One Pot Cheesy Chicken Taco Rice

January 11, 2015 by Jenna 1 Comment

I chipped off a part of my tooth last night just chewing on some animal crackers. The part of the tooth that chipped off was decaying and the dentist had told me it needed a crown. Not anymore I guess! I just saved myself over $1,000 because I was just going to end up getting it pulled anyway. It is way in the back where my wisdom teeth were, and I don't think I'd end up missing it that much. Maybe one day I can get a replacement for it, but for now I can't really afford it. Have you ever had a ...

Kale and Quinoa Salad

January 5, 2015 by Jenna 3 Comments

Oh joy, another salad. You're probably getting sick of seeing salads on just about every food blog right now aren't you? Tis the season to start diets. Words like Healthy and Detox and smoothies are popping up everywhere now. I told myself that I had to stop eating crap. I've been eating a lot of that lately too. Crap like Multi-grain tortilla chips with flax seed and guacamole. I keep on telling myself those chips are healthy, because they contain flax seeds in them. Pepperoni Pizza ...

Spicy Huevos Rancheros

November 19, 2014 by Jenna Leave a Comment

This was a nice change, rather than my usual hash brown, eggs, and bacon stacks. A crisp corn tortilla, sprayed and baked in the oven instead of frying. Black beans with cumin, and chili powder and then the whole shebang is topped off with a fried egg. Super yummy with some tomato, avocado, and cilantro on top. Ben didn't have the egg with it. Instead, he made tacos with beans, tomatoes and avocado. Men, I tell you. He didn't want to make another fried egg cause the other one was contaminated ...

Mexican Macaroni Salad

Mexican Macaroni Salad from Ree Drummond is going to be your next favorite pasta salad. This salad is packed full of black beans, tomatoes, corn, salsa, and cumin. Add in whatever favorite Mexican toppings you like to this salad! Did anyone follow the Next Food Network Star this season? I'm seriously ticked off about the winner this time. I never liked Lenny from the beginning, him and the Butcher Babe. The first time I saw him, I thought, who is this annoying looking cowboy d ...

Shrimp Tacos with Mango Citrus Slaw

August 4, 2014 by Jenna Leave a Comment

This is a recipe inspired by a lot of recipes and combined into one. Bobby Flay wins for the longest recipe title ever: Grilled Fish Tacos with Avocado Relish, Smoky Tomato-Greek Yogurt Crema and Red Cabbage-Citrus Slaw. If you want to see this title in action you can click here for the full recipe. He made that on his show this weekend. I always end up wanting whatever he makes on his show, because everything looks SO GOOD. He is an iron chef after all. What I ended up doing was making t ...

Weight Watcher’s Deep Dish Pizza Casserole

June 11, 2014 by Jenna Leave a Comment

Weight Watcher's Deep Dish Pizza Casserole comes together in under 30 minutes. The crust is store bought, so you don't have to wait for it to rise and kneed the dough, and it takes under 10 minutes to brown the ground beef. Browning the ground beef is probably the hardest part. Prep all your ingredients while the ground beef is browning and you're pretty much done. Super easy and you can use whatever your favorite toppings are. I just added a couple slices of pepperoni to mine and garnished the ...

Crock Pot Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin

It's been kind of cold and rainy here in Fargo, ND and that is not good for taking pictures! I just want it to be bright outside because that is when the sun is shining through our big living room window the most! I've been doing a lot of research reading about food photography and studying food photos and all I've been wanting to do is take pictures of food lately. I took the pic above on a bright sunny day and it turned out much better than some pictures of fruit I was trying to take ...

Don't be surprised if I post a really fattening recipe These lighter pepperoni pizzas are only 7 points plus a piece for the whole pizza if using turkey pepperoni slices. Pepperoni is fattening in general and hard to not avoid all the fat and ...
