Chicken Guacamole Sandwich

August 18, 2014

Adding avocado to pretty much anything makes it better. Salad, sandwiches, wraps, appetizers. But I’m a sucker for guacamole. A bowl of some really good, creamy guacamole and some chips could last me all day. So we made a chicken guacamole sandwich and it was delicious. We took our Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich that we made last week, and added guacamole. It was so hot out, we wanted something cold,…

Mac and Cheese

June 13, 2014

Mac and cheese is a signature dinner in my family. Not that we’re the only family that makes mac and cheese, but I grew up on a fair share of mac and cheese. Only reserved for family party nights, sleep-overs, and when one of my cousins would babysit us, mac and cheese was the main course. And not just any mac and cheese, but homemade baked macaroni and cheese. You know, the…

This meal is really easy to make. Once you have the meat mixed and patties formed for the turkey burger sliders,…

Vegetarian Chili

If you’re looking for a trimmed down chili that’s still hearty, look no further. Choosing to withhold mammal protein from your tummy? No worries, this vegetarian chili is for you! Basically loaded with beans, beans, beans, corn, beans, spices, and more beans, this vegetarian chili is deliciously satisfying.

Anniversary Dinner

February 24, 2014

A few weeks ago, Fatima and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary. To celebrate, we were going to go out to a dinner. However, a wonderful snow storm decided to come through NYC – again! The restaurant called the day before and said they were not sure if they would be closing early , but wanted to give me a heads up. I decided to cancel the reservations and make…

Shrimp and Egg Fried Quinoa

February 3, 2014

Like all foodie fads that pop up, we were a little weary of trying quinoa. I don’t know if it’s the look or the name, but we were scared. Then, we went to Stephanie’s house for a pre-party, where she served some delicious quinoa tacos. Fear no more. Our first quinoa experience was great. We substituted quinoa for rice when we made turkey chili. Then we made a simple dish…

Slow Cooker Tacos

December 19, 2013

Ughghg you know I how I feel about the crock pot. Set it and forget it – yes not the right tag line, but it works. I love being able to prepare my meals in the morning before work, throw it in the crock pot, let it slow cook all day while we’re at work, and come home and dinner is ready. We made these delicious slow cooker tacos last…

Turkey Biscuit Pie

December 18, 2013

Wowzers! This was delicious. While flipping through out latest issue of Food Network magazine, we came across a recipe for Turkey Biscuit Pie. While this recipe calls for baking it in a skillet, we used a 9inch pan, and instead of making the biscuits from scratch, we went for Pillsbury Homestyle Southern Grands. Yes we took the easy road, but it was so work it. One day we’ll make another…

Inside Out Chicken Parm

September 17, 2013

What did I say, inside out chicken parm? What a concept! I wanted to make some really good chicken parm, but thought I could change it up. We’ve stuffed chicken with cheese, bacon, and spinach. So I thought, why not take the parm outside, and move it to the inside? So that’s what we did. We took the thick chicken breasts and carved out a little pocket on the side.…

Strawberry Summer Salad

June 18, 2013

Yum, yum, yum. This Strawberry Summer Salad was inspired by a salad Fatima had in Key West. It was very refreshing and we knew it would be perfect for the summer. We topped off the Strawberry Summer Salad with a homemade strawberry vinaigrette dressing. It’s really easy to make. All you would need to “cook” up are the walnuts. The rest is normal “salad-making” skill. The strawberry vinaigrette dressing was just…
