    Best Ever! Zucchini Bread

    07/19 /No Comments

    I have made a ton of zucchini bread with different variations and have finally found THE BEST EVER! I have made this twice this week already and have requests for more. This recipe is perfect consistency, flavor and balance of spice with sweet. Of course you can always substitute things such as sugar, oil and spices but as this one is it really is perfect! Enjoy and I would love to hear from y’all what you think! Super moist and perfect balance of fresh zucchini and spices!

    Pork The Other White Meat

    07/18 /1 Comment

    A couple of weeks ago I cooked a 3lb pork roast on the grill. I didn’t realize how much meat that would render but I soon learned you can eat on that for a week easy! Problem is you don’t want just pulled pork so I was creative and am sharing the many ways you can use pork. Hope y’all enjoy! Side note: I will only use leftovers for three days then they are trashed. I have included three recipes below that I made with this pork recipe. Tickled with how well this turned out! I don't have a smoker but slow cooking on indirect heat produced great results!  Here…

    Cast Iron Skillet Lasagna

    05/21 /No Comments

    I love love love lasagna! We haven’t been able to find a spot I consider great since moving to Colorado so I decided to make my own! I used my cast iron skillet of course and couldn’t be happier with the results. Okay maybe a touch more sauce, cause I like it saucy, would have been my only change. Can’t wait for y’all to try it and let me know what you think! I used regular-boil lasagna noodles since I personally am not a fan of oven ready. This also cuts the time down to an already very time consuming recipe!

    Best Pizza Ever!

    04/26 /No Comments

    As y’all know I am a homemade kinda cook. After spending way too much on pizza that I didn’t like from restaurants I decided to tackle homemade pizza dough! I have tweaked and merged a few recipes together and voila! Have found the perfect mix. In stand mixer mixing bowl stir together the warm water, sugar & yeast. Attach your dough hook and let stand until the mixture is foamy, about 10 minutes. While the yeast is proofing, combine flour, and salt in a separate mixing bowl. Once the yeast is foamy, add the flour/salt mixture & olive oil to the bowl and turn on mixer to about speed 3…

    Venezuelan Empanada’s

    01/29 /1 Comment

    Got this recipe from a friend of mine and I love empanada’s! If you have older kids, this is fun to make with them. Prep Harina Pan as indicated on package. Don’t add sugar however it isn’t necessary. You want a wet but pliable consistency in order to form the dough. (refrigerate for 30 min) While dough is in the refrigerator make your filling. Here are a few examples of what you can make to fill: Taco meat and queso fresco Shredded chicken and cheese Sweet plantain and shredded beef Ham and cheese Dough Prep: Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thick.
