Recipes I’ve made
Healthy chicken enchiladas. Pretty simple recipe and they were yummy!! More lime next time in the filling + on the side. Would also be better with some more toppings -- cilantro, guac, sour cream would all be good.
I liked the filling a lot -- could also just serve the filling over rice with toppings!
Steak, mashed potatoes and green beans for V-Day! I got two ~.8 lb ribeyes, seasoned with salt and pepper, seared them in butter + olive oil and then finished them off in the oven @ 400. I used our in-oven thermometer to get them to the right temp and it worked GREAT. Will continue doing that going forward.
Green beans were salt + pepper + olive oil in the oven @ 400 for ~20 min. I thought they were overdone but Rob liked so... *shrug*
Mashed potatoes were microwavable ones from "simply potatoes" muahahah (they're actually really good)
ATK corn muffins & chili. SO unphotogenic but turned out great!! I did the full two hour simmer on the chili and I think it was worth it -- just requires a little thinking ahead. The muffins were good, not as sweet as TJs mix and could've been moister (more sour cream next time?) but got the job done in terms of being freezer-prep friendly.
Continuing my love and lemons muffin kick with chocolate chip muffins! Delicioussssss
recipe
Scramble some eggs, microwave some bacon, put cream cheese on a mini blueberry bagel. Ta da!
Peanutty pork and brussels! Except I used turkey bc Trader Joe's doesn't sell ground pork 😡 this a repeat recipe in our household bc it's so easy and it's delish!
Oops I made brownies again
Dumpling soup: continuing my love and lemons obsession. This was really good and also easy! 10/10 would make again.
Modifications: used chicken broth + pork gyoza instead of making the recipe vegetarian as called for. I’m sure veggie would be good but I love me the Trader Joe’s pork gyoza!
We topped with chili crisp, scallions and rice vinegar and soy sauce for Rob.
Pumpkin muffins: yum! Not overly sweet or overly exciting but solid. https://www.loveandlemons.com/pumpkin-muffins/#wprm-recipe-container-51336
Pesto tuna melt from Run Fast, Cook Fast, Eat Slow for lunch! I was planning to be like “it’s cheap to even include this as a recipe in a cookbook” because it’s so simple. But actually it’s even worse bc this could’ve been better! I want my cheese meltier and the tuna warmed through more, so I would cover the pan next time and cook for longer.
Lasagna: ATK recipe and honestly ATK can do no wrong so
Carrot muffins: good base. I used the food processor to try and easily grate the carrots and I regret it. I should actually put in effort to grate them next time. Modifications I made to recipe: pumpkin spice mix instead of the specific spices (good!), no whole wheat flour (ain't nobody got whole wheat flour), no raisins (we're out and Rob doesn't like them but I think these would be better with the raisins).
Carrot Muffins Recipe - Love and Lemonswww.loveandlemons.comThese healthy carrot muffins are a delicious breakfast or snack! Packed with grated carrots, they're moist, tender, and warmly spiced.
Dessert: brownies. Better than box mix, more convenient, etc. Followed the recipe exactly (with the suggested modification of 1c sugar instead of 1.5c) and I don't think I'd change anything 🤷🏻♀️ could definitely swap in walnuts as a topping or something if I wanted. https://www.loveandlemons.com/brownies-recipe/#wprm-recipe-container-42107
Dinner: shrimp scampi and a simple salad. Rob is currently eating thirds aka it turned out well. I added cherry tomatoes which was a great addition and I should use parsley next time. Recipe was fine — for shrimp scampi you just need guidelines
