Shrimp Pasta with Creamy Sauce Recipe

Another yummy recipe – lots of modifications we came up with while cooking.  Leftovers (not seafood – just the pasta and sauce) were also excellent.  Lots of modifications to what we originally saw in the recipe – all for the better!

I used Asiago cheese as my guy hates Parmesan 🙂

Pork Medallions in Mushroom Gravy

This is another recipe we stumbled across somewhere – so glad we did!  We modified it quite a bit – as in making it pretty low salt and then adding to taste.  I also added in more mushrooms as who doesn’t love portobello mushrooms!  Yummy!  This is so good – I served it with red mashed potatoes – so delicious! The gravy is so silky and flavorful – the entire recipe is great to serve to guests, yourselves, or take to a friend who needs a great meal!  I made more gravy as I wanted plenty for the leftovers and also to ensure we wouldn’t run out – would hate to run short!

Please note – it has to be a pork tenderloin – not a pork loin.  A tenderloin is smaller and thinner than a pork loin – typically 1-2 pounds vs 3-5 pounds.

 

As always – ENJOY!!

Triple Chocolate Brown Butter Brownie Recipe

These are truly the BEST brownies I have ever made or eaten.  I’ve always made home made brownies (far preferring my own to a box mix).

This recipe?

This one wins HANDS down.  They stayed soft and gooey/fudgey for a week!  I realize it’s more steps than a typical homemade brownie recipe but I promise you it’s worth it! One of my besties asked for a batch of this for her birthday “cake”!

(If you don’t have the dry  milk powder on hand – you can leave it out.  I have started adding it to recipes like this as it adds so much depth and flavor to baked goods.)

As always – ENJOY!

Chicken Chili Recipe

This recipe is really really good!!  You can make it with green salsa or red – therefore it can be “Green Chicken Chili” or “Red Chicken Chili” depending on what type of salsa you add!  This is a great recipe to freeze for later – no cream or cheese in it (you add the cheese right before serving).

I used this Air Fyer Chicken Recipe for the chicken in this dish.  It is sooo good and tender.

As always – ENJOY!

BEST Air Fryer Chicken Breast Recipe

I have tried various chicken recipes in the air fryer – this is BY FAR the best yet.  I use this when I want to make chicken salad or put into soup or even just add to a top of a big salad.  Quite delicious!

I recommend the salt brine – it’s so easy and it makes the chicken so tender!

As always – enjoy!

Browned Butter Pasta Alfredo Recipe

I made this recipe totally off the cuff, pulling 2 old recipes together and added caramelized onions, peas and mushrooms.  It was FABULOUS!  We sauteed scallops and shrimp (totally optional!) and placed on top – with a few crispy bacon pieces as well.  Yum yum YUM!!!!!!!!!!

 

As always – ENJOY!
