Chicken Street Tacos

We love tacos in our house, it’s even one of our kid’s favorite dinners too so I make quite a few different kinds to mix it up from time to time. This recipe is a little more authentic than others because the only toppings we use are cilantro, onions, and lime. Ingredients: Around 6 chicken…

Campfire Greenbeans

This weekend was an annual campout that my friends and family participate in, its basically a weekend we can all get together and relax outdoors while eating and drinking as much as possible (everyone needs time like that every now and again). This year I decided to make lunch on one of our days there….

Crazy Easy French Dip Sandwiches

My husband loves sandwiches, they are his favorite food group, and he doesn’t discriminate what kind. One of my favorites is a French dip sandwich. I was at the store the other day trying to figure out dinner, it was getting late and I didn’t want to deal with a big mess or a complicated…

Crispy Beef

Fan favorite here!! This is one of my favorite things I make and it is also one of the most requested from friends and family. Oddly enough this was one of the first recipes I mastered of my Americanized Chinese food. Once I figured out the kinks on this one it made making other kinds…

Buffalo Chicken Flatbread Pizza

So here is another recipe for you buffalo chicken fans out there! My husband’s favorite pizza from an unnamed pizza chain….is the buffalo chicken pizza. It gets expensive to order whenever the craving strikes and there was always something he would want more or less of so we decided to try it ourselves. Funny thing…
