Mexican Pizza

I had some ground beef to use, and was planning to make tacos, until I had the bright idea to try and make a Mexican pizza for the first time! This was so simple and there are a couple different ways you can make this. For example, if you want a bigger meal if you are really hungry, you can place another tortilla on top of the beef and put all the toppings on the top. I must warn you- this is how I made my first pizza, and could only eat half of it! I am going to show you how to make a 1- layered pizza. Hope you enjoy!

Chicken & Chorizo Stuffed Peppers

I had some lonely chicken breasts sitting in my refrigerator and I didn't know what to make with it.  While browsing the produce section in the grocery store, I came upon the colorful bell pepper section, and I came up with an idea. A southwestern style stuffed bell pepper! The end result of my dish was a colorful and tasty dish that is sure to please!

My Favorite! Spaghetti Bolognese

This is one of my all-time favorite dinners growing up! This is an original recipe straight from my moms kitchen, and everyone who tries it- LOVES IT! I will never grow tired of this dinner, and you won't either- I promise.

Chicken Parmesan

Ingredients:

4 Boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 egg, slightly beaten

1/3 cup dry bread crumbs

1 jar Pasta Sauce

Shredded Mozzarella cheese

Tortellini Amore

Tortellini Amore is one of my favorite pasta dishes. I got the idea from a restaurant back home in Maryland, and created it from scratch at home. Its a delicious concoction of tortellinis in a heavy creamy garlic sauce with peas and prosciutto. This recipe is really easy and makes 4-6 servings, depending on how hungry you are! 

BBQ'd Chili Beef Sandwiches

This dish is so easy! I woke up at 7am on Monday and put the ingredients into my slow cooker, set the timer to low, and headed off for a day of snowboarding at Alpine Meadows. By the time I got home, it was done cooking and ready to scoop onto kaiser rolls and be devoured!

Pasta Carbonara

Pasta Carbonara is basically a spaghetti and bacon dish..... and it is delicious! In this recipe, eggs are added to the pasta raw, but don't worry, the heat from the cooked pasta will cook the egg. For different variations on this dish you could always add peas or mushrooms for added color and flavor. 

Creamy Chicken Marsala

This is the creamier style chicken Marsala recipe, and my favorite style of chicken Marsala. You can choose what to serve the chicken over, I chose egg noodles, which was pretty yummy! You may also think of serving it over rice too.

Chicken Marsala

There are many different ways to make chicken Marsala, but all of them include a chicken breast that has been seasoned, browned and braised in a rich wine sauce. Chicken Marsala is extremely easy to make, and an impressive dish for beginner cooks. 

This recipe is for a not-so-creamy Chicken Marsala. It is very light and delicious, and the chicken remains extremely moist throughout the cooking process. 

Delicious Chicken Scaloppine

Did you have a rough day at school? Too much homework? Finals on their way? If you need to let out some frustration, this it the recipe for you!! This recipe calls for pounding chicken until its super-skinny. So get out your mallets and let loose!!

I felt ambitious tonight and decided to make something I have never made before! I really had no idea what it was going to taste like, and once it was done and devoured, let me tell you- it was absolutely delicious! I had most of the ingredients already in my cupboard, so it cost me under $6.00 at the grocery store, which is always nice! HINT: It always helps to cut costs if you buy your chicken in bulk, you can keep what you need in the refrigerator and freeze the rest for another recipe on another day.
