up to you to decide if you will […]

S’moredom

Is there anybody out there?👀 How is everyone in the blogosphere doing in this period of social distancing? We’re ok over here in the mood ring kitchen. Just a little bored. However, boredom can often lead to creativity.  My cooking style could be described as “use what you got” which […]
