Turkey Pot Sticker Dumplings with Dipping Sauce

To go along with the Stir-Fry I made earlier I wanted to have some sort of pot sticker or egg roll. Recently I have been trying a lot of Asian cooking and I really wanted to give dumplings a try. As I was making these little bad boys my mouth was watering. I don't know if I have a handle on Asian cooking but they turned out pretty gosh darn good!

Chicken & Broccoli Stir-Fry

For whatever reason today I was really wanting some sort of Asian food. Decided to go with something not to heavy but super delicious. Chicken & Broccoli stir fry. You really could add what ever vegetables you wanted to this but I happen to love broccoli and had a lot of fresh broccoli in the fridge. Hope you like it as much as I did!

Fried Chicken & Gravy over Breakfast Potatoes

Sometimes it's okay to eat something really delicious that probably isn't the best for you... okay with that out of my system one of my favorite things for breakfast is fried chicken over breakfast potatoes with gravy. I don't know why I like it for breakfast but I just do! It is so gosh darn yummy, if you don't believe me, you'll just have to try it for yourself!

Fresh Bagels

The more time that I spend in the kitchen baking and cooking, the more I want to challenge myself at new things. This afternoon when I was wanting a bagel for a snack, I realized I was out of bagels. I suddenly thought to myself there must be some way that I can make them myself... haha. So I found a recipe that I thought I could tackle and the process began.

Blueberry Cornbread Muffins with Vanilla Butter

I had to come up with something to take into the 4H meeting that wouldn't take me too long to make, but wouldn't be any less delicious! I decided to make a batch of mini muffins. And what goes best with muffins, some butter. So I spiced up the butter and added in some blueberries to the muffins... Easy for eating, easy for sharing, and easily delicious :-)

Samoa Bars

One of my favorite Girl Scout cookies is the Samoa. When I came across a recipe to try and recreate them I knew I had to give it a try. After reading the recipe though I made some of my own changes to what I thought would better suit the cookie. I think they turned out pretty darn good!

Chicken Enchiladas

After making salsa the other day, Mexican food was on my mind! I couldn't decide what it was that I wanted but when I came across some pictures some enchiladas I knew that is what I wanted. This recipe is a little different than other enchiladas I've had in the past but I love the heat and flavors that come from peppers so I thought I would give it a try!

Homemade Salsa

One of my all time favorite snacks is chips and salsa. I love the freshness and all the combined flavors to give heat, texture, and flavor on the end of your chip! Today when I went to pull some out the fridge, I was out! So I decided to whip up a batch. Just a fair warning, this recipe makes a LOT! Around two large mason jars.

Fruit Crepes

Saturday mornings in my opinion are always the best time to have something extra delicious for breakfast. A treat to yourself for making it through the week. So today I decided to give myself something extra special and have a sweet creamy and delicious fruit crepe!

Spicy Key Lime Sword Fish With Cilantro Lime Rice

Sometimes there are nights when I really want some fish for dinner. So tonight when I was in town and I was looking at the fresh fish I decided to go with swordfish. I had come across a recipe a while ago for this sweet and spicy sauce that I thought would pair nicely with the swordfish so I decided to give it a try and make some rice to go along with it!

Lemon Ricotta Cookies

I am so sick of the winter and so ready for the spring that I decided it's time to start baking and cooking things that remind me of spring time. Maybe this will make spring come, haha. If you love lemon as much as I do... these cookies will absolutely melt in your mouth... they might actually just make you melt because you can't believe just how amazing they are!

Creamy Pesto with Noodles

I was really in the mood for some pasta but wasn't feeling the red sauce. So instead I decided to make some fresh pesto sauce and then make it creamy and delicious and toss it with some macaroni noodles. Hit the spot and was absolutely delicious!
