Fresh Chicken and Veggie Pizza /#FarmersMarketWeek

Tweet

Welcome to #FarmersMarketWeek! This week I will be sharing 3 recipes that can be made with vegetables and fruits from your local farmers market. There are a lot of possibilities when buying at the Farmers Market, and it was difficult to decide what recipes to share this week. But I narrowed down the possibilities to recipes I think you will love! Todays recipe is a Fresh Chicken & Veggie Pizza! It is full of flavor and tastes amazing!

Building this pizza was fun! I picked all our favorites that we like on our homemade pizzas. This one is topped with store bought pizza sauce, grilled chicken breasts, onion slices, grilled corn, and fresh avocado. I piled it all on a pizza crust that is long and thin, with a light, chewy crust. The flavor and texture is a winner! 

After putting the pizza together, I grilled the pizza instead of using the oven. It gave the pizza an amazing taste that was a bit different, and very tasty! Give it a try!

Fresh Chicken and Veggie Pizza

1 Long Pizza Crust (Trader Joes)

1 jar favorite Pizza Sauce

1  slice of Onion

1 raw 8 oz. Chicken Breast

Black Pepper

Garlic Powder

1 Corn on the cob

Fresh Avocado

Slice the onion into a few slices, then place the onion into a foil square, and top it with a pat of butter. Sprinkle pepper over the onion. Close the foil around the onion slices.

Wrap the corn in foil, after sprinkling it with pepper. Add a butter pat to the packet, then close the foil.

Sprinkle the chicken breast with black pepper and garlic powder. 

Place the chicken and corn on the grill and cook until done.

After the chicken is done and removed from the grill, unwrap the corn and place it on the grill to get brown. If additional butter is needed, cut a pat of butter and roll the butter over the corn as it sits on the grill. Turn as needed until it is as brown as you want it to be.

Remove the corn from the grill, and cut it from the cob.

Place a piece of foil on a cookie sheet. Place the pizza crust on the foil and start covering the crust with the pizza sauce.

Add the cheese to the pizza.

Top the pizza with shredded chicken, corn and onion pieces. The baking sheet is only used to carry the pizza to the grill. Anything sturdy can be used.

Set the grill to high heat. It takes approx. 12 minutes on the grill.

When the pizza is done, return it to the baking sheet. Chop half of the avocado into small bites and place them on the top of the pizza.

Enjoy your pizza!

Grilled Peaches and Shrimp Shish Kabobs / #SundaySupper

Tweet

These Grilled Peaches and Shrimp Shish Kabobs are the perfect summer #SundaySupper! Fresh grilled peaches are the star of the show, but everything is fresh including the grilled shrimp and the lime drizzle to round it out. With everything but the rice cooked on the grill, make the rice in the microwave and your kitchen stays cool and comfortable. This meal grills up easily and quick. You're gonna love it!

Grilled Peaches and Shrimp Shish Kabobs

(printable recipe)
 Makes 8 skewers

2 cups of Jasmine Rice
Teriyaki Sauce
16 Raw Shrimp
4 Fresh Peaches
1 Fresh Lime




 Cook Jasmine rice.

Rinse shrimp. Devein the top and the underside of the shrimp. Many people don't worry about cleaning the underside of the shrimp, but I like to clean both sides. I am very picky about it, and even if the shrimp comes cleaned on the top side, I clean it again if needed. You don't need a special tool to clean the shrimp. I use a paring knife and it works great.

Cut peaches in half, take out the pit, and cut each half into quarters. Leave the skin on, which makes it much easier to grill. 

Put kabobs together. I used 2 peach quarters and 2 shrimp on each skewer. Also, leave a little space between the shrimp and the peaches as you build your kabobs. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the raw shrimp.

Place skewers on the grill. Set the peaches so one edge is on the grates of the grill. Make sure the shrimp are flat and directly on the grill also. Grill for 3 minutes. Move the shish kabobs so that the other side of the quartered peach is now on the grill. Flip the shrimp over. Grill for 3 more minutes. If more time is needed, continue flipping, but for only a minute of two at a time. 

Add some teriyaki sauce to the rice, and place the peach and shrimp kabobs on top of the rice.

Enjoy!

