Cheesy Onion Crunch Chicken

Cheesy Onion Crunch Chicken from HelloFresh has rave reviews.  I finally got around to making mine (I frozen the chicken breasts so it wouldn't go bad).  I think the star of the dish was the mashed sweet potatoes.  Mashed Sweet Potatoes Ingredients: 2 sweet potatoes Salt Pepper 2 Tablespoons butter Dollop of Sour Cream Dash of Milk Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Peel and dice 2 sweet potatoes. Boil 15-20 minutes. Drain and put back into the pot. Add a dollop of sour cream, 2 tablespoons butter, salt, pepper, and a dash of milk.  Smash all together until creamy. 

Egg Roll in a Bowl

I have been craving Chinese!  I order my groceries online and do curbside pickup.  I wanted to make my own egg rolls, but I didn't get my egg roll wrappers in the order and they didn't substitute anything.  So, I made egg roll in a bowl!  They did substitute ground pork with hot Italian sausage, which wasn't too bad in the recipe overall. Ingredients: Ground pork Ginger, minced finely Coleslaw mix Green onion, dice and separate whites from greens Hoisin Sauce Sriracha Sauce Asian Sesame Dressing Uncle Ben's 90 second Jasmine Rice Packet Toppings: Peanuts Crispy Wonton (found with salad toppers) Prep: Peel the ginger using a spoon and dice the ginger very finely.

Once oil is hot add ground pork. Season with salt and pepper. When the pork is cooked through r

Chinese at home

I made turmeric rice and some steamed broccoli with chicken potstickers dipped in Trader Joes General Tso sauce.  The sauce is really amazing.

Quarantine Easter Dinner

Easter without family this year was weird.  I ended up buying a smoked ham with mac n cheese, cornbread muffins, baked beans, and mashed potatoes from Famous Dave's for Easter dinner.  It was a huge ham!  I have it sliced and in the freezer for another day. 

Furloughed

When I found out about my furlough I felt sad and had to bake some chocolate chip cookies.  Nestle Tollhouse recipe.

Peanut Chicken

Homef Chef's Chicken Satay Bowl with rice and bok choy .  I got a 4 person portion of this peanut chicken because I liked it the first time I made it.  It's sauteed bok choy over jasmine rice with peanut sauced chicken (I add a lot of sriracha) and a few peanuts.

Pancakes

Sometimes my home delivery boxes come with a product sample.  I got this little box of whole grain pancake mix.  They were actually the best pancakes I've made.  I'm not very good at making them.  Topped with hickory syrup of course :)

Best boyfriend ever

I love tea.  My boyfriend saw this chai ice cream at Shoppers and bought it for me.  The ice cream is amazing!!!

Greek Chicken

Home Chef Greek Chicken Souvlaki with Lemon Potatoes .  I made some lemon potatoes and chicken souvlaki with pita bread and hummus on the side.  I had such a craving for Greek food that the boyfriend and I also got take out one night from Yia Yia in College Park.

Christmas Cookies in Spring?

Hallmark Channel decided to play some of their top Christmas movies during the quarantine.  I couldn't watch all the holiday baking without some decorated cookies of my own.  I popped open the freezer and dug out a few snowflake sugar cookies to decorate.  I use Martha Stewart's sugar cookie recipe.
