Feta and Spinach Turkey Burgers with Roasted Red Pepper Mayo

Posted on April 22, 2011 | 1 comment

Many different elements came together both in and on the burgers.  There was garlic sauteed spinach, fresh feta, and jalapenos in the burgers and a roasted red pepper mayo spread on the fresh baked buns.  We did not make the buns, but got them in the Strip District where we get most of our cooking supplies.  These were made the same night as Roasted Red Pepper Bisque and I kept a bit of the peppers aside for the mayo spread.

Tomato Vodka Sauce

Posted on April 17, 2011 | 1 comment

When I was younger and my family would go out for Italian dinners I would often get the penne or rigatoni ala vodka (aka a tomato vodka cream sauce). For some reason I forgot all about my love for this sauce until I came across a recipe for it one day as I was reading blogs. Luckily, this sauce was super easy to make and just as decadent as I remember. We served it with sausage for some added protein and spaghetti squash instead of pasta. It was divine! I encourage you to try this, you won’t be disappointed.  Continue reading →

No Tortilla Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Bake

Posted on April 12, 2011 | 50 comments

What to do when you want chicken enchiladas but you don’t have any tortillas? Make this and you won’t even miss ’em! This is all the good stuff of the chicken enchiladas you know and love without all the needless filler of tortillas. You’re probably a little unsure right now about not using tortillas… which is very understandable.  I’m here to tell you that we really enjoyed this a lot and realized that the tortillas were never really that necessary after all.  Maybe you’ll agree.

Roasted Red Pepper Bisque

Posted on April 7, 2011 | Leave a comment

Sorry for the lack of posts recently.  Bizzy!  This was an end of winter soup that was pretty easy, filling, and tasty.  It is a bit time consuming but not with full attention steps throughout.  Red pepper has such a great taste and with a little extra spice added it was wonderful!

Cheeseburger Soup

Posted on March 28, 2011 | 3 comments

I once saw a Diners, Drive Ins and Dives episode that featured a place that made cheeseburger soup and I wanted to make it really badly. Something about it sounded so good to me, but time wore on and I kind of forgot about it. Recently, I saw that one the blogs I frequent featured their own recipe for cheeseburger soup and since the recipe was right there and all I decided to go for it… and I am so happy I did! I am still thinking about it and I made it quite a while ago 🙂

Italian Wedding Soup

Posted on March 23, 2011 | 2 comments

Amazing!  I have always loved Italian Wedding Soup but have never tried to make it.  We were turned on to this recipe by a visit to Eileen’s dad recently.  We like Lidia, and it is a recipe of hers which featured a step that I had not seen before and of course it worked out perfectly and was genius.

Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

This was the other superbowl dish.  Not as easy as the sausage dip, but not too bad.  They can be pan fried or baked, these were pan fried.

Super easy Sausage Dip

Posted on March 7, 2011 | 1 comment

This super easy sausage dip was made on superbowl Sunday.  It’s taken a while to get around to posting it, still recovering.  This was a recipe from a colleague that had a well established reputation as being “addictive”.  It follows through with the promised ease and the hit of the party status.

Turkish Chicken Thighs with Tahini Yogurt

Posted on March 1, 2011 | 2 comments

Thanks to my sis we now receive Bon Appetit magazine! This recipe comes from the January 2011 issue. I adapted it in a couple of ways. First, I nixed the pomegranate relish that was supposed to accompany it and secondly, I used chicken thighs instead of making kebobs with breast meat.  Once it’s grilling season I would love to make this again, this time by making the kebobs. The thighs came out great though too!
