I really, really tried to use everything in my house before going to the grocery store, and because of this I have been getting pretty creative. I had one chicken breast, a bag of frozen mixed vegetables, frozen spicy green chilis, some chicken broth, and rice…and hence the name of this dish. First, I cut the chicken…

Butternut Squash & Asparagus Bisque
The other night, I was trying to think of what to eat for dinner, and all I knew was I needed to use the asparagus in the fridge. I was kind of sick of the normal ways I cook asparagus so I decided to invent something, and that happened to be this super tasty bisque that…
Creamy Chicken Ravioli
I was really craving ravioli the other day, and rather than buy some from the store, I decided to make my own. It’s so easy, I think it’s fun, and mine always taste better than the processed stuff. Using the few ingredients I had in the house, I made a great filling and added some…

Easy Pad Thai
I realized the other day that I have never made Pad Thai before, at least not the sauce. I have cheated and bought the pre-made stuff, which is so-so, but never actually made the whole meal from scratch. I started to look for a recipe and then remembered, my mom made the best Pad Thai…
Chicken Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers

Growing Mushrooms
Not magic mushrooms you hippie, these are for cooking. I got this cool grow-your-own pearl oyster mushroom kit from Back to the Roots, as a gift last year, and decided the other day to bust it out. It was super simple to set up, and has been a lot of fun watching them grow. Soon I…

Did you know hummus is super easy to make? You only need a few basic ingredients, and then you can get fun with the flavors with any added ingredients. This was the first time i’ve ever made it and I was very impressed. I happened to have jalapeños and cilantro at home so it was…
Pearled Farrow w. Grilled pork and Brussel sprouts
I bought Pearled Farrow for the first time and started looking on pinterest for a recipe with farrow and pork. I was so unimpressed with all the options that I decided I just needed to invent my own recipe, adhering to all my needs. I’m so glad I did, because this lightly creamy, flavorful dish…
