Summer foods are so much fun. The obstacle is when you really want something but don’t have all the ingredients. The potato salad craving hit with limited ingredients – but we made it work! 1 rustic potato was cut up very chunky and then boiled for about 10 minutes. During this I chopped up someContinue reading “Potato Salad”

Mug Chocolate Cake
You know there are some days you just want chocolate cake. But you don’t want to make it or have the ingredients or want to go out and buy it. You want it to just appear.

Elote
Cinco de Mayo means fun foods like Elote aka street corn. (Clearly I am still behind here catching up LOL). I venture to make it myself and it turned out soooo perfect! It was very easy as well.

Penne alla Papalina

It was pretty easy, but firstContinue reading “Shrimp Cheung Fun”

Cottage Cheese Pasta Sauce
We’re back at trying the cottage cheese recipes for the sneaky extra protein. This time in pasta sauce. Now I will tell you the consistency didn’t turn out how I wanted, but the taste we were right on point! So overall I would give it a 7.5/10 with room for improvement. I started by choppingContinue reading “Cottage Cheese Pasta Sauce”
