Sweet Salmon Recipe

September 6, 2012 by Larisha Campbell 3 Comments

Five years ago if you told me I would love salmon, I would have laughed in your face.  I hated fish unless it was fried and usually came from restaurants where it only took under 5 minutes to cook in very unhealthy grease. I have slowly added it into my diet and now am to the point where I have fish at least once a week.  Especially being pregnant, the benefits of fish are amazing.  This sweet salmon recipe is delicious and we make it at least once a month!
When you see these 5 ingredients, I’m sure you’re really thinking I’m crazy when I say mix together. There’s no way I’m putting this on fish right? Wrong. I am.  I promise it’s a winner!
So first grab the ingredients,

Put them all in a bowl and stir to combine.

Lightly season your salmon with salt and pepper.

Place salmon on greased grill and brush sauce over. Cook for 6 minutes.

Flip salmon, brush with more sauce and cook for an additional 6 minutes.

*I occasionally brush more sauce on throughout the cooking process, but this is up to you.

Filet Mignon Recipe on a Budget

September 4, 2012 by Larisha Campbell 5 Comments

I know what you’re thinking…My post title is an oxy-moron. Can you really make a filet mignon recipe on a budget.   If you know me, you know I coupon, shop clearance racks, and try to pinch every penny we have.  However, Andrew is a bit more laxed and we both enjoy eating out.  Andrew is super picky, so when we do eat out and he’s in the mood for steak, he will only get filet mignon.  Primarily, it’s because he hates ANY fat whatsoever on meat.

I usually do great with my budget.  Our local grocery store always has sales on meat and I stock up to stretch our money further; however, sometimes Andrew runs into the store with me and I know every time this happens, something I didn’t account for will get thrown into our cart.  This past weekend, it was filet mignon.  If you’ve read my other recipes, you know I’ve barely cooked steak before and I’m always super nervous.  This was even more nerve wracking because I know how much Andrew loves it.

Please use this guide to know what temperature to cook your meat.

For this filet mignon recipe I marinaded meat in Roasted Red Pepper dressing for 30 minutes.  Leave meat out to reach room temperature while marinating (this ensure it cooks evenly). Remove meat from marinade and sprinkle each side with cracked black pepper and sea salt.

I only have a George Foreman grill, but if you have a flat cast iron, I suggest using that and heating it very hot. Cover bottom of grill or pan with olive oil.

Cook 4 minutes on each of the four sides (this was for medium–please refer to the guide above for what your temperature should be based on your desired doneness).

Let rest for 5 minutes to redistribute the juices inside and let it finish cooking.  If you do not let it rest, juice will go every where once cut.

Cut and enjoy with your favorite sides.  We had broccoli and loaded mashed potatoes.

Andrew was so impressed and said this was the best steak I’ve ever made.  It was definitely much cheaper (only $13 for both) than getting it at a restaurant, so who knows, maybe it will be on the menu more in the future!

Creamy Pepper Slow Cooker Chicken

August 21, 2012 by Larisha Campbell 1 Comment

Two things are known.  I love my slow cooker recipes and I love spicy food.  Even being pregnant, a majority of my cravings have focused around spicy food. I found the idea for this recipe here. I made some changes and in the end absolutely love this creamy pepper slow cooker chicken.

I did have to laugh as this recipe somewhat backfired on me.  Since being pregnant, my skin has definitely been more sensitive and not thinking about it, I sliced the peppers without gloves. My hands burned for HOURS afterwards and no matter what I tried as a remedy it didn’t ease up very much.  Luckily, I was able to fall asleep and when I woke up the next morning, it didn’t burn anymore.  I will definitely be using gloves from here on out!

Start by washing your chicken and removing any fat.  I used bone-in thighs because it’s what I had.

Sprinkle with chili powder and salt evenly.

Place chicken in greased crock pot.  Add chicken broth, lemon juice, and peppers. Cook. Make sauce with the juice, cream cheese, flour, and salt/pepper.

Pour sauce over chicken. Top with bacon.

Pork Fajitas

August 11, 2012 by Larisha Campbell 2 Comments

One of my main problems that I typically encounter when cooking is that packaged meat portion sizes are just too large for 2 people.  I get stuck trying to figure out what to do with all the leftovers. I made a pork tenderloin the other day and between the both of us, we didn’t even eat half of the 3 1/2lb tenderloin.  We don’t eat pork often, and I had never cooked a pork tenderloin before, so what in the world was I going to do with the leftover meat.  Somehow, by the grace of God, an idea popped into my head in make pork fajitas.
I started by shredding about a pound of the leftover tenderloin.

Next I chopped a cup of mixed peppers.

