Life Through My Eyes
I’m still working on updating with recipes for things I’ve posted about in the past. These Garlic and Cheesy Breadsticks: I’ve made alongside my homemade pizza(s), as snacks, and as an appetizer for a super bowl party amongst other things. You need: Pizza dough, enough to cover a pizza pan (homemade or store-bought) [Olive] oil …
These Spinach and Cheese Swirls are a great and quick, appetizer or snack! You will need: 1 sheet of [Pepperidge Farm] Puff Pastry 1 egg 1 tablespoon of water 1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and …
My mom really liked the roasted red potatoes I made a while back, and wanted me to make that again. Today, I made a similar, yet different version. I used small gold potatoes. And used a combination of different spice and herbs. Both: equally delicious. I served it alongside baked tilapia that I topped off …
To serve alongside my homemade fried chicken, I made smashed potatoes Thursday night as well. Here’s how: I took small potatoes in a pot, added water [just enough to cover the potatoes], and let them cook over high heat until the potatoes were fork tender. Meanwhile, line your baking sheet with foil [for easy cleanup], …
I am not usually a fan of biscuits, but for some reason I’ve been wanting to make my own for a while now. Probably because the rest of my family love biscuits as a side order or a snack. These homemade ones, that I made today, turned out great — soft, fluffy, moist, and absolutely …
The night I made the Cheddar Bay Biscuits, I also made these fries that I seasoned with some spices and herbs that I put together. They were delicious! I originally wanted to make roasted potatoes to serve along with the Cheddar Bay Biscuits, but I didn’t have any potatoes at home that day. With no …
Mangoes are one of my favorite fruits, alongside guavas. Strawberries and watermelon come a close second. Usually when I have mangoes on hand, I want to just eat it as in. It never lasts long enough for me to use it as a part of a meal. With raw mangoes in hand, I decided to …
Today, to serve alongside with another variation on my oven-fried chicken [this time I also used thyme alongside the rosemary and basil] for dinner, I roasted small red potatoes, mixing a combination of herbs and spices that made them wonderful. The aroma as they were in the oven was amazing, and so was the aftermath. Preheat …
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like these biscuits that are originally from Red Lobster. I devour them, and probably fill myself up with them before I am even served my dinner. And then take some home at the end of the night. I love them. Tonight, I made them from scratch at home! What you …
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 …
