Hey Hey Hey it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for!
The blog post where the husband takes over! ME! As you all know this past weekend was Memorial Day and that means everyone who has served in the military gets a huge shout out for their sacrifices and courage for making this country great! It also means everyone was eating & drinking a lot. Wifey & I love food so here is a easy recipe that isn’t much work but takes a long time (in the crock pot). Set it and Forget it style, here we go!
Food
Mushroom Pea Risotto with Crispy Pork Belly
Hello wonderful readers! So this is my second go at this post because for some reason it didn’t save properly. You guys all know I’m a fan of food, especially when it’s easy and it looks fancy! I thought I’d give risotto a go (mostly because they’re always making it on Hell’s Kitchen) and it was NOT disappointing! I even added some crispy pork belly on top! Yum! But you don’t have to add any meat and this creamy rice is just as satisfying.
Sausage Orzo Veggie Dish (HelloFresh…kind of…)
Hiya guys!
You guys know I love food, and sometimes I’ll see a food pic on my Facebook/Instagram feed or on Pinterest, and I know I have to make it! The problem is sometimes I have no clue what goes in the recipe and other times there is a vague title so I can surf the internet finding something similar or even the recipe itself. This is what happened last week, I saw an Insta story saying they just cooked a sausage orzo dish from Hello Fresh.
For those who don’t know, Hello Fresh is a weekly delivery service of ingredients and a recipe for you to make at home. It’s good for busy people, those who want to try something new, or non cookers, or people who don’t want to waste all the extra leftover ingredients when you shop for a recipe, because they send you the EXACT amount of ingredients you’ll need per recipe.
Spatchcock Chicken Under a Brick
Hiya guys!
I made a delicious oven roasted chicken that turned out beautifully! I’m not trying to sound like I’m bragging but it looked fancy, so if your hosting a dinner this piece was easy and will definitely impress friends!
Spatchcock Chicken Under a Brick is the bird of many names, because this method of cooking fowl is also known as butterfly (butterflied?) or split chicken. So what the heck does that mean? It pretty much means that you remove the backbone of the bird and flatten it out a little so it is all at one level. This allows the chicken to cook evenly, and it works with any fowl, turkey, duck, cornish game hens, etc.
Meal Prep Pros and Cons: It’s not for everyone
Hiya folks!
January has been a crazy month….but there is hope and inspiration in the people that surround us. I believe in us. The politics of America have come crashing down around us. Hard. I am trying very hard to keep daily every day life more pleasant, because I honestly start feeling sick and dizzy looking at Facebook and news broadcasts. This doesn’t mean I’m not paying attention. Trust me, I am. But I also know that I can not let my every thought be consumed by everything that is going on. It’s nice to try to have happy more normalized moments to give your brain a break.
Homemade Dog Birthday Cake; bonus doggie beer and ice cream
Hello Hello!
I didn’t do my usual blog post yesterday and for a good reason too.
It was my dog’s birthday!!!
Lafayette turned 4 (time flies), yes, she is adopted. And no, we don’t know exactly when she was born but we have a rough idea. Everyone deserves a birthday, and with the little information we could gather, we picked one for her! We celebrate her birthday every year, and eventually when we have a house with a yard, she’ll have a full on birthday bash!
