Asian Chicken Pasta Salad with Crispy Wontons
I grew up right in the heart of the Twin Cities. That’s in Minnesota, don’t-chya-know? Back in the day, before it was bought out by Macy’s, Dayton’s department store was a happening place to be. There was a restaurant located inside this Dayton’s (which eventually became Marshall Field’s), and on occasion when my sister and I would spend the weekend with my grandparents, we’d take the city bus to downtown St. Paul, and have lunch at Dayton’s restaurant. If we were really good, we got to go to the candy counter and pick out 1 or 2 suckers. They had the best suckers. They were rectangle shaped, and took forever to finish. Ahh, those…
Skillet Chicken with Mushroom and Onion Cream Sauce
Follow my blog with Bloglovin Wanna know something funny? I don’t like mushrooms. Well, I do, but I won’t eat them. That’s not entirely true either. I’ll eat some of them as long as something else goes on the fork with the mushroom because it’s a textural thing and when I bite into one it makes my teeth squeak. Mushrooms creep me out. Well, they creep out my teeth. It’s the same thing with peas. I can’t eat peas. My teeth don’t like them. I can see all of you looking at me with one eyebrow raised and thinking “This chick is weeeeird!” Perhaps, but I do love the flavor they impart so…
Mmmm Better Cream of Mushroom Soup (Non-GMO and GF)
I first published this post back in March of 2013. I’ve since made this recipe 3 times (I make large batches and freeze it) in hopes of getting much better photos, or at least photos that make the soup look appetizing and no matter how I tried, the photos still didn’t do the soup justice. It’s not pretty soup. It’s prettier than the condensed cream of crud soups from the grocery store, but it doesn’t photograph well at all. So, I did what any decent blogger would do. I called a good friend in New Zealand who has oodles more photography experience than I do and bribed her to make this recipe and…
Out of the Box Hamburger Helper (GMO-Free)
Today I wanted to bring back one of my earlier recipes where I felt if it just got a little more face time that you guys would fall in love with it and want to make it. Unfortunately, I only have not-so-decent pictures of the dish. Although the picture doesn’t do this recipe justice, trust me when I tell you that this dish is SO yummy. I even have a friend from back in high school that has made this for her young children a couple of times and they love it! So if they can eat it and love it and not let the pictures scare them, than so can you!
Creamy Mushroom & Beef Stroganoff
Shazam America! This dish is FAB.YOO.LUSS! Hand to God, Scouts Honor, swear on someone’s Grandmammy’s grave FABULOUS! And I don’t like stroganoff, so that is saying something! Beef Stroganoff is one of TSM’s most favorite meals. The man has a serious thing for sour cream. He only eats Mexican food because he’s convinced sour cream exists solely to be a delivery system for the Mexican food. I on the other hand could live quite happily without having sour cream so I’ve always been torn when it comes to making Stroganoff for The Stud Muffin because he loves it and I can’t stand it. That is, until tonight. I’ve changed my mind and this…
