Quinoa Salad

I was craving some healthy food for dinner tonight after I cooked the frozen cinnamon rolls from my cinnamon rolling post.  I’ll just say that I may have had more than two… …with cream cheese icing this time. Anyways, this quinoa salad is something I made a couple of times in the hostel kitchens in South [...]

Huevos Rancheros!

So this morning, I woke up and I realized that I had some ground beef that needed to be used.  Since I work at night for the next 3 nights, I figured it would have to become breakfast! What I did, was turn my family’s taco salad dinner into my own version of huevos rancheros!  So really I just [...]

The Best Salsa I Ever Made

It was surprisingly awesome and not as spicy [...]

Gnocchi Day

Potato skins and hashbrowns aren’t the only thing you can do with leftover baked potatoes people!  Little did you know, you could be making gnocchi!!  The restaurant I work in always has a lot of leftover baked potatoes at the end of the night, so I grabbed some and took them home the other day! Usually [...]
