My family and I have returned from a much needed 3 week vacation to Mission Beach, San Diego, CA and Phoenix, AZ. Have you been? It was our first time at Mission Beach. It was fun! I am so grateful my husband, Jeff, was not deployed or TDY for Rayden’s first experience at the beach and playing in the ocean. My family is from Arizona so it was nice to spend time with family and friends we grew up with. Company was GREAT and we all indulged in good food, wine, and all sorts of fun activities. Also, I got to see my younger sister after 3 years!!! She is in the Navy and stationed in San Diego. Rayden got to meet his cousins for the first time, too. They all love lollipops. Hahaha! Now that we’re back it’s time to start cooking again, writing, drawing, and so forth. Tonight we had a ONE tray meal. This was very simple to setup and I wanted to share it with you. Flank steak seasoned with pink Himalayan salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cumin that was baked at 415 F for 18-20 minutes. I added two vegetable recipes, which can be easily added to the tray rather than cooking separately using more pots and pans. 1. Sautéed Mushrooms: https://treehousecooking.net/sauteed-mushrooms-with-butter-and-thyme/ 2. Cauliflower and Shallots: https://treehousecooking.net/roasted-spiced-cauliflower-with-shallots-and-turmeric/ Note: The last photo is a little sense of reality. I don’t have my own studio for food photography. I use whatever space I can find in the house. 😁. Just a little bit of zooming out shows what the display table really looks like. 😂 Talk to you all soon and keep enjoying your Summer!!! ☀️☀️☀️✨✨✨. . . . . #treehousecooking #onetray #onetraybake #onetraymeal #dinner #dinnerideas #homecooking #familytime #militarywife #militaryspouse #good #tasty #tastyfood #vegetables #steak #meal #bake #recipes #yum #momlife #cookingforkids #cooking #food #food
Slow Cooked Chicken and Parmesan/Leek/Shallot Dumplings Soup (Gluten-Free) Ingredient List Slow Cooked Chicken 1 quart of Chicken Broth 6-8 Chicken Thighs Celery Seed Dried Basil Garlic Powder Onion Powder Pink Himalayan Salt White or Black Pepper Dumplings ½ Large Shallot 1 Leek 2 cups of grated Parmesan Cheese 2 Eggs A glass of room temperature water 2 cups Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Biscuit Mix ½ cup of cold Butter Dried Parsley Pink Himalayan Salt White or Black Pepper I start this dish by slowing cooking chicken thighs first thing in the morning and give them a good 8-10 hours on low temperature in the crock pot. I add some other ingredients to further enhance the chicken broth flavor. I love how tender the chicken gets by dinner time. It’s perfect. The dumplings are more like the southern version as far as mouth feel. Then the added ingredients give the dumplings a more pronounced personality and the dish isn’t just about the chicken. There’s a nice balance between the soothing chicken broth, comforting and slow cooked chicken, and the flavorful dumplings. I hope you enjoy this recipe. How do you make chicken and dumpling soup? Do you have a fond memory that pops up in your mind when you think of this dish? I would love to hear from you.

Getting closer to finally finishing my first story cookbook. Very excited (of course!). These are the characters from the Teddy and Friends Series. Illustrating has been my focus for the last couple of months. Just so happy and relieved to see this coming together. Have you ever pursued a project or dream that seemed out of your reach or made you feel very doubtful? Tell me about it 😉. Still more to do, but it does feel good to make it this far.
NEW Recipe! I love tuna. It is one of my favorite fish. I love eating it in all its forms whether it be in sushi, pastas, sashimi, seaweed wraps, seared, tartar, sandwiches, and salads. My pantry always has at least 2 cans of tuna because it’s simple to put together for a delicious meal. I also like purchasing frozen tuna so I can sear it and eat it over rice. One day I would love to be able to afford fresh tuna everyday and prepare it for sushi, tartar, and sashimi. My tuna salad is a simple and delicious meal using canned tuna. It can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It’s rather simple and I add a few more ingredients to the mayonnaise that elevates the flavor and really satisfies the palette. I hope you like this, too. Mixed Green Tuna Salad Ingredient List - 1 can of Bumble Bee Wild Caught Tuna - 1 large Celery Stick - ¼ White or Yellow Onion chopped - 1 scoop of Mayonnaise - 1 scoop of Dijon Mustard - Salt and Pepper - Dried Dill - Balsamic Vinaigrette - Mixed Greens Cooking Instructions: Click the link in my profile. #treehousecooking #eatwell #recipes #easyrecipes #easyrecipesathome #tunasalad #tuna #salad #easydinner #quickandeasymeals #foodie #foodporn #yum
This is a photo dump of books I’ve been working on since June of last year. The colored photos are some samples from “The Joys of Fruit.” It’s an easy reading alphabet book. The black and white photos are samples from “Teddy Has a Good Morning.” It’s the first from a list that will be in the Teddy and Friends story cookbook series. These stories are light-hearted, adventurous, and follow the lives of 5 lovable characters. I have about 4-5 more pages to draw before I can start the coloring process. Then I’ll be adding recipes that are briefly mentioned and shown throughout the story. These are recipes you can make in the comforts of your home 🙂. I have some business administration stuff I have to accomplish first before the books are available. Until then, I wanted to share pieces with you. Thank you for taking a look, your continued support/feedback, and enjoying my recipe blog at www.treehousecooking.net. Talk to you soon!!!! Peace 🧚‍♀️ #treehousecooking #thedream #art #family #illustration