Shred half a block of Cracker Barrel Jalapeno Cheese.

Spray a medium sized skillet with cooking spray on medium high heat and add the shredded pork and peppers. Cook for 10 minutes

In a separate pan on medium, spray with cooking spray and one by one toast 4 shells.

Reduce heat to medium low. Add salsa, water, and seasoning. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

On each shell, add sour cream (optional)

One-fourth of the meat mixture,

One-fourth of the cheese plus a tablespoon taco blend cheese.

Wrap up and serve!

We had Spanish rice w/ours 🙂

Chocolate Banana Stuffed French Toast

August 10, 2012 by Larisha Campbell Leave a Comment

When I was loosing weight (obviously, not now, I’m steadily gaining as I’m almost at 7 months prego), I learned one very, very important lesson.  Occasionally, you must allow yourself to have a “cheat” day.  No, I’m not saying that on this day, you should go out an eat an entire large pizza by yourself, however, indulging in something you’ve been craving is important for weight loss too. As for this recipe, as soon as I saw the link for it here from Pinterest, I wanted it instantly.
Mix all ingredients for the batter in a medium sized bowl.

Mix until well combined. Refrigerate until ready.

Cut a loaf of french bread 2 inches thick (you will need 8 pieces).

In a separate bowl, mix all filling ingredients together until well combined…

But not completely smooth.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Heat a large skillet on medium and spray generously with cooking spray.
Dip each piece into the batter on both sides and place in pan.

Cook until golden brown on both sides.  Remove and place in baking dish you are going put into the oven. 4 pieces will be for the bottom and 4 pieces for the top.

Divide the filling equally onto 4 of the pieces of bread.

Top with the remaining 4 pieces of bread. Place in preheated oven for 8 minutes.

Remove and serve with syrup.

Crusted Tilapia w/Parmesan Pasta & Broccoli

August 8, 2012 by Larisha Campbell Leave a Comment

Even before my pregnancy we tried to eat fish at least 2 times a week.  It’s so healthy for you and it cooked right can be amazing.  I’m hoping one day I can branch out and get really fancy, but for now we stick we tilapia or salmon.  Since being pregnant, I definitely try to get my weekly goal of fish twice a week because I know how beneficial the nutrients in fish are for the baby.  However, I know a lot of people are completely turned off just by the thought of fish, let alone trying to cook it.  I’m here to tell you that even the most novice cook can make some great fish, it’s pretty simple and honestly cooks very quickly so dinner doesn’t even take that long. This crusted tilapia recipe is to die for and when paired with our parmesan pasta and broccoli you have the perfect meal.
Check out this Pan Seared Salmon recipe for even more fish inspiration.
**Note: The following recipe is a recipe for 2, so if you are making this for a family or having another couple over, please double the recipe.
 
Bring a medium sized pot of water to a boil.  Then season fillets lightly with salt and pepper.

Drizzle with lemon, then add Parmesan mixture to top. Place in preheated 450 degree oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

In boiling water, add pasta and cook for 5 minutes.  After 5 minutes add broccoli and cook for another 5 minutes or until broccoli is tender and pasta is fully cooked. Drain.

While draining pasta/broccoli, in a separate pan, heat oil.  Then add garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for one minute.

Return pasta/broccoli bake to pan, drizzle oil mixture over top.

Add Parmesan cheese and stir.

Remove from heat.  Remove tilipia and serve.

This crusted tilapia was so amazing.

Healthy Lasagna

August 7, 2012 by Larisha Campbell 1 Comment

Birthdays are always a very special time and I love being able to do even the smallest of things to make my loved ones smile.  Whether that’s making homemade birthday cake or making their favorite meal, it’s important to let them know it’s their day. Yesterday was Andrew’s birthday.  He did have to work, but I was able to meet him for lunch which was great, but later I was even more excited to be able to make him his favorite dinner, Lasagna…and of course I made him a chocolate cake! I decided to try to make a healthy lasagna.
You may be interested in our Slow Cooker Lasagna Recipe here.

Mix together egg, ricotta cheese, and 1/2 teaspoon basil until combined. Place in fridge until ready to use.

Brown ground chicken until cooked throughout.

Combine sauce, cayenne pepper and 1 teaspoon basil. Heat to boil then remove from heat.

Start layers in greased pan…
Sauce on bottom,

3 noodles

More sauce,

Half of ricotta mixture,

Mozzarella cheese (then repeat, 3 noodles,1 1/2 cups sauce mixture, remaining ricotta mixture, 3 noodles, remaining sauce, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, then Parmesan cheese)

Then result already looks yummy.  Cover with sprayed foil and bake 45 minutes at 350 degrees.  Remove foil and cook until bubbly (about 10-15 more minutes).

