Macaroni Chicken Pasta

I would say that pasta is our go-to meal if we don't have anything prepared to cook for the night. We always stock up on Prego pasta sauce, some kind of pasta and we always seem to have broccoli. This time, we had leftover grilled chicken, chopped, and added to our pasta.

Steamed Tilapia

Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add a bit of butter. Squeeze a bit of lemon. Then steam for about 6-7 minutes until just done. 

We ate the fish with leftover grilled chicken and a spoonful of spinach greens. It was a pretty tasty meal.

Grilled Cheeses w/ Pepperonis

Toasted bread with a layer of american cheese, pepperonis, and pepperjack cheese.

Microwave for 15 seconds until cheese melts

 Top off with another toasted bread and serve with slices of watermelon on the side for a completely yummy-licious lunch!

Sourdough Bread Appetizer

We love bread! As an appetizer before heading out for date night, we enjoyed ourselves a yummy snack to munch on first.

This is so easy to make! Just slice french bread or sourdough bread. Pour olive oil and add salt and pepper. Simply dip the bread in and chomp away! 

Turkey Meatloaf

I used 3lbs of ground turkey mixed with 3t salt and 1egg. Add in 1 chopped carrot, 1 chopped cucumber, and 1 chopped onion. In a separate mixture, food process 8oz croutons, 6t brown sugar, 3t paprika, 2t dried thyme, 1.5t chili pepper, 1t ground cumin, 1/2t black pepper. Then add to meat mixture as well. Mold into loaf shape and place in 350 degree Fahrenheit oven. 

For the glaze, mix 1c ketchup, 4-5 dashes of Worcestershire sauce, 2t ground cumin, and 3T brown sugar.

After baking meatloaf for 10 minutes, add the glaze and continue to bake for another 30 minutes. After which, the recipe calls for upping the heat to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for another 40 minutes or until done.

When the meat loaf was finally cooked, it looked like the above.

It was pretty delicious! We made extra glaze on the side for a super yummy dinner!

Banana Bread with Cherries!

Remember when I said we'd buy more bananas? Well, this is what I made with them:

 This is the same recipe as the banana nut bread. Just add chopped fresh cherries in place of raisins!

I doubled the batter so I can make 12 muffins AND 

a yummy loaf 

I think I should've added more cherries as I couldn't really taste'em. Oh well, I'll get it right next time. At least it's still delicious! I managed to snap a pic before all the muffins were gone!

Such deliciousness!!! We can't get enough!!!

Teriyaki Pork and Cabbage

Boyfriend made this delicious meal. Marinate pork loin pieces in any teriyaki sauce overnight. Then stir fry with oyster sauce and other asian seasonings. Add chopped garlic, onions and cabbage.

Add rice for a full meal!
