Philly Cheese Steak Deep Dish Pizza, 80’s Style

I wanted to make this cheese steak pizza because I see people making them but not the way I remember eating them when I lived in Philly in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Although controversial among cheese steak ‘purists’, this is how I loved them when I lived there. So I decided to make the pizza my way… enter… ‘Processed Cheese!’ After the pizza came out of the oven a lovely layer of melted processed cheese was poured all over this beautiful deep dish and I was transformed to 1989 all over again… Now that’s what I’m talking about!

Quick Night Baked Chicken Thighs


A few weeks ago I told you about one of my easy ‘go to’ dinners which led to my Egg White Frittata. Well this dinner doesn’t lead to any other meals, but it is super easy and super delicious for an I’m just too tired to cook night. Four ingredients, (not including salt & pepper), a 350° oven and 55 minutes. Continue reading

Nachos with Mango Salsa & Guacamole

 

These easy Nachos are a quick ‘Pick-Me-Up’ when I’m hungry… they’re also great to share with your small group while watching the game… or as an after-school snack… or a late night bite! Using ingredients that are fresh off the shelf makes quick work of getting this ready in under 5 minutes.

Spinach, Mushroom & Cheese Egg White Frittata


All of us I’m sure have the Go-To dinners when you just don’t want to fuss in the kitchen. One of my Go-To favorites is Pasta Carbonara. As easy as separating a bunch of eggs and boiling some pasta. Well, now on the following day for lunch I make an Egg White Frittata with whatever I have in the refrigerator. It’s my favorite way to use up all the unused egg whites and whatever cooked veggies I have as leftovers. Plus my Hubby will eat it again for breakfast the next morning! Win, Win, Win!

Southwest Chicken Tacos

Welcome to a New Year! Let’s hope that 2021 is a good one…I was going to make my Southwest Chicken Chopped Salad the other day and one of my sons wasn’t in the ‘salad’ mood so I turned it into a Taco Night… I love the flavor combination of the chipotle ranch sauce mixed with the barbecue sauce…¡oh Dios mío! Delicioso! Continue reading

Greek Rainbow Quinoa Salad


I know I’m late to the party, but it took me until now to jump on the quinoa wagon… Now I can say I’m a fan! Wanting to make something easy that I can grab when I need a quick bite, and having way too many jars of Kalamata olives, I decided to go Greek. It turned out just what was needed for an easy ‘pick me up’ during the day. Continue reading

Egg Fried Rice with Ginger, Sriracha Mayo


During this time of isolation I’ve been working on a house to flip. I have an Interior Design background and since it’s not my nature to just sit at home, I bought a house to keep me busy. And busy it’s been. We closed April 30th and I have about a week still of work until it’s done completely. That being said, some nights when I get home I really don’t want to cook. Solution, order out… anyway, we ordered from our local Chinese Restaurant and as per normal there was a lot of leftover white rice. So for lunch the next day I made this… It was delicious!
