Teriyaki Chicken
About a year ago I did a promotion for Kikkoman for Thanksgiving. They sent me a bunch of recipes from turkey marinade to green bean casserole. I have to be honest, the only thing I used Kikkoman soy sauce was for my pot stickers and to pour over rice. This promotion definitely opened my eyes…
Air Fryer Chicken Legs
The air fryer is my new favorite appliance. No joke, it is amazing. Especially for cooking meat. I will be the first to say that I am not expert at cooking meat. Being a vegetarian for so long, I have not had a tremendous amount of experience doing it. When I first started, I wasn’t…
Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets
Are your children nugget fans? Do they seem too difficult or daunting to make yourself? That’s how I used to feel. I made them once or twice and said, this is for the birds. Either frying them in my fryer or on the stove in a frying pan was messy and guess work in regards…
Chop Suey
This is a Hartline family recipe. It has a story! Andy’s grandmother came to America in 1914 from Berlin, Germany. In the early 1930s she worked at a Chinese restaurant in Erie, PA called La Meda Tea Room. She got this recipe from that Chinese restaurant and it has been a family favorite ever since.…
Smothered Chicken Burritos
I have been making a version of these burritos for years. After trying new things: trading Spanish rice recipes, amping up the chicken, and finding the perfect sauce; it is finally ready for you all! You might ask, what is the difference between enchiladas and smothered burritos? Well, I will tell you: enchiladas are usually…
Parmesan Creamed Cabbage with Ground Turkey
Creamed cabbage doesn’t sound very appetizing and I’ll be honest, I’ve never had it before I came up with this recipe. One night I had about half an hour to get dinner ready. In my fridge, I had a head of cabbage that I had absolutely no plans for and some ground turkey. A few…
Chili
Almost everyone in my house loves this chili. I say almost because of course there is Beau, who likes about 10 things. I’m not kidding. Luckily when I make this chili, we usually eat it with chips, cheese, and sour cream. If I grab some salsa and guacamole – Beau has a meal. Yikes! Anyone…
Easy Oven Ready Lasagna
Lasagna has always been a favorite meal in our house. When Luke was in fourth grade he had to do a presentation in his writing class about how to make something. He chose lasagna and not this simple recipe. He chose a fairly difficult recipe but man was it good with sauce made from scratch.…
Loaded Fries
When we lived in Pennsylvania, one of our favorite restaurants was Jesse’s Barbecue. If you are ever in Souderton, PA – you should go. It is so good that our resident meat-eater, Emma, wanted to go for her birthday dinner. She was sorely disappointed because it happens to be closed on Mondays, which we didn’t…
White Chicken Chili with Black Beans
Nothing says fall better than a nice hot bowl of chili. You probably have half a dozen different chili recipes in your kitchen as we speak. Why do you need one more? I’ll tell you why – because this one is a show stopper. Literally – I have won chili cook offs with this chili. …
Breakfast Burritos
Breakfast. Some people say it is the most important meal of the day. I am not a nutritionist or anything close so I can’t claim that breakfast is important for scientific reasons. I am human, though, and know that I need fuel for the day. So breakfast, it’s an important meal. It is also important…
Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls
Fall is officially here and I am fully embracing all things pumpkin spice. I love that when the seasons change our food changes too! Isn’t that what we love about the holidays? Food?!? As we transition from flip flops to boots, shorts to jeans, and tank tops to sweaters, our food transitions from burgers to…
Crumb Coffee Cake
It is not too often that I eat cake for breakfast but when I do – I want a crumb coffee cake. My blueberry coffee cake is amazing as well as my cinnamon sour cream coffee cake. However, nostalgia always takes over and this one brings back all the memories. My sister and I were…
