Poblano Corn Pasta
A Pasta Dish to remember I don’t know about you but I have been craving pasta and this Poblano & Corn pasta gives me everything I want and NEED right now. Â It is rich, creamy, a little spicy and just plain YUMMY! Â Grill It Up… One of the things I love most about this recipe is the grilled poblanos and grilled corn. Â Now I understand it is not grilling season but no worries you can either roast them or use an indoor grill pan and get just about the same effect. That is what makes this pasta a great option year round… you can grill everything outside or inside.…

Skillet Coconut Chicken & Rice
One Skillet and Done! I am a SUCKER for one skillet dinners. There is just something so satisfying about having just a few things to clean-up after cooking a whole meal for dinner. This Burrito skillet has everything you want for a complete dinner but all made in one skillet, making clean-up a breeze and dinner is done in no time. Toast the Rice! YES… I said to toast the rice. Don’t worry though I am not throwing rice into the toaster or the toaster oven, it’s all done in the skillet. Why should we toast the rice? Let’s Talk Chicken When it comes to Chicken and Rice…

bring on the orzo…
It’s start in the browning… Now the orzo makes this dish special but what really takes it over the top is the chicken and creamy sauce. To start building the flavor and to make the chicken stand out it all starts with browning it. When you season it (really well) and then put it in a HOT skillet magic happens. A deep brown crust starts to form and creates a delicious seal that keeps are the yummy juices inside the chicken…where they belong. Now as good as that sounds…it is just the beginning. All together now Now after the chicken is all nice and brown it is time for the real…

Instant Pot Corned Beef & Cabbage
St. Patricks Day is just a round the corner and according to my dad that means it is time for Corned Beef and Cabbage. A few years ago I decided to fix it for him instead of taking him out, and I am so glad I did. It was his last St Patricks Day with us and he loved it as did I. Everything in one pot The beauty of the instant pot is that you literally can cook everything in one pot. That means one pot to clean up when everything is all said and done…I so LOVE that!! OK, well maybe one pot and a cutting board but…

Veggie Enchilada Stack
It is a Veggie Enchilada Stack kinda night. Veggies, chicken, beans, cheese and tortillas sound like a must make dinner. It’s all about the veggies… The beauty of this recipe is you can use whatever veggies you have on hand (or whatever ones your family will eat). This time around I stuck with squash, zucchini and peppers. Next time I am going to throw in some eggplant and possibly mushrooms for even more heartiness. One of the secrets of this dish is to season every layer, including the veggies. I kept it simple with just some salt, pepper and chili powder but made sure there was enough to make…

Teriyaki Salmon will turn anyone into a salmon lover in no time. Perfectly cooked salmon covered in a delicious homemade teriyaki sauce that comes together in NO TIME! Ain’t your momma’s salmon Growing up the closest we got to salmon was the canned version made into croquette patties. As much as I loved those croquettes as I grew up I started to appreciate just how good fresh salmon really could be. There are so many options from grilling to roasting to pan searing. For some fun recipes, check out this Grilled Salmon or this Chili Rubbed Salmon for a little extra kick. I will say though this Teriyaki version is quickly…
