Lasagna Soup

It’s been cold and rainy here in Houston. Saturdays are my day of rest. It’s my day that I intentionally take moments to be still and stop from all of the busyness. It’s something that I’ve done for years and really centers me as we enter a new week. It’s also my day to catch up on my TV shows and watch movies I haven’t watched yet. I hope that your Saturday is comforting, calm and rewarding. 

I love comfort food. This Lasagna soup was comforting, warm and cheesy. I made my first Lasagna soup over a year ago. This soup has since gone viral and there are so many recipes all over the internet.

Cajun Shrimp Chowder

We are hunkered down as the arctic blast is passing through.  Soup is on deck for sure. We will be warming up with one of my soup creations. I cooked this Chowder a few weeks ago and my family loved it. This chowder was on the table in less than 30 minutes. So good.

White Beans Wednesday

Growing up in Louisiana my family would prepare White beans every Wednesday. This created the white beans Wednesday. My husband grew up the same way and he is always happy when I make this dish for him. I’m not raising my kids that way, but we do love White beans occasionally. One of meat that we love in our White beans is pork tails. I know everyone won’t appreciate this delicious delicacy. But don’t knock it till you try it. 😂😂😋😋

Crispy Chicken Bowls

I love getting my kids involved when I’m preparing meals or planning my menus. 

I was talking with them about this dish that I wanted to create. My Crispy Chicken bowl is a playoff of the popular KFC Famous chicken bowl. 

My teenager loves spicy chips. She had a bag of funyuns and wanted to make spicy chicken nuggets instead of the regular crispy chicken. I was like cool deal, let’s try it.

Ice Cream Sandwiches

It’s crazy to believe how fast time is flying. Our teenager recently turned 15. OMG. I have alot of emotions that have been going through my mind. Excitement for her as she’s growing up. I feel sad because she is no longer my little girl, but becoming a beautiful young lady. It makes me feel a bit anxious, because I still have so much to teach her before she leaves for college.

Let me move on before I start crying. Last Friday, she had a few friends over for a super cool fun night (I will share more about this later). She wanted an easy dessert that her and her friends could enjoy.

I asked her, how about Cookies and Ice cream? But instead of cookies and ice cream what if we make Cookie sandwiches. She said sure that sounds yummy.

Turkey Parmesan Sandwich

Chicken Parmesan is one of my favorite Italian dishes. This is my go to when we dine at Italian Restaurants. I picked up this new sauce by Mezzetta called Truffle, Porcini & Cream which was how this new recipe idea came about for dinner. This sauce is so delicious and was the perfect choice for my Turkey Parmesan Sandwich.

I replaced the chicken with Turkey breast instead of the chicken breast. A great choice. So delicious.

In addition to this new sauce, Smoked mozzarella was superb on this sandwich.

Cajun Pizza

Most of the pizzas I make will not include a traditional red sauce. Fun fact about me, I have acid reflux so I often avoid tomato based sauces on my pizza.

This new pizza creation is my Cajun Pizza. This one has a shrimp scampi sauce as the base. This pizza was superb.

Eggplant Dressing

For Thanksgiving, Rice Dressing or Cornbread dressing is always on the table. We love dressing. Substitute your dressing with this easy Eggplant Dressing. The dressing is flavorful and delicious.

A great way to incorporate vegetables in a dish and your kids won’t even notice. My kids didn’t know at all.

Eggplant is a great source of vitamins and minerals.
