I only made 2 Quesadilas but the recipe makes at least 8. Started doing prep work but my lil hand chopper</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> is not mincing the herbs anymore so off to the store tomorrow and buy a herb mill to get the job done properly. There was a sale at the grocery so I replenished my herb supply. I'll mince them all up and freeze them until I need them for a recipe. Also saw on pintrest where they froze herbs in olive oil for recipes too... gonna have to try that as well. Tomorrow is gonna have to be an easy recipe day so I can get all the prep done. Still have to freeze the last of the chicken stock I made. The little boys (a fox terrier and a min-pin) are loving the chicken that was cooked to death for 2 days. Hey it might not have any flavor for a recipe but you can't tell them that.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes I'm messy in the kitchen but I do clean it up after I eat. Speaking of which it's time to clean up the kitchen. Luckily cast iron skillets are super easy to clean. </span></span><br />

Season the breast with salt and pepper. Allow a brown crust to form on the breast, you want to turn it only once after about 4 - 5 minutes, then allow to cook for 4 - 5 more minutes on the opposite side. Place on cutting board and allow to rest for a few minutes so it cools to the touch. Cut chicken into small bite sized pieces, throw it back in the pan with a little oil or bacon grease,add taco seasoning then fry for a couple of minutes. Remove from pan and set aside. Add bacon drippings to the pan and saute the onion and pepper until onion is soft, add garlic and cook for a few more minutes until garlic is fragrant. Remove vegetables from pan and set aside. Now I used a new skillet for the Quesadilas, put some bacon drippings in the pan, place a tortilla in pan and layer cheese, chicken, vegetables and cilantro fold Quesadilas over and allow to fry for a min or so until cheese starts to melt. Carefully.... very carefully flip the Quesadilas over and allow to fry for a couple more minutes. Serve with sour cream, pico de gallo, salsa.</span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13318671804147116817noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3117384443597254826.post-26042599496773959212013-10-25T19:31:00.004-07:002013-10-25T19:31:42.328-07:00Ok, today's new recipe. I've tried dozens of meatball recipes, none of them taste good to me. Today I started over and reinvented the meatball. I came up with something that has the right texture and a great taste.

Discard the paper towels, finely chop the spinach and transfer it to the bowl with the vegetables. Add the scallions, sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire, and lemon juice and stir to combine. Cover tightly and refrigerate until the flavors meld and the dip is thoroughly chilled, about 2 hours. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed, then transfer to a serving dish. Serve with veggies or cheese chips.</span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13318671804147116817noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3117384443597254826.post-82351677264105637042013-10-20T19:23:00.001-07:002013-10-20T19:23:52.588-07:00<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">This one is scary good.

Boxes everywhere! I have most the kitchen unpaced at this point but not when it was time to make food. I defrosted some hamburger, mixed in leftover refried beans, green chilis then added cheese and leftover rotel. Hit the spot!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13318671804147116817noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3117384443597254826.post-38974790225782993842013-10-07T17:06:00.002-07:002013-10-07T17:06:58.374-07:00So most of the kitchen is packed. I'd say around 95% is packed and ready for the move. This being said, easy peasy for dinner tonight. Steak salad with baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, grilled steak, cheese and ranch dressing. I know not the greatest dressing to have with this but it's the only premade dressing I have in the fridge. I would usually make a dressing to go with the salad I'm having. This needs a nice vinaigrette but there is always next time.

Today it was Top sirloin steaks that have been run through the cuber. Put them in the crockpot with can of cream of mushroom soup, can of mushrooms, and 6 oz of cream cheese. Cooked on low for 7 hours. Served it with mashed turnips. Not sure it looks yummy but boy was it! Then had sweet after, jello with liquid splenda sweetened whipped cream.<br />

Ok so here is the Fire Roasted Tomato Sauce I got out of the freezer today and made spaghetti with. Noodles were Julienned zuchinni. Doing easy right now. Everything is non essential is packed for the move. Hoping to be moved next weekend. Still looking for a place since all this is so short notice. Will be a busy week this week getting ready, so expect quick easy meals made with what I have unpacked.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13318671804147116817noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3117384443597254826.post-50331271839301397522013-10-03T19:11:00.002-07:002013-10-03T19:11:58.558-07:00<a href="http://www.food.com/recipe/creamy-burrito-casserole-33919">http://www.food.com/recipe/creamy-burrito-casserole-33919</a> There's the link to tonight's dinner... Love this stuff. The changes I made are cutting the recipe in half (yes I have half a can of cream of mushroom soup in my fridge most the time along with the beans) and baking it in a 8" square glass casserole. Oh and using low carb tortillas. It only takes 2 tortilla for the casserole, one per layer. Easy peasy. Plus there is enough for breakfast, to take for lunch, and then one meal to freeze for later. Strange thing is this frozen dinner never lasts long, last one made it 3 days.<br />
<br />
Took a trip to the new place. Looking around in the kitchen again. I have a island like cart picked out at bed bath & beyond for the middle. It'll give more storage and a better place to work. Can't wait.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13318671804147116817noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3117384443597254826.post-61605066537850910492013-10-02T19:08:00.001-07:002013-10-02T19:08:55.336-07:00<b><span style="font-size: large;">Beer Batter Fish</span></b><br />
<br />
8 oz low carb beer<br />
1/4 C + 2 Tablespoons coconut flour<br />
salt, pepper<br />
1/4 teas garlic powder<br />
1 egg, slightly beaten<br />
Cod fillets<br />
<br />
Sift flour into bowl add seasoning, beer and egg. Cut cod diagonally into 1" strips (5 - 6" long). Pat fish dry and season on both sides with salt and pepper then coat in beer batter. Dredge the pieces of fish in 1/4 cup coconut flour and slide into oil. Fry fish, turning over frequently, until deep golden and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. <br />
<br />
Ok so I'm not much for fish. I keep trying like this time is gonna do it I'll like it this time... yeah well I'm still picking pieces of this off and dipping it in tartar sauce so it must be ok. <br />

I work 3rd shift so never quit sure when I'm going to get sleep. Today I didn't get to bed until 2pm so not up until 8:30pm. The long and the short of it is I have no time today to cook. Like a good low carber there is a back up plan. When I cook there is more food than I can eat so I freeze the leftovers as frozen dinners for days like this. Today we're gonna do crock pot taco soup. I'll post the recipe tomorrow when I have more time. <br />
<br />
Have a great day everyone.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13318671804147116817noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3117384443597254826.post-40406565035285470182013-09-30T15:30:00.001-07:002013-09-30T15:30:47.157-07:00Mushroom "Risotto"<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
