Eat ‘Em and Weep
This dish is fantastic! Definitely tastes like something you would get at a restaurant. The best part…it’s quick and easy. Certainly company worthy.
Recipe is adapted from a recipe in the June 2010 issue of Cooking Light.
Ingredients:
3 tsp. olive oil
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp. ground chipotle chile powder (1 dried chipotle, […]
This sauce recipe is awesome! It tastes like something you would get in a restaurant. The original recipe calls for cooking the sauce for 4 minutes, but I like the flavors when the sauce is simmered for a longer period of time…it’s richer and bolder. But if time is short, you can certainly cook the […]
This crock pot dinner is really tasty, and the leftovers were delicious too. The recipe comes from the March 2009 issue of Cooking Light. I thought the original recipe called for way too much salt, so I didn’t add the salt, other than to season the beef prior to searing it, and boy am I […]
We went to Thanksgiving dinner at a friend’s house this year and we were tasked with desserts. We brought a traditional pumpkin pie, chocolate chip cheesecake bars, and pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting. The pumpkin cake was pretty good, especially if you love pumpkin and spice cakes, and for that reason I would give […]
It’s getting cold outside and that means it’s time for soups and chilis…my favorite time of year! And it’s no secret that I live chili, and I really do love Cincinnati chili. I’ve made two other versions: Cincinnati Chili and Cincinnati Chili Take 2.
This version was quite tasty and we had enough for a few […]
I’m always will to try a great new salsa to top chicken tacos or fish tacos. This salsa is so summery and refreshing, and it went great as a topper for fish tacos.
I saw a recipe for jicama salad in the March 2009 issue of Cooking Light, which was the initial inspiration of my mango […]
Chicken shawarma is so good. If you’ve never tried it, seek out your nearest middle eastern restaurant and try some. If you’re like us and live somewhere where there are no middle eastern restaurants, this recipe comes close to some of the yummiest shawarma sandwiches I’ve ever had (be mindful that bad shawarma is just […]
This recipe comes from the December 2008 issue of Cooking Light. The soup is delicious!!! I substituted tofu for the chicken, but I think any protein would be really tasty. Don’t be scared by the list of ingredients, because it comes together really quickly. We will definitely make this one again.
Ingredients:
4 c. […]
These cookies were really good, although I thought the toffee kind of got lost in the cookie, so maybe add more toffee bits than the original recipe calls for. This recipe is adapted from the oatmeal toffee cookies found in the December 2008 issue of Cooking Light.
Ingredients:
3.4 ounces all-purpose flour (about 3/4 […]
This recipe comes from the November 2008 issue of Cooking Light. After seeing the recipe in the magazine, I wasted little time putting it on the weekly menu. We love tamales, so why not a tamale casserole, without having the work of making tamales!! Win win for sure, and the casserole didn’t disappoint. You could […]
