Another Easy Weeknight Meal. I’m amazed at how much this costs in restaurants, it’s literally less that $20 to cook a whole batch at home!! And takes less than 20 mins to cook! Sooo easy!!
Here’s how I make it!
1-2 Tbsp Butter
1 Tbsp Oil
1 medium Shallot chopped fine
3-4 cloves garlic minced
1/4-1/2 cup white wine
1 tsp Crazy salt
1 tsp Old Bay
12 oz Fresh cleaned shrimp
Dry you shrimp with a towel sprinkle with Old Bay Seasoning.
In a pan on medium heat melt butter and add oil (this combination will keep it from burning the shallots and garlic)
Add in shallots and garlic, when they brown lightly and you start to smell the aroma, deglaze the pan with your wine, cook it down some. Add in Crazy Salt.
Add the dried shrimp to pan, and when just pink flip over until pink on the other side. Mix your shrimp and cooked pasta of your choice.
That it, super easy and sooo good!!
Sprinkle with some fresh grated Parmesan and parsley.

A quick weeknight meal, some say nachos are not a meal, but they are wrong lol
Guess What y’all I was recognized for my cooking videos today!! And it really humbled me, I don’t have to be perfect, I’m loved for just who I am, and people are enjoying the videos!
Taco meat
I use meatloaf meat, but you can use 85 % ground beef
2 Tbsp of taco mix, or a packet
Brown your meat and add in the taco seasoning. You don’t need water for mine, but if using a packet follow those instructions.
Set aside
Chop up your tomatoes, I use romas, because it’s easy to get seeds out. Just slice them in fours and take a knife and slice out the insides. Set aside to dry, and plant next year.
Slice your avocado
Easy cheese sauce
1 1/2 Tbsp salted butter
4 oz cream cheese
1 Tbsp Smoked Paprika, more if you want color darker and more pep
1/2 tsp Crazy Salt
1 cup Heavy whipping cream
1 block cheddar, shredded
I use Cabot’s Vermont cheddar
In a pan on medium melt the butter, and cream cheese until sort of clumpy.
Add your smoked paprika, and crazy salt, mix well.
Pour in your heavy whipping cream.
Turn up the heat to medium high
Put in about 1/2-1 cup of shredded cheese at a time, and mix swiftly until creamy and smooth. Continue to do this with all the cheese.
You are done when your spoon is coated on the back of spoon, taste the sauce if need more salt or spice add it.
And now you just layer some Doritos, or if you prefer corn chips, and add meat, and tomatoes, avocado, and then pour cheese sauce over. Add sour cream and chives.

Breakfast, with the perfect sweet and salty mix! Yummm
Snack Bacon
1 pkg bacon
1/2 -3/4 cup brown sugar
Freshly grinder pepper
Cover cooking sheet with parchment.
In a shallow dish add brown sugar and pepper, then coat both sides of each piece of bacon. Space out on the pan, so they don’t stick together.
Set oven to 400° and put in for 15-20 mins. Pull out and let cool.
Eggs
2 eggs
1 tsp of milk
1 tsp chives
Whisk eggs and milk together
Add in chives.
On medium heat high cook eggs, lay a tortilla down over them, this makes either 2 smaller ones or one big one. Lightly turn the tortilla, if it turns easy it’s probably ready to flip. If not leave a bit longer.
After flipped add your cheese, I used cheddar but I think they use American.
Then add in your bacon, flip the tortilla in over on itself and take out and eat!

1 lb thinly sliced beef, chopped
1 small onion
4 cloves garlic minced
2 cups beef bouillon
About 4 hours before you want dinner. Get a large skillet on med-high melt a pad of butter add onions and garlic and sauté for a few minutes. Add in the meat, and lightly brown, pour in the beef bouillon and cook until it lightly boils. Turn it down to simmer. Simmer up to 4 hours until meat is tender.
Pull out the meat and set aside.
Use a wire sieve and filter out the sauce. That’s your Au jus.
Set oven to 375°
Get some French Bread, I used Bolillo bread, toast until lightly browned.
Add 2 slices of Provolone cheese on each side of bread, add on some meat and cover with more cheese. Broil until melted, this happens pretty fast so keep watching.
And that’s it 😁

This was my first Lumpia!! It was delicious, but there was so much of it!!
1- 16 oz ground pork (I used Swift)
5-6 baby carrots minced
1-celery ribs minced
1/2 vidailia onion minced
6-7 garlic cloves minced
1 large egg
1 tsp sugar
1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
1 Tbsp Sesame oil
1 Tbsp Ginger Dressing
1 tsp Crazy Salt
1-2 Tbsp Cornstarch
Lumpia wrappers (Spring Roll wrappers, bought at Asian Market) pull out of freezer about 30-min to an hour before.

