Vegetables and Rice

I'm so excited about this one!!!
I really had no idea what I was doing when I started and I made the sauce myself, using stuff I already had, so it took a while to find something that worked.
You will need:
  • Sausage (optional)
  • Peppers
  • Onions
  • Tomato
  • Mushrooms
  • Rice
and for the sauce
  • Honey garlic sauce
  • French dressing
  • Garlic
  • Ground mustard (a pinch)
  • Celery salt
  • Lemon pepper
  • Italian seasoning
  • Potato seasoning
  • Dill weed
When I started, the sausage was already cooked, but I'm sure you could do it without cooking it first and instead cook it with everything else. Spicy Italian sausage would be good but I just used regular sausage.

Start by cutting up all the vegetables into strips just like you would for a stir fry and putting them into a baking pan. After each layer, I added some spices on top as well - you can choose whichever ones you want. Add the sausage as well.

To make the sauce, mix about half and half of the honey garlic and french dressing - that will be the base. Add all of the spices, and you can even add a splash of ranch if the taste isn't quite right. Now, it may not taste fantastic right now (I found the honey garlic a little overpowering) but once it's cooked with all of the vegetables it'll taste much better. You want to have enough to make a small pool in the bottom of your dish, but the vegetables will add to the juices so don't worry if it doesn't look like you'll have enough for your rice.

Add the sauce to the vegetables and meat and stir it all up. Marinate it for about 2 hours to really get all the flavour into everything, and make sure you stir it every once in a while.

Now you want to heat the oven to around 350 degrees and put the mixture in the oven.
I cooked it for about 45 minutes but the vegetables were still a little crunchy so a little longer might be better - just make sure the veggies are soft. Again, make sure you stir it once or twice so the flavour is even.

Now cook your rice, top the rice with the mixture and you have a beautiful meal!!!

Here is it before I cooked it
 and this is after.
  

Believe me guys, this sauce is amazing, you HAVE  to try it.

Pierogies and Scrambled Eggs

Image
I absolutely LOVE pierogies, but I've always made them the same way; boil and then fry them. So this time, I decided to try something new, and pair them with some scrambled eggs for breakfast (or lunch). You will need: Ready-made pierogies (or home made, if you prefer)\ BBQ chicken seasoning Garlic salt Celery salt Two eggs (per person, I only made for me :P) 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese Butter or Pam for greasing the pan First, boil the pierogies until they are soft (cooked inside and no longer frozen). Grease a baking pan and place the pierogies on the pan. Sprinkle with chicken, celery and garlic seasoning on both sides and top with some mozzarella cheese. Broil for a few minutes, until the cheese is melted and pierogies have become slightly browned.  To make the eggs, crack them and put them in a small bowl, add a splash of milk, some BBQ seasoning, and the rest of the cheese, and mix until the eggs are all mixed together. Put in a frying pan stirring often to...

Cream cheese stuffed, bacon wrapped pork loin

Image
This is comfort food; there is nothing healthy about this.  I had a pack of nine of those small boneless pork loin chops and decided to do something super unhealthy with it! For 9 rolls, you need: 9 chops 1 package of garlic and herb cream cheese 1/2 cup of sweet BBQ sauce  1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese  1 teaspoon of garlic salt 1 pack of bacon Begin by tenderizing the meat to flatten it out. You can use whatever tools you have that work to do this; a meat tenderizer is ideal though.  Mix the cheese, cream cheese and garlic salt together in a bowl.  Spoon about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture into the centre of each pork chop, and roll it up. Coat it in BBQ sauce.  Wrap two slices of bacon around each pork chop roll.  Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through. If the bacon is not sufficiently crispy, put the oven on broil for a few minutes.

Garlic Basil Chicken with Tomato Butter Sauce (stolen and revised)

So I started off cooking this meal exactly as the recipe stated, but I didn't have all the exact ingredients, and the flavours just weren't where I wanted them to be, so I made some changes. I'll post the link to the original recipe, and then write out what I did below. I'm sorry I don't have any pictures this time! The only downfall of this recipe is that it's a bit time-consuming. However, you could always cook the chicken ahead of time, which would help. Original recipe is here . INGREDIENTS 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts salt and pepper 2 tsp garlic salt 2 tsp lemon pepper 2 tsp paprika 1/4 cup of half&half cream ¼ cup olive oil 5-6 roma tomatoes, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 small white onion, minced 3 tbsp dried basic  ¼ cup margerine 8 ounces pasta, like spaghetti, linguine, or bucatini (I used spaghettini) 1/2 cup of mushroom Ragu (if needed) INSTRUCTIONS Cover the chicken with plastic wrap and pound each p...