Remove and let stand for 10-15 minutes before serving.

It was so yummy!!

Lemon-y Turkey Burgers PLUS Mrs. Dash Review

August 4, 2012 by Larisha Campbell Leave a Comment

When Andrew was first diagnosed with high blood pressure, we knew we were going to have to change our diets.  I thought this meant we were going to have to give up flavor.  I was super wrong.
Mrs. Dash products were created in the 1980s from mom Carol Bernick, who was simply looking for a convenient way to flavor her family meals without using salt and was frustrated with the products available to her. I had tried Mrs. Dash seasonings in the past, but wasn’t aware the they had so many new varieties available. They currently have 14 seasonings in their product line and there’s certainly one that can fit any meal you are planning on cooking..

photo credit: mrs. dash

We currently have 6 of the varieties in our home and love every single one.  We haven’t tried one that we don’t like yet. I highly recommend them for anything from rubs to flavoring veggies, even seafood.  Basically, anything you would normally season, Mrs. Dash gives you ability to do that.  The other great thing, is that because each one is a variety of different seasoning in one bottle, it allows you to need less regular seasonings, which saves you both space and money.
The other great thing is that Mrs. Dash even has recipes on their site, so if you aren’t sure how to use one of them, or just need a quick idea for dinner, you can go right there.
I’ve made lots of turkey burgers in the past, but I was looking for something different.  Andrew gets bored with the same meals or some flavored meals, so it’s essential that I switch things up every one in awhile.  I checked the Mrs. Dash website and found this recipe.  I tweeked it a bit, but it was amazing.
Add all the ingredients to a bowl until well combined.
**I love adding a small amount of cheese to the mixture instead of eggs/breadcrumbs.

Shape into 4 patties.
**Burger tip–Do not overwork your meat.  Shape into a ball, flatten and leave alone.  By continuing to form and flatten, you take away the moisture, leaving you with dry burgers.

Whether cooking on the grill or stove, spray both sides of each patty lightly with cooking spray so they won’t stick.  I used our George Foreman to cook and they were done in about 5 minutes.  If using the stove or regular grill, cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, turning only once after the first side has browned.  The internal temperature for turkey burgers should be 165 degrees in the center of the burger.

Ingredients: 
1 lb ground turkey
1 tbsp Mrs Dash Lemon Pepper Seasoning Blend
1 tbsp Mrs Dash Garlic & Herb Seasoning Blend
1/4 cup Colby Shredded Cheese
Cooking spray
Favorite burgers toppings (onions, cheese, tomatoes and lettuce is what we prefer)

Directions: 
Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and mix until well combined.  Shape into 4 patties. Spray each side of the patty with cooking spray. Grill on medium high heat on each side 5-6 minutes, turning once after first side has browned.  Internal temperature should be 165 degrees in the center of the burger. Serve on buns with your favorite toppings.

Have your tried Mrs. Dash products before?  
What is your favorite one?

POPable Ham and Cheese Sliders

July 31, 2012 by Larisha Campbell Leave a Comment

After my sister and I decided on our baby shower theme, we had to figure out what type of food we were going to serve.  We had seen a few POPable sandwich recipes on Pinterest, however, they typically called for poppyseeds and we couldn’t find them in the store, so we decided on just POPable ham and cheese sliders after coming across this recipe.  We made them a few different ways and finally found something that worked for us and they were a huge hit at the baby shower.  What made me even happier, was that once Andrew and I got home, he asked for them again.  I love simple dinners, so being able to add this to the rotation is a huge success.
Gather all of your ingredients. (I have to say—while you can use any type of ham for this recipe, I have enjoyed black forest ham the best).
Combine melted butter, spicy brown mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced onion in a bowl until well combined.  It’s important to make sure all the butter is completely melted and you want a thin sauce, not something that is thicker.

I prefer to have an assembly line type system for this as I feel it’s easier to do it this way…(maybe that’s just my OCD-ness–who knows).

I sliced the cheese into fourths and fold all my ham.  I use thinly sliced ham, folded in 4ths to make little triangles.

Set the bottoms of all the sandwiches in a 13×9 baking dish.

Put a slice of cheese on each one.

Next, place 2 triangles on top.

Place another slice on cheese on top

Followed by the tops of the sandwiches.

Spoon mixture evenly across each sandwhich. Cover and refrigerate sandwiches overnight.
**If you can’t wait to refrigerate it’s okay to bake them right away, but I have to admit, I’ve tried this numerous ways and refrigerating 6-8 hours is best.**

Remove cover, preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake sandwiches for 15-20 minutes until tops are somewhat crunchy.
*Do not overcook or the tops will burn
