Spaghetti and Meatballs



So this was my first attempt at meatballs and I was VERY HAPPY with the outcome!  I just picked a simple recipe for my first go at it.  As usual, I didn't exactly follow it to a T, but they turned out excellent anyways.  This recipe also makes enough to freeze some for later which is always convenient for next time you want this dish. Meatballs Equal...

Roast Chicken and Vegetables with Mashed Potatoes



For some reason, roast chicken always seems to impress people. I must say, the bird does look pretty good when it comes out of the oven, but the best part is that you don't have to do much to make it look that way! I like to roast my chickens with some veggies in the bottom of the pan.  Nothing too crazy, just some carrots, celery, onion...

Lemon Pepper Cod with Swiss Chard and Rice



So for the most part I ma completely against any kind of prepared food.  So call me a hypocrite if you wish, but these lemon pepper cod fillets are SO TASTY.(http://janesfamilyfoods.com/micro-seafood/product_lemon-pepper-cod.html) My only grievance with them is that they are a bit expensive ($10 for 6 fillets), but that is a problem with...

Breakfast Bagel

Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff



The slow cooker was one of the best inventions for the student.  Put stuff in, in the morning and come back to amazing smelling apartment and amazing tasting food. It baffles me why more students don't utilize slow cooker technology.  You barely have to do anything and a marvelous dinner appears at the end of the day.  What more could you ask of a machine?! But...

Orange Tarragon Chicken



This dish is another one that I have been making for a while now.  I'm pretty sure I went through a phase in high school when I cooked this like twice a week (sometimes for me, sometimes for my friends).  It is fairly straight forward and doesn't really have too many stead fast rules to it.  Of course you could add veggies to this dish, I was just too...

Guinness Beef Pie



Another rainy day, another time for comfort food.  I went and bought a whole beef roast and cut half of it into cubes for this pie.  You can buy pre cut stew beef at most grocery stores if you think that would be easier for you, I just saw a deal on a good cut of beef and decided to take advantage of it.  have never made beef pie before so this is...
