An Odd but Delicious Friday Night Dinner

An Odd but Delicious Friday Night Dinner I was out and about yesterday afternoon, so I thought I would go ahead and get some ideas for our Friday night dinner. I messaged Shawn to see if he wanted anything in particular. His response was he wasn’t all that hungry. Fast forward five minutes later and he threw out the suggestion of KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) bowls, but still said he wasn’t really hungry. Well, that was helpful! Hahaha! I generally make a copycat version of the KFC bowls instead of…

Turkey Egg & Cheese Muffins

13,August, 2018 Shannon

I love breakfast recipes that are quick and easy, yet hearty, and I think this recipe satisfies both of those. This is a simple, relatively healthy, and pretty dang tasty recipe for turkey, egg, and cheese muffins. It can also be customized to your liking which is an added bonus. Who doesn’t love an added bonus? 😉 I think these would make a great boat passage meal too! Ingredients 6 eggs ¼ cup milk 2 – 3 slices of sliced turkey or ham, diced 1 cup chopped baby spinach…

Quick & Easy Chicken Nachos

Taco Tuesday We enjoy going to the Taco Tuesday gathering at Prohibition Drinks & Desserts here in New Bern every week. It’s an evening full of delicious tacos, comradery among fellow boaters, lots of smiles and laughter, and maybe even a salty story or two. My kind of Tuesday night for sure! Well, since we aren’t going this week (enter pouty faces here), I thought I would share a quick and easy Chicken Nachos recipe instead. Wait a minute, scratch that! We decided to go to Taco Tuesday tonight after all. Yay!! …

A Whole Chicken & A Pressure Cooker So, I ran across a sale on whole chickens a couple of weeks ago, and thought hmmmm I bet I can cook this in the pressure cooker. Of course I researched several recipes, and came up with my own version of Pressure Cooker Chicken. Wow, did it turn out great! So tender and moist. It will fall off the bone, and melt in your mouth! Definitely another pressure cooker recipe I will be adding to the list of favorites. Served it with green…

Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies

What is Butterscotch? I’ve never really pondered that question until now, but what exactly is Butterscotch? I’ve never made butterscotch, so I couldn’t tell you how to make it. I mean, does it actually have scotch in it? I decided to find out the answer to that question. According to my research, butterscotch is actually made by heating brown sugar, and butter. However, some recipes also call for the addition of vanilla, heavy cream, or eggs. So, I understand where the word butter comes from in butterscotch, but what about…

15 Dozen Cookies in the Galley

01,January, 2018 Shannon

15 Dozen Cookies in the Galley So I thought it would be a great idea this holiday season to bake cookies to give to family and friends. The only problem was I couldn’t pin down one flavor to bake, so I decided to make not one or two flavors, but five. Little did I realize just how many cookies that would be. So let’s see, that’s 5 different batches of cookies, 3 dozen cookies in each batch, which equals 15 batches, for a grand total of 180 cookies baked right…
