Ancho Chile BBQ Sauce

July 14, 2014 By ericaeckman

Ancho Chile BBQ Sauce

Gracze kasyn online lubią gotować. Dzieje się tak, ponieważ gotowanie to sposób na relaks i odstresowanie po długim dniu grania w gry kasynowe. Gotowanie to także sposób na pokazanie swoich umiejętności i kreatywności. Niektórzy gracze kasyn online https://pl.bestcasinos-pl.com/ lubią gotować tak bardzo, że założyli nawet własne kanały kulinarne na YouTube. Kanały te zawierają przepisy kulinarne, porady kulinarne, a czasem nawet transmisje na żywo, na których gracz gotuje swoje ulubione potrawy. ... [ Read More ]

Kale & Butternut Squash Detox Salad

July 7, 2014 By ericaeckman

Kale, butternut squash salad

I don't know about you guys, but I had a long and deliciously decadent weekend! I ate fairly healthy on the 4th of July, but there is something about a holiday weekend that makes me feel like a few extra calories are okay. Now, it's a new week and I'm ready to start it off right with my Kale and Butternut Squash Detox Salad. Honestly, it's hard to believe this salad is packed with lots of healthy ingredients, because it tastes incredible! It's got kale and butternut squash (obviously) as well ... [ Read More ]

QUICK Oven Roasted Tomato Sauce

June 26, 2014 By ericaeckman

oven roasted tomato sauce

I don't know about you, but I have a complete complex about using jarred tomato sauce. Not only does the sauce go bad really quickly after opening it, but unless you buy one that's pretty much flavorless and pure, it can be filled with tons of disgusting additives and GMOS. That's why I came up with my own recipe that you can prep in the same time it takes you to open a jar (plus some cooking time). I guarantee this sweet and spicy roasted tomato sauce will convince you to leave the jarred ... [ Read More ]

Rustic Potato & Goat Cheese Tart

June 23, 2014 By ericaeckman

Potato, Tomato, Onion and Goat Cheese Tart

Since starting this blog, I've been volunteered to cook for one too many dinner parties and get togethers! Normally, I don't mind the cooking (I actually love it), but feeding lots of mouths can get really expensive. Over the course of the last year, I've found that one of my favorite challenges is making unbelievably decadent dishes on a budget. Recently, I made this totally over the top potato, onion, tomato & goat cheese tart. The recipe is inspired by Yotam Ottolenghi's, Surprise Tatin, ... [ Read More ]

Buffalo Chicken Lasagna

June 16, 2014 By ericaeckman

Buffalo Chicken Lasagana

Yes. You read the title correct. Today, I am going to share with you an incredible buffalo chicken lasagna recipe. For the first time in my entire life, I am actually totally and utterly proud of myself. This recipe literally came to me in a day dream when my boyfriend asked me to think of something fun and new for dinner. I would go into the dream, but then you might think I'm a little strange... so let's just pretend I'm a complete genius, okay? The recipe starts with a delicious buffalo ... [ Read More ]

Homemade Buttermilk Ranch

June 5, 2014 By ericaeckman

Homemade Buttermilk Ranch

I have a total obsession with ranch dressing. Believe it or not, this dressing is actually a pretty healthy option if you're going for a low carb diet. The problem? Most bottled ranch dressings have added sugars and GMOs making this not as healthy as you might think. I'm really making a conscious effort to understand what goes into my body when I'm cooking at home. I feel like when I eat out, I really can't control the ingredients that the restaurants use, but at home, I can control ... [ Read More ]

Quinoa Fruit Salad

June 3, 2014 By ericaeckman

Quinoa Fruit Salad

The other night I had some girlfriends over and I wanted to whip up something quick, healthy and delicious for them! The problem was, I was really busy all day and didn't have time to go to the grocery store. What started as a stressful situation, turned into a blessing in disguise! Not only did I end up creating an amazing quinoa dish that was loaded with yummy fruit, but it was a great way for me use up the stuff I already had in my pantry. To make this dish, I literally just opened up my ... [ Read More ]

Pineapple Fried Rice

May 20, 2014 By ericaeckman

Pineapple Fried Rice

One of my favorite takeout dishes is pineapple fried rice! Ordering it in can get pretty expensive (not to mention they use so much oil and MSG) so I wanted to try to make my own version at home. It turned out to be easier than I thought! The coolest part? Aside from the pineapple, I already had all the other ingredients in my cabinet/refrigerator since they are all pantry staples. Pineapple Fried Rice Enjoy this healthier version of pineapple fried rice without breaking the bank or ... [ Read More ]

Spicy Orange Chinese Chicken

May 16, 2014 By ericaeckman

Orange Chicken

If you've been following along over the last 8 months or so, you know I am a complete "Make Your Own Takeout" advocate. For your sanity, it's so important to indulge and eat junky Chinese food, but in reality, it's one of the worst things you can put in your body. Most of the time whenever you order traditional takeout, it's loaded with an excessive amount of sugar, carbs, msg and hydrogenated oils. To put it into perspective, look at the nutritional statistics of P.F. Chang's Orange Peel ... [ Read More ]

Foolproof Tres Leches Cake

May 15, 2014 By ericaeckman

foolproof tres leches

I am self admittedly not a very good baker. I don't claim to be, nor do I  pretend to be. However, yesterday, I totally disguised myself as one! Let me start from the beginning. My new friend, Jessica,  invited me over for a Full Moon, Mexican Themed, Pot Luck Dinner Party (it was an incredible combo). I really wanted to impress her and her friends and I felt like I had a lot on the line.  Jessica is the founder of one of the most successful blogs in the city, Cheeky Chicago, and her friends ...
