Broccoli Beef Noodle Stir Fry

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

I got this great recipe from Jaden's Steamy Kitchen, and she found it in Noodles Every Day: Delicious Asian Recipes from Ramen to Rice Sticks. This was a bit more effort than your average stir fry with the added step of noodles, but the flavor was just great! ...

Beef Stroganoff

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

This is an easy and warming meal for a misty evening. Shaun's away this weekend, so I can use a little dairy in some of my cooking if I feel like it. This Russian dish is often made with thin strips of beef, but ground beef is what ...

Beef and Zucchini Stuffed Shells

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

This is a tasty Italian dish inspired by my mom's spaghetti sauce. Feel free to use your own marinara if you have some on hand. I'm just out and need to make another batch to freeze! The Barilla sauce is really pretty decent, though, and works well ...

A Nice Relaxing Christmas

Friday, December 25th, 2009

We had a nice relaxing Christmas, starting with sleeping in, then opening gifts, Emma included, enjoying some bacon and fried potatoes for breakfast, a day of watching goofy movies and TV, a standing rib roast for dinner, and more fun TV for the evening. We just started watching Penn ...

Cassie’s Chili

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

This is my recipe for chili. It's a great cold weather meal. My office is having a chili cook-off as part of our holiday party tomorrow, so I made up a batch. I'll bring in my slow-cooker tomorrow and let it simmer all morning too. *...And a small ...

Steak and Mushroom Sandwiches

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

I've been seeing more and more vacuum-packed beef options at my grocery store. I like these since they stay fresh so well. We regularly pick up flank steak or flat iron steak. This time I picked up some steak that was pre-sliced very thinly and browned it ...

Italian Beef Turnovers

Friday, October 30th, 2009

This recipe was inspired by this Taste of Home recipe for Trick or Treat Turnovers. Shaun isn't a fan of mustard or cheese, so I took these a different route and did a sort of Italian-flavored filling. We thought the biscuits didn't quite match with the filling, which ...

A Nice Steak Dinner

Monday, October 19th, 2009

My mom is in town for just the evening, so we had a nice steak dinner as we watched the Broncos game. It was really nice to catch up with her :-)

What We’ve Been Eating

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

So, I've been a bad blogger and not really posting about our meals. There have been a lot of tried and true recipes with the occasional small twist, so not much new, but I'll post a bit of a summary anyway. Galbi with Sautéed Summer Squash and Rice Pork, Mushroom, and ...

Lamb Stir Fry

Monday, July 6th, 2009

This was an experiment to use up some of the leftover lamb roast. It was okay, but the lamb didn't really mesh well with the other flavors. Next time I might try a more Mongolian blend of spices, but for this set of veggies and seasoning, I'd suggest ...
