Recipe Refresh
Newly Updated Recipes
Even amazing recipes need a makeover. And even though I sometimes think of my recipes like my children (there isn’t a favorite), it doesn’t mean they don’t need to be tweaked, updated, or modernized sometimes.
Every month I publish several brand new recipes. But after 7 years, I also freshen up a few classics to make them better for my readers and home cooks.
Most of the time the actual recipe (instructions and ingredients) stay the same - but I may have found something new to share that will help make bring success to my readers. So when I hit SAVE you may find new ingredient substitutions, similar recipe ideas, alternate cooking methods, or ways to make it meet your dietary needs.
I will be the first to say, my blogging journey was uphill for quite some time. I have learned a lot over the years including the types of recipes my readers like, how many are beginners and really need basic easy steps, and articles about food without a recipe are also fun.
And you may be one of the many “just show me the recipe” readers and that is ok, (just hit the jump to recipe button at the top of any of my posts). But over time I stayed true to myself and include some stories & personal information but I also make sure that the recipe is the star in most posts.
Ok- ok - now onto the Updated Recipes List. Without further adieu…
BANANA ICE CREAM
We all need more fresh fruit in our diets but no one said it couldn’t be in ice cream form?!?! I first published this 3 years ago but it has been a staple in our household for well over a decade. Find out what makes this Homemade Banana Ice Cream so good today.
GRILLED BONELESS SKINLESS CHICKEN THIGHS
About 15 minutes is all you need to get this dinner done. I love making 2-3 pounds at a time to enjoy for days. Leftover Grilled Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs are great in salads, sandwiches/wraps, added to pasta, in a rice bowl, or diced on anything including baked potatoes or nachos.
SLOW COOKER HUNGARIAN GOULASH
This is a stew - not the American version with macaroni. 100% authentic Hungarian comfort food made easy in the CrockPot. Slow Cooker Hungarian Goulash is a complete meal in a bowl, just add spoon.
HOT HONEY LEMON PEPPER WINGS
“SWICY” is the word of the year so far when it comes to food. Sweet & Spicy is pretty amazing just like these wings. Make a batch of Hot Honey Lemon Pepper Wings for dinner or while watching the NBA or NHL playoffs.
WHIPPED SWEET POTATOES
The side dish that gets be through every fall & winter. Next time skip the regular mashed potatoes and get these on the plate. This simple 5 ingredient recipe for Whipped Sweet Potatoes gets a flavor upgrade with my secret ingredient.
SLOW COOKER CUBAN PICADILLO
Ground meats may be more expensive today than it was last year but it is still a cheaper way to get enjoy some beef. This flavorful Slow Cooker Cuban Picadillo is a budget-friendly meal that tastes restaurant-quality. Serve with rice & fall in love.
