Sunshine Kitchen

My husband and I needed to create something with some vacuum packed chicken we bought 2 years ago. He had a great idea to make chicken salad and use some green pepper instead of celery. It was so delish.

Ingredients:

1 Onion Bun (or roll) 1/2 Cup of Sprouts (any kind, ours was a mix) 1 Pack of Chicken (this would be good with real chicken too :) 1/3 of Green Pepper (diced) 1/2 Cup of Mayo

Seasonings: Fresh Cracked Pepper Shallot Salt (Garlic Salt would work too) Oregano 

Mix Chicken (rinsed), mayo and green pepper. Season to your taste. Put sprouts on onion bun, layer chicken salad and eat!

Wonderful to take to work. Make these in large ramekins and they are all set to go to work with you. 

Ingredients:

1 can cream of chicken   1 can cream of mushroom 2 can sweet corn 1 can peas/carrots 3 large chicken breasts (chunked to small bits and cooked) 1 box pie crust (2 piece)

Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.

Mix all in large bowl and evenly fill eight ramekins (that were sprayed with non-stick spray). Quarter up the pie crusts and place on top of ramekins.  Trim sides if wanted or just fold on top.

Cook till crust is golden.

I know this doesn't look that appetizing but it was amazing.

We took chicken breasts and sliced them in half, breaded them in panko with our own seasonings. The seasoning mainly included oregano, Hungarian sweet paprika, smoked cayenne, parsley and garlic. Then put it in the broiler to finish with some mozerella cheese.

For the sauce, we took a small can of tomato paste, can of diced tomatoes, basil, garlic and oregano and let is simmer for a hour. We then poured it over Butoni cheese/mushroom filled tortellini and fried onions.

The mashed potatoes had ranch and oregano to complete them and the brussel sprouts had light salt and pepper.

Normally I make lots of food for super bowl. This year since we were gone all weekend I only made apps and then ordered pizza. Apps were delish though.

Italian bread, pesto, swiss, salami or ham, red pepper and some oregano, italian seasoning and smoked cayenne pepper.

My wonderful Fiancé made dinner for me tonight. Ravioli with pesto, sauteed broccoli and sugar pees, and buttered shrimp. It was so good to taste different cooking for once. I feel as if I have a certain cooking style and everything seems to taste the same after a while. He said that the ingredients were "a little bit of this and a little bit of that."

Today is Sunday and since I slept in and didn't make breakfast for my Fiancé like planned, I thought, well this Sobie Sausage could not go to waste on a perfectly good Sunday.

So I decided to cook up some farm fresh eggs from Aqualia Farms in Bad Axe, MI and enjoy a superb Sunday.

I put sharp cheddar, parsley, oregano, garlic salt and pepper in the eggs.

Recipe to come, but here are some photos.

Lots of ingredients but I made it up from my pantry, so it wasn't to bad. My dad gave me some hoisin sauce and japanese wheat noodles and I wanted to make something with them.

Most of the ingredients were left over from other dinners I had made earlier in the week, so it is a combination of things, you could substitute whatever you wanted.

I used left over beef roast, sliced it into thin strips and marinated it in hoisin sauce and soy sauce. I personally think that hoisin is like an asian barbecue sauce and I love it. As the beef was marinating I started to saute the veggies which included; portabella mushrooms, red and green peppers and spanish onions. I sautéed them in soy sauce and a little bit of water. After they were tender I added the beef and continued to cook it for a little more while.

After the stir fry was to my liking I added 1/3 of a box of japanese wheat noodles, which were delicious. 

It was a really good meal.

Picked up some salmon at the local grocery and it was amazing. I marinated it in Italian dressing (like most of my fish and chicken), threw in some red and green peppers and spanish onions. 

I use spanish onions for a lot of my cooking. They sort of look like the sweet onions that grow wild on my parents farm or small green onions. I use both the round onion part and the green stem shoots.

I cook the fish for ten mins on both sides, between low and medium. 

We also had a baked potato with ranch and oregano.
