Super Bowl Apps
I KNOW! Super Bowl happened in February. But I made these super delicious apps and totally forgot to post AND take a picture. I was craving these and realized that I never captured the success here. Ugh! Well, as soon as I make them again (likely Fathers Day), I’ll add the pics Buffalo Chicken Sliders…

Blue Bayou Gumbo – Attempt #1
We had the best time at Disneyland. Now that I’m home, I’m missing the food so bad. We were lucky enough to get reservations at The Blue Bayou one day and enjoyed the gumbo and 2 glasses of Pinot Noir. So, why not try to recreate it – missing the boats rolling by. Funny side…

Trader Joe’s Thai Yellow Curry
I recently discovered Trader Joe’s bottled Thai yellow curry sauce. It’s really good and comforting. It’s definitely not YaYa’s curry. It tastes a bit more like Japanese curry. But it’s damn good. I made it traditional style with chicken and potatoes (I didn’t have bamboo shoots). Basically, I put 1 and a half chicken breast,…

Bake Sale Betty Knock Offs
I’ve never been to the restaurant but friends have had parties with Bakesale Betty catering. Bakesale Betty is a restaurant in Oakland, CA. And although, I’ve never been, I love Betty. These chicken fried sandwiches that she has inspired me to make for every major sporting/watch-and-eat event. They’re crunchy and savory and oh so easy…

Baked Chicken Alfredo Ziti
The husband loved this dish. I think mostly because it was made of leftovers but totally remade. We had some ziti that was cooked for meat sauce and we had the beer can chicken leftovers. Luckily, we had milk, Parmesan, chicken broth, garlic and some mozzarella too. I cooked 2 cloves of minced garlic with…

Spicy Basil Chicken and Yellow Curry
I could eat this everyday. It’s fun to mix it up too by plopping an over easy egg on top. After the first day, the gai gra prow gets spicier and the richness of the fried egg perfectly balances the spice. I think I’ll make this tonight. I do have two little humans at home.…
