I got a new toy today 🙂. Can’t wait to use it to chop and slice all our food! Have you seen the Korean show “Chef and My Fridge” on Netflix? If you like cooking shows check this one out. Chefs are given 15 minutes to make a meal from the fridge of some celebrity. It’s amusing and I can’t believe some of the dishes the Chefs make in ONLY 15 minutes. . . Tonight, dinner was slow cooked beef (the cut made for pot roast) and sautéed vegetables. I left the beef in a crockpot simmering in chicken broth at low heat for 8 hours. I took the beef out and gently pulled it apart before I mixed salt and garlic powder with it. . . Vegetables were chopped. 1 onion 1 red bell pepper 5 cloves of garlic 1 head of broccoli Mix with extra virgin olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dried basil, dried thyme, and celery seed. Sauté on medium or medium high heat until the broccoli is cooked through. Layer on top of the beef and eat with a BIG spoon. YUM!!! . . Fun fact: Red bell peppers have more vitamin C than oranges. Enjoy!

2 Layered Rolled Egg with Sautéed Peppers/Onions and Cheese Ingredients: 8 Eggs 3 Spring Onions 1/4 Red Bell Pepper Extra Virgin Olive Oil Salt Butter Garlic Powder Dried Parsley Mexican Cheese Mix Cooking Instructions: 1. Separate egg yolks and whites 2. Blend egg yolks until smooth 3. Finely chop or dice the bell pepper and spring onions. - Put into a mixing bowl and drizzle some extra virgin olive oil and add a sprinkle of garlic powder and salt (I used Pink Himalayan Salt) 4. Sauté the vegetables on medium heat until the onions brown. - Then take the vegetables off the heat. You will be using them again shortly. 5. In two different flat pans add butter (or oil) to coat the bottom. - Bring the flat pans to a medium high heat. Once the butter has melted pour in egg whites into one pan and egg yolks to the other. - Lower the heat to medium low. 6. As the eggs are cooking, place the sautéed vegetables around the egg whites and sprinkle the Mexican cheese mix in the egg yolks. 7. Once the eggs have cooked (about 5 minutes) gently lay the eggs onto a cutting board. - Place the egg yolk on the bottom as the melted cheese will help keep the two layers together. 8. Roll the eggs. Slice off the ends (and eat them - teehee 😄). Slice the rest of the rolled eggs as thin or thick as you like. 9. Garnish with a touch of salt and dried parsley. Enjoy! As we’ve been social distancing I’ve been catching up on a new YouTube channel called Liziqi. If you enjoy beautiful scenery, cooking shows, calming music, and lifestyle documentaries you have to check her out. I find her food presentation and her thoughtfulness to living life very inspiring. Of course, I don’t want to just be inspired, but I want live it. You know what I mean? Today I wanted to make an omelette for lunch. Inspired by one of Liziqi’s episodes where she makes a myriad of picnic food that becomes more appealing and mindful because of her presentation I decided to make a rolled omelette. My husband calls this dish egg sushi. Haha! I hope you like it and have fun making it as much as I did. I also paired this with some simple, but delicious rolled and fried tortillas with melted cheese Peace. ☺️

Tteobbakki (Korean Rice Cake Street Food) . . Ingredients - 1 package of Tteobbakki (Korean rice cakes) - Gochujang (Red Pepper Paste) - 1 tablespoon of soy sauce - 1 tablespoon of sesame oil - Garlic Powder - 1 bundle of enoki mushrooms - Japanese chives (Allium tuberosum - I just Googled that 😉. Kind of sounds like a Harry Potter spell) . . Cooking Instructions 1. Place Tteobbakki in a mixing bowl and let soak in water for 5-10 minutes (hot water if the Tteobbakki is frozen) 2. While the rice cakes soak, chop up and clean enoki mushrooms and Japanese chives 3. Drain the Tteobbakki and add to a wok or frying pan at medium high heat 4. Add a spoonful or two of gochujang (taste test a little bit on your finger because it is spicy), sesame oil, soy sauce, and sprinkle garlic powder. Mix the paste and rice cakes. - If you find the paste to be too thick add a little bit of water 5. Add Japanese chives and enoki mushrooms 6. Continue to mix until everything is covered. Serve and enjoy!! . . I was craving Tteobbakki today. I haven’t had it for a few months. . The first time I tried this was years ago when Jeff and I lived in Japan and we were at a Japanese night festival. The next time I would have it would be in Clovis, New Mexico while visiting a friend who lived in town. She grew up with Korean traditional dishes and I was so curious (I did not grow up eating Korean food). She gave me a plastic bag with the ingredients to make Tteobbakki and I tried it at home. So easy and full of bright flavor! . . It’s also fun to mix and add other ingredients. In this case, I added chives and enoki mushrooms and removed the fish cakes. . . #yum #tteokbokki #ricecakes #homecooking #recipe #spicy #spicyfood #comfortfood #koreanfood #cooking

