Life Through My Eyes
Late last week, on Friday, I made open-faced Chicken Parmesan sandwiches for dinner for my family: I had loaves of Italian bread sitting at home, and I couldn’t think of what to make with it. Here’s how I made it: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a skillet. Flatten pieces …
Today I made homemade dinner rolls from scratch [with rosemary and black pepper]: Very quickly, I learned that I need a Stand Mixer. That a hand mixer simply won’t do. Not going to lie, but it was pretty hard to control the bowl and the hand mixer with the dough using the hand mixer. But …
Here’s my take on the Oven Fried Chicken that I made tonight: I originally wanted to use thyme as the main herb in the recipe, but of course I had none at the moment. I had every other type of herb in my pantry, but of course not the one I wanted/needed. Parsley, Oregano, Basil, …
Today, I made shrimp similar to the one I made a few weeks ago. This time, however, I baked it. In my opinion, it turned out better (in comparison to the sauteed version from last time). I think baking it helped the shrimp cook evenly too. As always, I kept it really simple- and used …
This is a few days late, but here’s a few of the things I made for Thanksgiving this year: Full chicken with potatoes and peas (because I don’t like turkey): Yummy is the only way to describe this. Spinach-Cheese Swirls: I had been wanting to make these for such a long time now, and I …

Don’t you just love it when you are just working with a few basic ingredients, and the next thing you know, you’ve made something that turns out delicious? I had chicken to work with and I needed to use up these rolls that I use to make different kinds of sandwiches a lot. I cut …
One of the most comforting food for me are chicken nuggets. And I love making mine homemade. Here’s how I make mine: Mix the following seasonings: salt, pepper, garlic, ginger, paprika, and cayenne pepper. I use this seasoning as a basis for pretty much everything. And I mean everything. Those seasonings you just mixed? Sprinkle …
We usually never get pita bread in our house. But a week or so ago, when we ordered takeout from a local Mediterranean place, they also gave us a packet of pita bread with our order for some reason. I had been trying to think of what to make with it to make use of …
So for dinner today, I was working with tilapia (my absolute favorite fish!) I didn’t want to fry it like I do usually. I thought about grilling it like I did last time, but I wanted it still to be juicy enough inside (without becoming tough). I wanted a breaded crust, but I didn’t want …
