Chicken Burgers Topped w/ Brie & Cranberries

There used to be this little cafe here in town that served these delicious sandwiches that consisted croissant, turkey, cranberries and brie cheese. Every time I went there I always got this sandwich, there was never any question about it. I was loyal to my sandwich. So what does one do when they can no longer go out and order their favorite sandwich? You make your own of course!

Chickpea & Tomato Curry


I hate it when something so delicious looks the total opposite in pictures. Oh well, what can you do, you'll just have to take my word for it. So even though this may not look very appetizing, just note that it is insanely good! (It's even better the next day when you eat the leftovers.) I saw this recipe on the Betty Crocker website and since I am a curry fan, decided to give it a try. It had great reviews and I love the fact that it could be made in about 30 minutes... because I had about an hour to figure out what I was making for dinner... before dinner time. I am really glad I spotted this recipe because it was really easy to make and very flavorful.

Healthified Garlic Shrimp Pasta

Ever have one of those days where you wait until the very last minute to figure out what to make for dinner? I do it all the time and usually end up eating hamburgers or leftovers for dinner. Except last week I was lucky enough to have everything on hand for this recipe from Betty Crocker. Well... almost everything at least.

Undone Stuffed Pepper Casserole

I LOVE stuffed peppers but with it being just the Mr. and I, making stuffed peppers is a whole lot of work for just two people. Not to mention that there is no such thing as making just 2 stuffed peppers, the filling you make could stuff a grocery store worth of peppers. So... what does one do when cooking for two? ALAS, I have the solution for you! (okay if you don't know what it is yet, then you clearly haven't been paying attention to the website you're currently on). Instead of stuffing "x" amount of peppers to use up your filling, what about mixing it all together in a pan, throwing it in the oven and forgetting about it until the oven screams "BEEP"? Oh, did I forget to add that it tastes exactly the same as its stuffed pepper cousin? Yup! I don't know about you but I always end up chopping my stuffed pepper up on my plate creating a chaotic mess anyways. So why not skip the extra steps and make a casserole. The leftovers are delicious and if you are cooking for just one, this is a perfect make ahead dish, you can store the leftovers in individual servings in your freezer for dinners down the road.
