40 Recipe Challenge, Part 9: Chicken Enchiladas
Last night I decided to do some Mexican for Cinco de Mayo, and figured it would be a good opportunity to do a recipe I hadn’t had before. I pulled out my grandmother’s recipe for chicken enchiladas, which I’ll share with the rest of you. Because the process for making these was a little rushed,…

40 Recipe Challenge, Part 8: Cajun Chicken & Shrimp Pasta
This is my attempt to replicate the recipe by the same name that TGI Fridays offers. I made this without the red bell peppers, because I’m just not a fan of those things. Here’s what you’ll need: 1lb Fettuccine pasta 1lb chicken breasts or chicken breast tenderloins 1lb shrimp, cooked, with tails removed 1T butter…

40 Recipe Challenge, Part 7: Crock Pot Pulled Pork
After taking several weeks off, I decided it was time to get back into the 40 recipe challenge. This was the first thing I’d done since coming back from California, and it may actually spawn one or two other really good recipes in the next week or two. I had looked for crock pot pulled…

40 Recipe Challenge, Part 6: Blistered Zucchini au Gratin
This recipe is from the Two Dudes One Pan cookbook I’ve got. I decided to tack this on as a side to the herbed flank steak with tomatoes that I did the other night because it looked pretty straightforward and very easy. It is, essentially, zucchini drizzled with some olive oil and then put under…

40 Recipe Challenge, Part 5: Herbed Flank Steak with Tomatoes
I felt like grilling again last night, so I went over to my parents and offered to make them dinner. I returned to the grilling cookbook my friend had gotten me for Christmas, and decided to try out a recipe for flank steak (this recipe is also available online). I’m a big fan of flank…

40 Recipe Challenge, Part 4: Orange-Chipotle Chicken
Last night my parents asked me to cat-sit at their place, so I decided to take advantage of the fact that they have a grill and do a recipe from a grilling cookbook a friend gave me for Christmas. I was originally going to grill some chicken in a bourbon-molasses sauce, but this seemed a…

40 Recipe Challenge, Part 3: Classic Marinara
This is another one of the recipes I pulled from the Two Dudes One Pan cookbook. It’s used with the ricotta and pancetta-stuffed pork chops, but since I only used half of the sauce on the pork chops, I threw the other half in the freezer for a week or so with the intent of…

40 Recipe Challenge, Part 2: Ricotta and Pancetta-stuffed Pork Chops
Last weekend I took a crack at a recipe from Two Dudes, One Pan, a cookbook that I got a few years ago and never really took a close look at. I was flipping through it a few weeks ago and figured that this would be a good one to try. The recipe also calls…

40 Recipe Challenge, Part 1: Lasagna
I had mentioned previously that one of the things I want to do this year is try about 40 new recipes, either completely untested before, or revisits of family recipes that I haven’t ever done before. Last night I took a crack at lasagna, based on my grandmother’s recipe. Here goes: Grandma’s Lasagna 1 lb…
