Super simple and oh-so-satisfying, this buttermilk ranch seasoning mix can be used to make dip, dressing or to season meat and vegetables! This is a dry mix made using buttermilk powder which you can find online or occasionally in baking sections of your grocery store. …
Between the shutdowns making me feel less than motivated and having the kids home nearly full time since March, I’ve had less time and energy which results in not posting a recipe in WAY too long. On the upside, being home more often has had …
Homemade taco seasoning is one of the hand blended spice mixes that I always have stocked for simple easy meals. With no crazy additives like MSG or anti-caking agents that are commonly found in packaged mixes, you can be sure you’re keeping your diet clean. The seasonings can easily be altered to your taste and catered to your own preference by adding more or less of each spice. I make this multi-purpose homemade taco seasoning in bulk and keep it in a mason jar in my spice cupboard. This makes it super easy to just toss into taco meats, fajitas, quesadillas, dips, eggs, skillet meals and it can be used to season chili as well. Using high quality spices to start from will provide the best results with high flavor impact that’s totally terrific!
Comfort foods have been in high demand at our house and these chipotle stuffed peppers have absolutely been in rotation a few times this past month. I’ve been exhausted balancing the kids school work with trying to maintain running our consulting business. Add in that …
My daughter is always asking for ramen or chicken noodle soup especially during these cold Minnesota winter months. She’s my kindred soup spirit as both of us could eat soup for every meal. It’s so flavorful, full of nutrition, warm and comforting. I’ve indulged her …
We’re heading to a Superbowl gathering this Sunday and I had to look up which teams are playing…ha! That’s how I roll when it comes to sports. Unless my kid is in it, I’m blissfully unaware of the sports world in most cases. I may not know which team to cheer for, but I DO know what foods I’ll be bringing to share. I’ll be bringing a rustic guacamole with tortilla chips, turkey teriyaki meatballs and this Greek feta dip with mixed veggie chip dippers!
Greek feta dip combines Mediterranean flavors of oregano and marjoram with feta, homemade mayo and plain Greek yogurt for a cravingly creamy concoction. The feta and yogurt combo give this dip a unique tang that’s incredibly tasty. Since making it yesterday, I’ve been addicted to dipping every cut vegetable and colorful veggie chips by the handful. Tonight, I’ll be putting this dip over baked potatoes for a tater topper with a tangy twist! In place of the Greek yogurt, you can also use sour cream for an equally delicious dip.
Finally, I’m willing to admit that my garden is done for the season. I’ve harvested all it had to offer and preserved much of it for future meals. One of the vegetables that my garden provided in abundance this year was tomatillos. These plants seem …
It has been far too long since I’ve posted a recipe. I’ve been indulging in all things summer from spending time with family to relaxing and learning new skills in the form of a consulting business. While the hubby is the main product (consultant), I’m …
Oh my goodness! I think summer has FINALLY arrived in Minnesota! Not that we every stopped grilling, even under multiple feet of snow but summer grilling is much easier than shoveling out the grill first. Ha! In addition to the yummy brats, burgers and whatever else is thrown on the grill, summer season grilling calls for fresh barbecue friendly sides like this zesty jalapeno coleslaw. Combining jalapenos and lime give this coleslaw a spicy tang that’s sure to please your palate. Jalapeno coleslaw is super simple to make which means it’s a great dish to take to potlucks or serve at your next outdoor barbecue. Zesty jalapeno coleslaw is perfect for outdoor barbecue parties since it is made without mayo and doesn’t have dairy. This means it can sit out longer without concern.
This is a great make ahead dish as well so you’ll have plenty of time to prepare other portions of the meal. Simply toss all of the ingredients together in just minutes and let it sit for an hour. You can eat it right away but the extra lounge time is ideal for all of the flavors to mix and mingle into a tasty tantalizing topper. Try it on burgers, tacos, sandwiches or use it as a stand alone side dish. The cabbage base also holds up very well so you can store any leftovers for a few days in the fridge for delish zesty jalapeno coleslaw leftovers!
Now, I know Salisbury steak is not a glamorous meal but it’s one of those meals that is super economical, family friendly and doesn’t take much time to make. I have fond memories of having this as a kid… except it had been incorporated into …
