Beef & Veggie Soup

     I love a good soup. They're usually super easy to make, and they make a lot.      This recipe from Taste of Home threw me for a curve ball though since you make it in a skillet, but overall it was injured and amazing. Ingredients       1 lb beef       1/2 cup of onions       1 15 ounce can tomato sauce       1 1/2 cup of frozen mixed veggies thawed       1 1/4 cup of frozen corn thawed       1 1/4 cup of beef broth       1 tbs of soy sauce       1 tbs molasses Directions      In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat, until no more pink.      Drain      Stir in remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.      Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Changes I made!       My only big complaint with this is that I wasn't...

Crispy English Potatoes

Ingredients      2 1/2 lbs of gold potatoes      Kosher Salt and black pepper      3 ounces of pancetta, diced      2 tbs of good olive oil      1/2 cup of parsley, for garnish Directions      Preheat oven to 425 degrees.      Cut potatoes into one inch chunks and place them in a large saucepan, preferable with two handles.      Cover potatoes in water and add 1 tbs of salt.      Cover pan and bring the water to a bowl.      Uncover pan, and lower the heat, le...

Chicken Parmigiana

    I feel like this is a dish you see at most if not all Italian restaurants. Lightly crusted chicken with a great sauce.    But let me note this, I know I botched my version of this, and I still loved it! The spices and flavors are there, and even covered up some of my botched mistakes. This is differently dish I want to master and need to master, because I know once I do, I'll have one bomb dish to show off. Ingredients     1 can tomato sauce     2 tsp Italian seasoning     1/2 tsp garlic powder     1 egg     1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs     3 tbs of grated Parmesan cheese     2 boneless skinless chicken breasts     2 tbs olive oil     2 slices of mozzarella Directions     Sauce:     In a small pan, combine the sauce, Italian seasoning and garlic powder in a saucepan.     Bring to a boil, reduce heat and then let it simmer ...
