Sweet cherry tomato and white wine pasta

This pasta sauce is really easy to make and you can make a small amount with just the cherry tomatoes or add a few regular sized ones to make a meal or side dish for the family.

For a side dish amount for four, you'll need:
1/2 pack of cherry tomatoes
1 large regular tomato
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 onion, diced
1 red pepper, chopped (optional)
2 tablespoons of garlic powder
2 tablespoons of Greek seasoning

Sautée the onions and garlic until soft and then add the diced tomatoes and the red pepper. Let that simmer for a while until all the juices are out and then add the seasoning.

Cook pasta until al dente and add to the sauce.

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...

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...

Savoury Teriyaki Chicken and Veggies

Image
This a good meal even if you're only cooking for one or two. I work nights, so single meals are important for me. I also LOVE teriyaki chicken. You can get teriyaki sauce at pretty much any grocery store in the international isle, or an Asian grocery store. You can also make it, if you're feeling ambitious. That recipe can be found via google or any of my previous teriyaki chicken recipes. What you need for one LARGE serving: 1 medium chicken breast (can be pre-cooked or left over) 1 cup of the rice of your choice (I like sticky rice) cooked accordingly 1/2 - 1 cup of teriyaki sauce A pinch each of garlic salt, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper seasoning 1.5 tablespoons of cooking oil 1/3 of a white onion, chopped or sliced 1 garlic clove, minced Any other veggies you enjoy in a stir fry Cook your rice according to the type of rice. While you're doing this, begin sautéing your onion and garlic in the olive oil until the onion is transparent. Cut the chicken brea...