Recipe: Stuffed Crescent Dough Rolls with Seasoned Turkey Sausage and Melted Swiss Cheese . . Ingredients: - 3 Pre-made Crescent Roll Doughs (or homemade) - 1-2 packages of Turkey Sausage (or your favorite kind of sausage) - Butter - Dried Basil - Garlic Powder - Himalayan Pink Salt - 1 Diced White, Yellow, or Sweet Onion - Baby Swiss Cheese (Mozzarella, Gouda, and any melt-y cheese will work) . . Cooking Instructions: - Sauté sausage and onion with a 1/2-1 Tbsp of butter on medium high heat - Gently put the cooked sausage and onions into a mixing bowl and add salt, garlic powder, and dried basil to your taste. - Take a palm-sized amount of crescent dough and roll into a ball. Then smoosh flat on a hard surface (I used a cutting board). - Spread out the dough with your fingers and place some sausage, onions, and cheese in the center. - Wrap the filling with the crescent roll dough and shape into a ball with your hands - Bake the rolls at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 13-15 minutes. - Serve as is or add a dip. I mixed extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinaigrette, and black pepper. . . This recipe was perfect for this time. I’m a stay-at-home mom and I love cooking with my son. Making stuffed rolls was time consuming, fun, and hilarious. While making the rolls my son kept reaching for the crescent roll dough and I was acting goofy and tried to stop him. For some reason the tease made him laugh a lot. Also, him being able to play with the dough like play dough entertained him. . . When these rolls were done my husband gave me a big high five. They are comfort food and everyone loved them. Try it and make fun/funny memories together :) Enjoy! . . . #stuffedrolls #crescentrolls #rolls #butter #sausage #turkeysausage #eat #happy #cook #cooking #comfortfood #driedbasil #swisscheese #dinnerideas #dinner #recipes #homecooking #militaryfamily #momlife #cookingforatoddler #toddler #delicious #simple #semihomemade #familytime BBC

Hey Everybody, Here’s a new recipe for you 😊 . . Soy Sauce, Honey, and Herb Pork Loin Center Chops . . Ingredients: - 2 Pork Loin Center Chops - Butter Marinade: - 1/4 cup Soy Sauce - 1/4 cup Raw Honey - Spoonful of Dijon Mustard - 2 tablespoons Garlic Powder - 1 tablespoon of Italian Herb Blend - 1 tablespoon Smoked Paprika - Drizzle of Olive Oil . . Cooking Instructions: - Bring your pan to medium high heat and melt 1-2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Let it melt completely and coat the pan. - Place pork loins on the pan and let them fry for 3-4 minutes before flipping them over. - Lower the heat to medium. - After you flip the pork loins the first time use a cooking brush (or spoon) to add the marinade - Flip again after 2-3 minutes and add more marinade - Do this two more times and the pork should be cooked all the way through - Let them rest for a few minutes before you serve - Drizzle leftover sauce on top and garnish with dried parsley (optional) . . This was our dinner tonight and it was SO tasty! The pork came out very tender and juicy. The marinade is delicious and I used it on our vegetables, too. They were pan fried broccoli and onions. . . You may notice in the picture some bacon cooking with the pork loins. That was me having a “creative moment” and I ended up burning the bacon. Haha! So, the bacon did not make it onto the plate, but has become a snack for our dog. . . Lately I’ve been illustrating, drawing, and writing. You can see the makings of my books and art at @jlp_stephensart . . Have a great rest of the week and talk to you soon! - Jessica ✨✨✨✨ . . #pork #dinner #recipes #food #homecooking #lovetoeat #enjoy #yummy #tasty #delicious #dinnerideas #mom #family #dogmom #militaryspouse #good

✨✨✨New Recipe ✨✨✨ . Black Bean Garlic Sauce Marinade . Tastes really good on beef ribs. This marinade would work on all sorts of proteins, pan fried vegetables, and noodles! . I like to use a grated pear to tenderize beef. I discard the skin. If this recipe isn’t sweet enough then use brown sugar. . Enjoy 😊 . . . . . #marinade #beef #blackbeangarlicsauce #meat #weightlossrecipes #recipes #pear #dinner #lunch #appetizers #food #foodie #eat #familydinner #love
