Egg In A Bread Sandwich

Last weekend, I had a craving for an egg in a bread.  Do you know what that is? An egg in a bread is exactly what it sounds like, a piece of bread with an egg cooked in the middle of it.  It’s most commonly known as egg in a basket, but it goes by many other names.  My mom called it “egg in a bread” so that’s what I still call it today. Is an egg in a bread just like toast and fried eggs?  Not at all.  The bread slices are sort of fried in butter, which is completely different than putting a pad of butter on …

Easy Tofu Stir Fry

Tofu.  Are you a fan?  I think it’s one of those foods that you either love or hate. When I told my mom that I was making tofu for dinner, her exact words were “bleh.”  Well, to each her own.  😉  I won’t convince my mom or you to try it, but I will say that I initially didn’t like tofu.  I thought it was too soft and mushy.  My husband on the other hand has always liked tofu.  He broke me down a little at a time with tasty dishes that had tofu in them.  Then I learned how to cook it in …

Paloma

Paloma…  Isn’t that a fun word to say?  Or maybe it’s just me. I’m not a big drinker and by that I mean I average one drink a week, if that.  When I do have the occasional drink, it’s usually a gin and tonic.  Being my favorite, it made sense that it was the first cocktail recipe that I shared with you back in September 2014.  It took me 1 and 1/2 years to post anything having to do with alcohol and I’m not exactly sure why it took me that long. Today’s cocktail marks my 7th recipe so it would appear that I’m …

One Pot Mexican Stroganoff

Hectic days call for quick dinners and this one is speedy and tasty all at once. So what’s the deal-e-o with this casserole type meal?  Well, it’s part Mexican and part stroganoff, sort of.  It’s got a Mexican flair from the lovely enchilada sauce.  It’s not by any means a traditional stroganoff, but it has elements of it here, like the pasta, meat, mushrooms, and creamy sauce. My husband says it’s nothing like a stroganoff… like at all, but he admits that he’s comparing it to the real deal.  It’s hard to explain so you’ll really have to try it to see …

No-Bake Cookies and Cream Bars

Oreos and marshmallows.  These are two of my favorite things on earth.  Now imagine making a no-bake bar that combines them together… it’s a reality. I’m a bit of a snob when it comes to marshmallows.  Marshmallows come in three delicious sizes.  Usually called miniature, original, and jumbo (depending on your brand).  I only like the Kraft Jet-Puffed miniature sized ones.  My husband isn’t especially picky and likes all the sizes, but only the mini ones in cocoa.  The jumbo marshmallows are awesome because of their sheer ginormous size, but they’re a bit too sticky for my taste.  Hmm…  By that I …
