Experimenting with food during this quarantine period has been a silver lining for me. And since we haven’t done any takeout, I’m forced to make things I used to have delivered to my door…like this super simple lo mein recipe made with spaghetti noodles. It’s healthy and you can substitute any meat that you’d like for the ground turkey. Hell, you can add whatever vegetables you want to it as well. I wish this wasn’t so good…because now I’m going to be forced to cook one of my fave delivery dishes instead of ordering it.
Read More"Better Than Bayless" Chicken Enchiladas
I make this dish for my husband once a year on his birthday (sometimes twice if he’s lucky - on Father’s Day) and he coined it “Better Than [Rick] Bayless” enchiladas. As a cook, there’s no greater compliment than that when talking about homemade Mexican food. Although time consuming, this dish isn’t hard, and it’s well worth the efforts. I usually make the salsa the day before (or a few days) and sometimes even the filling. So on the “big day,” all you have to do is compile the dish. Now pour yourself a margarita and enjoy one of our favorite meals.

I’ve been really into breakfast food lately. More specifically, Belgian waffles.

Read MoreCheeseburger Meatloaf
I’ve been eating the same meatloaf recipe my entire life. It’s my mom’s very simple recipe that is pretty much perfect. I’ve adapted it to be a bit healthier over the years by substituting ground turkey instead of beef, but I couldn’t resist making this version when I heard it tasted like a cheeseburger. This is anything but healthy, but wow…it’s every bit as good as it sounds, and I will be making it for my family for years to come.
