Black Pepper Beef

Alex suggested that I try to make Chinese Black Pepper beef.  I looked for a recipe, and we had it for dinner!

Sweet Potato, Pineapple, and Veggie Focaccia

Doug's off camping with the Scouts, the Halloween candy was baked up last week, so today is a savory with a bit of sweet recipe for me.


 

Mediterranean Chicken with Garlic Yogurt Sauce

I bought feta at Costco, so decided it was time for Mediterranean Chicken. I also made some Kale and Feta Dolmas to go with it.

Quinoa and Chickpea Stuffed Peppers

I was looking for a vegetarian stuffed pepper recipe, and found a recipe that sounded good (so I adapted it a bit...)

Chicken and Bell Pepper Biryani

I wanted to try a Chicken Biryani recipe, but we are trying to be lower carb. So I made up some brown rice separately, and served it with Spinach Dal and naan.

Bell Pepper and Kale Puttanesca Stir Fry

 I was looking for a bell pepper side dish, and mixed two recipes to make this Bell Pepper and Kale Puttanesca Stir Fry,

 

InstantPot Black Bean Curry

I was wanting a vegetarian dinner, and NOT Mexican. So we are having Black Bean Curry with Indian spices.

Chicken Primavera

I wanted to make a dish with chicken and mushrooms and veggies in the Instant Pot, so I adapted a Pasta Primavera recipe.

Sausage with White Beans and Kale

This is my first no-kitchen dinner that I cooked during the kitchen renovations, so I'm trying a simple Instant Pot recipe. (It also used up some older kale I had in the refrigerator.)

Mexican Chicken Bean and Veggie Soup

I had a jalepeno pepper and some avocados, so I decided it would be a Mexican dinner tonight. I also had the time tonight, so I cooked the beans first before adding the chicken so I could be sure the beans were tender.

Confetti Kielbasa

Doug bought kielbasa at Costco, so I have been looking for recipes for it. This one was fun!

Mongolian Beef with Veggies - Instant Pot

Peg posted a link to a Mongolian Beef recipe. I decided to try an Instant Pot version since I had fresh ginger.

Mohammara

I had some mohammara when at a deli with my mom. I finally got around to making my own version.

Sheet Pan Fajita Chicken

I decided to make Fajita Chicken for Cinco de Mayo.

Smoky Lentils and Sausage

Still trying out the Instant Pot. Tonight we had smoky lentils with sausage.

Broccoli, Kale, and Sauage Pasta

Mom was suggestion a non-chicken dinner with a lot og veggies, so I was looking for something to use broccoli and sausage - I found this recipe!

Low Carb Stuffed Peppers

I bought bell peppers today at Costco, but found when I got home that I already had five. Since we are trying to eat more low carb, I made up a low carb stuffed pepper recipe.

Mexican Casserole

Doug was interested in a Mexican casserole cooked in a Dutch oven for a Boy Scout Court of Honor. I cooked up this casserole:

Cheesy Chicken Quinoa

So it's National Mac and Cheese Day, but we are trying to eat lower carb. We had Cheesy Chicken Quinoa with green chilis, roasted peppers and onions, and avocados.

Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole

We are eating lower carb, which we translate to mean more veggies. Doug suggested trying some different spices, so I found a Chicken Bacon Ranch casserole to try.
