Each week I try to not be the worst cook in America
This week my boyfriend proposed to me. Since he gave me a ring, I gave him the next best thing... a TACO RING! This was a fun twist on our traditional Taco Tuesday, and it did not disappoint! Not only was this such a fun dinner to make, but it was really easy and super… Continue reading Week 41: Taco Crescent Ring
There are some weeks where you want a yummy dinner, but you just don't feel like destroying your kitchen. For me, week 40 was that week. After a busy weekend, this recipe for BBQ potato chip chicken was exactly what I was looking for. We had a two bowl clean up and an absolutely delicious… Continue reading Week 40: BBQ Potato Chip Chicken
Growing up in Baltimore, MD, one of my favorite meals was a crab cake. I have always loved eating crabs but sometimes the task of picking the shells clean is not ideal. Therefore, crab cakes were a special treat where someone else picked all the meat from the shell for me, and mixed it all… Continue reading Week 37: Maryland Crab Cake
This week was really a machine take over in my kitchen! Not only did I use my Instant Pot, but I also used my brand new GoWISE air fryer - which I am obsessed with, by the way! When I get a new kitchen appliance, I have to use it immediately. While I can't wait to make chicken… Continue reading Week 36: Chimichangas
This week was an extremely exciting week because I got to cook for my whole family, including extended family! Usually I cook for just myself and my boyfriend, but this week I cooked for 12 people! Cooking for so many people meant the pressure was on, but it was also exciting to share my cooking… Continue reading Week 35: Baked Dijon Honey Garlic Chicken
I have been on an Asian kick recently, and this week in honor of Labor Day, I made an Asian-American fusion dish! These Korean slaw hot dogs meant I got to make a dish with kimchi, and gave me the opportunity to make my own "fancy" hot dog. The ingredient list at first glance is INSANELY LONG!… Continue reading Week 34: Korean Slaw Hot Dog
This week I decided to take on a classic - Spaghetti and Meatballs! I chose this dish because I am battling a cold and when I'm sick, all I crave is soup and comfort foods. This dish is surprisingly easy and did not take very long to make. The longest process is the sauce, as… Continue reading Week 32: Spaghetti and Meatballs
Last weeks attempt at making fried chicken, and succeeding at it, influenced me to attempt another daunting dish. SCALLOPS. I have read numerous times that is it so easy to overcook scallops and they can turn rubbery. Truthfully, overcooking might as well be my middle name. But, putting all fears aside and still living off… Continue reading Week 29: Scallops with a Corn Salad and Parmesan Risotto
One of my most favorite foods is fried chicken. I have the biggest fear of butchering one of my favorite meals, but I figured it was time to attempt this difficult dish. I fried chicken wings in week 3 but there is a difference between crispy wings and that extra crispy restaurant quality chicken. Shockingly, I… Continue reading Week 28: Fried Chicken Sandwhich
This week I came across an enticing side dish, and decided that a nice delicious steak would go perfectly with a marinated zucchini, caramelized onion and tomato salad. I first started by seasoning the Ribeye steak with olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder, and then let it marinade for about 30 minutes. Next I… Continue reading Week 27: Grilled Ribeye with Marinated Zucchini, Onion and Tomato Salad
