Dessert Paninnis

These are very simple and easy with a lot of variations that you could do.

Here is what I used but you could do banna, peach, peanut butter, etc.  Use whatever you like.  I cooked mine on a griddle because I don't have a pinni press or George Forman.
Marshmallows
Strawberries
Nutella
Nice Break I like Sourdough

Slice up the strawberries and bread.

Cut marshmallows in half and put some nutella on the other side of the bread and top with strawberries.

Cook on a hot griddle with a little butter and flip when they are golden on one side.

Drizzle with chocolate sauce

Siracha Honey chicken bites with fried rice.

Let's start with rice because it takes longer and then we will do the chicken.

2 tablespoons of soy sauce
1/4 teaspoons of red pepper flakes
1 bell pepper
1 carrot
3-4 gloves of garlic
1 egg
fresh ginger
1 onion
2 tablespoons of rice vinegar
salt to taste
2ish cups of cooked rice (not in picture)

Zest up the garlic and zest in about a tablespoon of ginger.  Dice up onion and bell peppers.  Cook in a skillet with butter or olive oil.  Then add in thinly sliced carrot.  I used my mandolin. Cook until tender.

Crack in egg and scramble into mixture.

Add rice, salt, pepper, soy, and vinegar. and heat for a couple min.

Now on to the sauce:

 1/2 cup of honey
1/2 cup of siracha
1/4 cup on fresh lime juice

Whisk together and set aside.

Chicken:
desired amount of chicken breasts or tenders.  I like them because they are smalled and easier to manage
flour and bread crumbs

 Cut up chicken into bite size pieces.  Toss with a mixture of flour and bread crumbs.  Cook in a skillet until golden and then pour on the sauce.

Add extra sauce to rice if desired

Tomato Soup

1 containter of chicken stock
1 large can of tomato sauce
1 small can of petite diced tomatoes
1 carrot
1 onion
4-5 cloves of garlic
2 cup of cream
2 tablespoons of salt
2 tablespoons of Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
(corn starch if needed to thicken
fresh basil
mozzarella

 Dice up onion, shred carrot, and mince garlic.  Cook for a 3-4 min in a medium sauce pan until tender and translucent.

Add diced tomatoes and seasonings.  Cook until most of the liquid has cooked off.

Add tomato sauce, chicken broth, and cream and bring to a simmer.

Transfer to a crock pot and simmer for several hours or leave in sauce pan and simmer very low for a couple hours.

Whisk in corn starch at the end if needed to thicken.  Top with fresh basil and mozzarella.  Serve with cheesy bread

Pizza Stuffed Mushrooms

These took on longer than 10 minutes to prepared and then you can pop them in the oven to bake.  I made mine the day a head and then I baked.

White button mushrooms
Black olives
Pepperoni
Cream Cheese
Mozzerella
2-3 Cloves of garlic
1/2 cup of tomato sauce
1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning

Cream together 3/4 cup of mozzerella, 1 8 oz package of cream cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic until fluffy

Finely dice up pepperoni, and olives and fold into cream cheese mixture (You can use any pizza toppings you want to)

Add in about 1/2 cup of tomato sauce and mix together

Pull stems out of the mushrooms.  They come right out and spoon some of the cream cheese mixture into the hole.

Bake at 375 for about 20-30 min until the mushrooms are tender.  It will vary depending on the size of the mushrooms.  They will through off some liquid which is fine.

Greek Salad Pita Pockets

My husband has been in the process of learning to like more vetables since he has met me.  Cucumbers and tomatoes are not high on his list and this has alot of those in it and he asked for seconds on this.

So let's start with the steak.  I marinated it over night but at least a couple of hours.
Stead that's good for grilling
4 tablespoons of olive oil
2 tablespoons of white vinegar (I was out so I used rice)
1 tablespoon of basamlic vinegar
1 teaspoon of seasoning salt
pepper to taste
1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning (not in pic)
3-4 cloves of garlic (not in pic)

Whisk together oil, vinegars, seasonings, and garlic

Chunk up the steak and stir in with marinade and then place in the fridge.  The olive oil will harden up in the fridge but that is fine.

Here is what you need.  You can vary it up depending on what you like.  Red onions and olives would be good too.  I don't like raw onions and we were out of olives
steak
1 english cucumber
cherry tomatoes
3-4 cloves of garlic
tzatziki sauce
pita pockers
olive oil
white vinegar
Italian seasoning
feta
pepperoncini
seasoning salt

Whisk together a couple tablespoons of oil and vinegar and then add in salt to taste, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, garlic

 Dice up the veggies and mix in dressing.  Its best if you let it rest for a little while so the flavors can meld.   So, I did this first and then started the steak to cook. 

Then grill the steak.  It was cold outside so I decided to cook mine in a cast iron skillet but the grill works fine too.  If you do it in the pan be sure you don't over crowd the pan or it will steam and not brown. After it is done it desired doneness let it rest for at least five min so the juiced cna reabsorb and then cut up into bite size pieces.

I know its kinda hard to see inside but slit the top of the pita and spread with tzatziki sauce.  Add in steak and salad and sprinkle with feta.

Huevoes Ranchers

Let's start with a good homemade salsa.  Salsa is always better after it sits for a while.

None of these are exact but its what I used.  Alot of times I use mango too.
Roma tomotes
1 onion
1 bell pepper
2 avacados
2 jalopenos
3-4 cloves of garlic
fresh lime juice
cilantro
cumin and salt to taste

 Finely dice up the tomatoes

Dice up the bell pepper.  Cut off the ends and then remove seeds and membranes.  Cut into match sticks and the dice up.

Peel onion and cut in half.  Make cuts down the onion but leaving the end intact.  Then slice parallel to the counter. Finally cut down and you will end up with a fine dice

Take the jalapenos and cut off ends and remove seeds and membranes.  Cut into matches sticks and then cut cross to dice up.

Roughly chop up avocados.

Finely mince up the garlic.  I like a lot but you can do whatever you want.

Zest in about 2 tablespoons of lime zest. Add in seasoning to taste.  Let rest for a couple hours.  Drain off excess liquid.  You might need to adjust seasoning.  When ready to serve add lime juice to taste and cilantro.

Now for the assembly.  You need:
Salsa
corn tortilla
eggs
cilantro
feta
Mexican sour cream

Warm tortilla on a griddle. Then cook eggs how ever you like.  I poached one and fried one but you can scramble them. Then top top with salsa, feta, sour cream, cilantro.