Sausage & Apple Cornbread Bundt Cake w/ a White Gravy Drizzle / #BundtBakers

Tweet

This Sausage and Apple Cornbread Bundt Cake w/ a White Gravy Drizzle is definitely a change from the bundt cakes I usually make, but it is a welcome change! This savory bundt cake is bursting with tasty flavors and would be perfect for lunch, dinner, or even a brunch! I made a favorite cornbread recipe, but before I baked it I added chopped Chicken and Apple Sausage, grilled corn, and onion. Once it was out of the oven, I topped it with a White Gravy drizzle, and sprinkled it with black pepper. Very easy and yummy!

Grilled London Broil Steak Tacos / #SundaySupper

Tweet

Today I have some Grilled London Broil Steak Tacos on the menu! We are celebrating the grilling season this week on Sunday Supper by Throwing something on the Barbie! When it comes to grilling, everyone has an opinion! It is an entire culture all on its own! You can have a favorite way to grill: gas or wood. How about a favorite method: direct, indirect, smoking and rotisserie. To make it even more interesting, each of those categories have categories!

These Grilled London Broil Steak Tacos come together quickly, but you will want to tenderize the London Broil the day before you want to serve these yummy tacos to get optimum flavor! The steak and the peppers cook at the same time, and as the steak comes off to rest, the tortillas go on, and the peppers and tortillas come off together. Get ready for a great meal! 

 

 Grilled London Broil Steak Tacos

(printable recipe)

London Broil Steak

Italian Dressing (not creamy)

A1 Sauce 

Garlic Powder

Red, yellow, and Orange Peppers, thinly sliced

Vidalia Onion, thinly sliced

Flour Tacos

Lettuce

Ranchero Queso Fresco

Sour Cream 

Salsa 

Tenderize the steak by sprinkling garlic powder on top, and pouring A-1 and Italian dressing on top of the garlic powder.

Use 2 forks and push them in and out of the steak, moving all over the steak. Then flip it over and do it again. When you begin, the fork will be slightly resistant to piercing the steak, but as you continue, it will become easier and easier. Cover the steak and refrigerate it overnight.

Sprinkle chipotle seasoning on the steak and place on the grill on medium heat.

Sear the meat one way, for two minutes, then lift and score it in the other direction for two minutes.

Flip the steak over and do it again. 

Place the veggies in a packet of foil and place on the grill. Close foil for quicker cooking. I put these on the grill as the steak was 4 minutes away from being done. The peppers will be cooked, but still have a crunch. If you like them softer, put them on the grill earlier.

 

Take off the steak and let it rest for a few minutes. Place tortillas on the grill. They start to bubble up quickly. Remove when they do.

 Thinly slice the london broil.

 Build the taco by adding lettuce, cheese, steak, peppers and onions, sour cream and salsa.

Enjoy your tacos!

How to Cook Your Favorite Restaurant Meal at Home~A New Series

Tweet

I have an exciting new series starting today, "How to Cook Your Favorite Restaurant Meals at Home"! In this monthly series, I will be using a meal from the menu of a different restaurant each month. I will show you how I cooked it, and how much I spent, comparing it to the price on the menu.
As much as I enjoy dining out, I don't always feel that the price I pay is justified. And when I feel like that, it takes all the fun out of it! Throughout my restaurant career, I worked in several restaurants, and owned a couple, so I am more than familiar with the daily stresses and expenses of making it run. It is very expensive! But as a consumer, my money only goes so far, making it important to carefully choose how I spend.
The menu item I chose is from Outback Steakhouse. I made the Outback Sirloin, 12 ounce cut, with a side of Fresh Steamed Broccoli, and a Hot Baked Potato. The cost of this meal at Outback is $18.99.


$18.99 meal
    3.49 soda
    1.81 8% tax
    4.00 tip
$ 28.29  Total per meal cost


I bought a 2.5 pound Certified Angus Beef from the grocery. It was on sale for $4.99 a pound. It gave me 40 ounces of meat. That's a little more than I needed for 3-12ounce steaks, so I had a little extra and some gets lost in the cooking. I also bought 3 potatoes, and broccoli.


$3.73  Beef
    .43  1/4# broccoli
    .25  potatoes
    .25  soda
  4.66  Total per meal cost



Of course, I know that there are advantages to eating out. You don't have to clean up and do dishes, you get to get away, enjoy yourself, and have someone wait on you. You also get certain things extra. At Outback, it's that special, yummy bread they serve you. The purpose of this new series is not to talk you out of eating out, but to show you how you can eat at home like you can eat out, but for a lot less!
