This is one of my Faves

🐔 Chicken Tikka Masala
🍚 with Basmati Rice and
🥕 Freshly Steamed Green Beans & Carrots

🌾 Rice always in the rice cooker because it makes it so much easier.
🍗 Chicken trimmed, seasoned and seared in the Cast Iron. Once a nice golden on both sides add sauce.
🥫I grab a jar premade from the store because I can’t seem to locate the Tikka Paste to make the sauce myself.
Kroger brand has prove. To be pretty tasty. At this point I just turn it on low let it simmer.
🫛Cut and cook my veggies. Finished cooking in some soy and brown sugar and then place on top. ☀️ It’s a good addition is some Brightness and freshness

👂 Okay so hear me out on this one…
Sometimes we run low on food, forgot to shop in time, ran too late to make a whole dinner so I have to throw something together with leftovers or whatever we have (this is typically my favorite time to cook 👩‍🍳)

🍲 Remember that chili I made?
I made it with stew meat- per the request of my man.
⏰ With no other cooked proteins to be made quickly enough and starting dinner at 8pm I had to think fast with what we had

Bbq Beef Mini Pizzas

🥖 First key ingredient to delicious easy pizza is Mini Naans. These are a steal from Costco. Get more for less.

🥩 I shredded the meat in a small mixing bowl and tossed with bbq sauce and ranch.

🍕 For the sauce on the pizza a combo of pizza sauce and bbq then thin layer cheese topped with meat, diced peppers.

I toast the naans in the air fryer for about 1 min each side and then add toppings and toast until cheese is melted.

Last nights dinner.
So I really was not sure what I was making the whole time until the very end. It started off with knowing I wanted to make some fresh steamed veggies .
🥗 Cauliflower, carrots and broccoli
I steamed each one individually then tossed them together with a little butter, salt and fresh parsley. A nice California blend.

🍗 From there I marinaded my chicken in some soft summery flavors:
🪴 Fresh basil, sun dried tomatoes, garlic, salt, pepper and mayonnaise.
Mayo is a great tenderizer and keeps your chicken so moist.
🧀 I grilled these off then topped them with Costcos Spinach & Artichoke dip grated some fresh parm and finished in the oven Broiler. It got all nice and bubbly and was a nice addition, without any sauce.

The final compliment to the dish as the kids always love their noodles, was a simple pasta dish. I boiled the noodles in the steamy vegetable water then drained and added in the remaining ingredients while still warm.
🧈 Butter, feta, parm and salt. Kids loved it more than their veggies 🤦‍♀️
🥦 🥕 They love broccoli around here and sugary maple carrots, but would not eat my cauliflower and carrots tonight.
However my son was missing tonight and he loves his cauliflower always makes me proud with that, hopefully he’ll be able to enjoy the leftovers ☺️

🌾 General Tsos Grilled Chicken Thigh
With Fried rice

🐔 Marinaded chicken thigh with Soy, ginger, garlic and teriyaki and then basted with General Tsos sauce as it grilled.

🍳 Fried rice is simple. Cooked rice, eggs, and whatever veggies you desire, lil bit of seasoning and soy sauce and it’s good to go.

🛑 I’m going to stop you right here.
This dish is sooooo simple and sooo full of flavor

🥩 Tonight I got me some fresh Ribeye Steaks
Shoutout to our Local Meat Market The Country Market
I have to brag about this place a little bit because what they are doing there is something great.

🌟 They keep their meats fresh and prepackaged to help keep the freshness and they run sales consistently, among 9000 other reasons they are so great. These Ribeyes were $15ish/lb and that’s a steal around here, and I feel good about eating them. Other places leave me wondering on the quality, but with Country Market you know you are getting the best.
🧂 Anywayssss… As Ribeyes flavor speak for themselves you do not need to add a lot of seasoning. Typically just a little salt/pepper and a nice char on the grill and you’re golden.
For mine I add a little Worcestershire, granulated Garlic and fresh Rosemary before grilling.
Once they are cooked to your liking and are well rested get them babies sliced up and plated.
🍁 To finish these off I buttered them with the Maple Spread I mentioned in my breakfast post. The spread is kept in the fridge and it becomes consistency of a tub of butter. Thick, soft and Spreadable.
I then added some of the Mustard from the same post and OMGawwwwwdd 💁‍♀️these steaks were phenomenal.
💣 By far the best flavor Bomb of some steaks.
You have to go find the Maple Spread, it has such a balancing feature in the right circumstance and everything taste 10x as good 😋

💍 I am thinking this one will get me the proposal that’s long due 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

🐣 Grilled Greek Chicken & Cucumber Basmati Rice
The chicken marinaded in yogurt, lemon 🍋, Garlic 🧄 and herbs then finished off on the grill.
Rice made in the rice cooker and then added the cucumber salad
🥒 Creamy Cucumber salad
Seeded, peeled and diced Cucumbers
🧅 Minced Red Onion
🧄 Minced Garlic
🍋 Fresh Lemon Juice
🍦 Greek yogurt
A TBS of mayo
🧀 Feta cheese
🍅 Grape tomatoes (diced)

Couldn’t figure out what to do for dinner. The boy suggested Tacos. Apparently his favorite dinner these day. For us they just are not sounding good, so we made a compromise.

With our large family we stick to our two main proteins: ground beef and chicken. Iykyk
With that being said we get sick of the same ole, same ole, so the little guy got his tacos and we elevated ours into…

🥩 🧀 Philly Cheesesteak Quesadillas.
I separated a small portion of meat for tacos and kept ours ready for the flavor gang.
🫑 🌿 🧄 🧅 First I sautéed the beef and started to layer my flavors: a touch of fresh rosemary, a blend of spices, Worcestershire sauce, fresh garlic, a tsp of beef base, A1 to tie in the steak flavor and a few little pinches of some other things.
🥩 I had the peppers and onions sautéed on the side then tossed in with the beef.
🧀 Then we took the tortilla shells and started layering. Did a little spread with sour cream, a lil mayo and granulated garlic. Evenly spread across the tortilla, added our cheese, then the beef mixture and cheese on top. Finally add the top tortilla.
🧈 Using a non stick pan with some melted butter, medium low heat we seared the quesadillas on both sides until golden and melty.

⭐️ 🌟 Trick here is the heat management: you don’t want the high heat that’s get the golden right away, you want it to take its time so that the cheese melts together with everything else.

I share because I love what I do. I enjoy making different dinners as I get bored with the same thing. Plus when I share I get motivation for taking pictures of my plates to share with yall.
Family always eats first because I sit on the side taking 20 pictures before I decide I have enough to choose from to post.
