BoyfriendšMe š I enjoyed it, but the boyfriend, not so much. He thought that the spice mixture was a bit weird. I loved the spice. The main difference from the original recipe is that I didnāt make the lime butter sauce to go on top since Iām not currently eating butter. I paired the cod…
Week of April 2
Iām going to attempt 75 Hard and my diet of choice is the Mediterranean Diet. Iām just not going to enjoy any red wine for 75 days. My shopping list is pretty long this week but Iām hoping it wonāt cost too much since itās mostly vegetables with some seafood SundaynomsRoasted Chili-Lime Cod BreakfastZucchini and…
Potsticker Noodle Bowl
https://iowagirleats.com/potsticker-noodle-bowls/ Boyfriend= ā¹ļøMe=š This is the first time heās given one of the dishes that Iāve cooked a ā¹ļø. His critique is that it tastes too bitter and it would have been better with chicken. I think the sauce is too salty since it lacks anything to balance the soy sauce and rice vinegar. It…
Vodka Chicken Fettuccini
Vodka ā Chickenā Fettuccine ā Vodka sauce is one of my favorite pasta sauces. Iām not a super huge fan of marinara, to be honest. Through in some vodka and heavy cream to that marinara and Iām a happy girl. I really liked this cookbookās vodka sauce recipe since it includes cannellini beans (the superior bean.)…
Banana-Nut Smoothie
So much yum to start off the day. Honestly I would qualify this more to be a milkshake than a smoothie. Thereās no ice cream involved but plenty of milk. I reduced how much milk the recipe called for since the original recipe is measured to 3 servings. But based on the nutritional information, it…
Fresh Spinach Party Dip
I was a bit hesitant when making this dish. It calls for a lot of dairy. While I love all things cheese, this was a lot since it includes yogurt, mayo and sour cream. I even began looking up how to turn it into a baked spinach dip if it didnāt set right. No need…
Week of March 27
I plan a week ahead so I can get in my Imperfect Foods order. I’m off a good portion of this week so I may cook more recipes, or less. We’ll see how the week works out.

Buffalo Chicken Salad and Sparkling Pink Lemonade
We had a smiley face night. We gave both recipes a nice big š I thought that Pink Lemonade was pretty sweet at first but it grew on me. I was happy to find the frozen pink lemonade concentrate at Wegmans. Since this punch makes such a big bowl of punch, I couldnāt mix it…
Celery Root Mash (Crab Cakes and Green Beans)
Eh. I was pretty disappointed with the celery root mash. The directions called to cook the celery root in the microwave for 8 minutes. I kept testing and wasnāt exactly happy with the texture. I ended up cooking the celery root for a combined total of 12 minutes, until I just gave up. I think…
Sole Almondine and Mashed Purple Potatoes
My dad sent me a shipment of Omaha Steaks seafood for Christmas and so far Iāve been pleasantly surprised. I was really excited for the sole entrees since I donāt see sole in grocery stores around here. Iāve cooked these both in the oven and the air fryer and Iām a fan. The breading isnāt…