In a large bowl use your hands with gloves to mix together the pork, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, ginger dressing, crazy salt and cornstarch. Take a teaspoon of the mixture and cook in the microwave about 30 secs. Taste it and see if it needs anything. Add that and do the same until flavors are right. You can skip this, but you may risk a whole batch being bad, instead of just a few tries to get it right. Up to you.
Lay your thin wrap down there are two ways I’ll explain to you to roll them. There are probably other ways too, but these are the two that I have seen done.
Slanted: this probably is not the proper name, but you will take your wrap and slant the square so that there is a corner on bottom. Then you will add about a tablespoon of the mixture, roll it over once than fold in the edges then roll until you get a small corner that looks like and envelope corner and dab a little egg to seal.
Regular: Lay the wrap like a box, add a tablespoon of the mixture, than fold up, then fold over the sides and roll, at the end add a little egg to seal.
Try each one see which one you prefer.
After rolling make sure to lay they out flat, not on top of each other or they will stick and break open.
Grab a large cooking sheet with a rack and have ready.
Heat up about 2 inches of oil in a saucepan. Heat oil to 325° to 330° . Use a spider spoon, and layer two at time in the spoon and drop, do this twice so 4 are in the pan, turning over slightly so that each side is browned. Pull them out when golden browned, and lay single file on the rack over the cooking sheet. Keep going until done. You can freeze these before cooking as well in a ziplock bag for a later night.
It’s so fun making you forget that there is only 3 of us🤦‍♀️
I’m not sure how many it made but a lot. Anyone local, is free to stop by we have plenty left, and they would not taste that good tomorrow. Maybe air-fried?

Most of the time I use spring mix, instead of rice, but I’m trying to avoid any unnecessary bathroom visits, so I just grabbed bag jasmine, yes bagged, sometimes I’m lazy lol. Salmon may be a little pricey, but this makes two meals for me. It takes less than 30 mins to complete and it tastes soo good!
1 small piece of Salmon $9.59( I use fresh Atlantic) take the skin off of salmon easily by pouring boiling water over the skin, use a knife to lift up the corner and proceed with the satisfying lifting of skin. Then dry of cut up and season.
I season with sesame oil, crazy salt, another seasoning blend, and smoked paprika. Season with whatever you desire. Make sure to coat every piece. Put in oven at 425° for 8 mins, or until desired crispy edges. Let cool.
Chop up carrots, slice avocado and drain and rinse garbanzo beans. I prefer to use edamame, but I didn’t have any. You can really use any other veggies you want. I just like these.
Then just place it in your bowl and pretend you are at one of those fancy restaurants. That’s what I do anyways, 😁 Add some green onions, these are from my garden and pour some ginger dressing on it. I will sometimes make some yum yum sauce but I was too lazy today 🤪
Sooo good!!

Homemade blanket dumplings!
Easy meal, done in less than 20 mins! I used a food processor to mince everything. Drain any extra liquid.

2- 16 oz pkg ground pork
1 bulb( not clove) of garlic minced
1 large carrots minced
1 medium vidailia onion minced
2 stalks of celery minced
1 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp Sesame oil
2 Tbsp Cornstarch
1 -16 oz Gyoza Skin (got at Asian market)

In a large bowl mix together with gloved hands all ingredients except gyoza skin. Turn on a burner medium-high, spray the pan lightly, then scoop a smaller tablespoon amount of pork mixture and lay it in the pan. Keep plopping those amounts it the pan, starting in a circle than fill in the middle. After about 2-3 mins Lay a gyoza skin on top of each meat blob, crimp around them with your fingers. Add 1/4 cup of beef broth into the pan, cover and then let steam for 7-8 mins, do not lift the top until at least 7 mins.

Dumpling sauce
2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp Rice Vinegar
1-2 tsp sugar

A creamy savory “pie”, with cheddar cheese and a bunch of broccoli florets!
All under $25 and 30 mins!
2 ok frozen pie crust $2.79
7 lg eggs $5
3/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream $3.29
1/4 cup Milk $2.79
Cabot Sharp Vermont Cheddar $3.49
10.8 oz Steamfresh Broccoli $2.00
1/2 tsp Crazy Salt
1 Tbsp Chives
Try to cook broccoli in the morning, just steam in microwave, if you put in hot, it will curdle your egg mixture, and that will not be fun. I cook and then put in fridge.
In a large bowl mix together eggs, cream, milk, crazy salt, and chives. Be careful not to overmix as you will have too much air, and it will have bubbles.
Take crusts out of bag snd place on a sheet pan, this will ensure if it goes over it won’t be a mess in oven to clean up. Sprinkle cheese to cover bottom of both pies. This will ensure no soggy crust. Add half the broccoli to both pies, and then pour egg mixture over. Sprinkle on the remaining cheese.
Bake at 375° for 25-35 mins. Do the jiggle test, if it wiggles in the middle a little it’s perfect, it will cook still while cooling. Let it cool 5-10 mins if you can wait. Then cut you a piece and Enjoy!
