Drumsticks and creamy mashed potatoes with a vegetable medley

This was super yummy, except I found the veggies a little too strongly flavored, so another sauce might be better or just less of it.

For the veggies you'll need:

I medium tomato
1 small red bell pepper
1/2 large orange bell pepper
1 medium onion
3-6 radishes
1 cup of chopped green beans
1/3 of a cucumber
1/2 cup of Italian dressing
3 tablespoons of garlic salt
3 tablespoons of Greek seasoning
1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella or feta cheese

Chop up all of the veggies into bite sized pieces and place in a large bakin dish. Make sure that everything is spread out and not piled up too much.
Sprinkle with the seasonings and then pour the dressing evenly overtop. Adding some catalina or something else that is sweet may help with the flavour.

Bake at 425 for 30-40 minutes or until the veggies start to brown. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheese over top. This would also be really good raw as a sort of veggie salad.

For the chicken, you just need about 15 chicken drumsticks and my homemade BBQ sauce (if you like it, I suggest making a large amount so you don't have to do it every time). I like ti put the chicken and the sauce in a freezer bag and shake it up to make sure they all get coated with sauce. You can find the recipe in previous entries.
BBQ the chicken until it begins to crisp up.

For the mashed potatoes you need:

6-8 white potatoes, quartered
1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, chopped
2 teaspoons of garlic powder
1/2 cup or so of ranch dressing
1/4 cup of dill sauce

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and put potatoes into it. Boil potatoes until the are soft all the way through.

Drain the potatoes and add the remaining ingredients, putting the pot back on the stove on medium-low to melt the cheese. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes and mix everything together well.

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...
