Patty Melts – Weight Watchers
A good patty melt consists of decent bread, a burger patty, cheese, and caramelized onions. The hardest part of the recipe is waiting for the caramelized onions to get done. If you prep everything in advance like the patties and onions, these sandwiches can be easily made for lunch the next day. All you need to do is toast the bread. Holy heck I posted a new recipe! Just so you know I’m still here, just been very busy updating older recipes that I should probably just be reposting on the ... continue reading...
Smoked Pulled Pork Nachos
Two weekends ago, my whole family was at the lake having a garage sale and celebrating my brother’s birthday. He even brought his smoker out to make his pork roast and spent all day cooking it. Everyone at the garage sale wanted to come back for dinner later on. The pork was so delicious and there was so much of it leftover you could make pulled pork sandwiches and nachos with it for weeks. Kevin made pulled pork nachos with the leftovers and everyone devoured them. Then my brother ... continue reading...
Air Fryer Hash Browns
One food I’ve been loving lately is frozen hash brown patties in the air fryer. Frozen hash brown patties are simple to cook in your air fryer and they are so crispy on the outside and warm and soft in the middle. No oil needed to make these. I’ll serve the patties with some scrambled eggs and cottage cheese on the side and it makes a great breakfast or dinner combo. The brand of hash brown patties I use is by Lyndale Farms and they are only 4 points per hash brown patty. Of ... continue reading...
Grilled Corn on the Cob
Grilled Corn on the Cob is the best way to cook this favorite Summer vegetable during this time of year. I included helpful tips and tricks for finding the best corn on the cob as well. It’s the middle of Summer and you’re using the grill a lot instead of heating the house up. Corn on the cob is also in season and it is fun to buy at the farmers market. Good corn on the cob can also be achieved without having to soak the corn or brining it first. I love to use both my grill and smoker in ... continue reading...
Limoncello Martini
I know lemon drop martinis are all the rage but this is a simple cocktail made with limoncello and vodka. The glass gets lined with sugar which still gives you that lemon drop flavor. If you don’t like a really strong martini try adding in some Sprite or simple syrup to the drink. Trying out new cocktail recipes is something I enjoy and I love a good fruity and sweet cocktail. Beer is to bitter-tasting for me and that is why I prefer sweeter drinks. This is like a condensed recipe for a ... continue reading...
Pickled Red Onion Recipe
Hey everyone, apologies for not posting any new recipes in a while. If you’re new here I try and post one new recipe a week but I’m always busy updating older recipes. A little life update for you. My kitchen is being remodeled for the next two weeks and I am so excited! Getting my dream kitchen! I know what you’re thinking. Didn’t you already remodel one? That was at my old house and I had painted the kitchen cabinets and had new floors put in order to sell it. This time I’m having a ... continue reading...
Lemon Meringue Pie for Two
I’ve been experimenting with recipes for two lately and I love it. Why make a whole pie for 8 servings when you only need 1 or 2 slices? I’m talking mostly to those people that live alone or with a second roommate. My only complaint about the 4 in pie dish is that when you go to slice the pie it won’t be the same size as you get when you cut a 9 in pie slice. Check out the picture below, it explains this better. It’s rather tiny and oddly shaped but that’s ok because I’m not wasting ... continue reading...
