Turkey Meatloaf Revisited

Tonight, I am making turkey meatloaf, with an exciting brand-new side dish, however, I have found an egregious error. So, it turns out, on my first recipe post ever, I found an error that had even permeated my top-secret, hard-copy recipe book! Try my turkey meatloaf featuring ¼ cup of parsley instead of that measly ¼ teaspoon.

Chocolate-Orange Biscotti

Biscotti are those fantastic dry cookies you dunk in a good cup of coffee. The word biscotti originates from the Latin word biscoctus, meaning "twice-cooked/baked." Baking the biscotti twice makes them very dry and easily stored.

Blueberries and Cream Cheese Coffeecake

It's lovely, decadent, and it's for breakfast! This coffeecake is perfect for brunches. When serving, this cake tastes best when you've warmed it in the microwave for 20–30 sec.

Lentil & Collard Chili Soup

This lentil chili was great for when I was sick recently. It has a nice amount of heat and tastes great over a baked potato. The lentils impart an amazing amount of fiber to the soup—about 19g per serving! This recipe was adapted from an American Heart Association recipe.

And We're Back!

Yes, I've been on a little hiatus from serious cooking for the past couple months because cooking while moving is extremely difficult. Especially when that cooking involves creativity.

I did find out that my turkey stroganoff and veggie lasagna made the perfect no-hassle, low-mess moving foods. Check them out for those times when you need to make a no-fuss dinner that'll make great leftovers for a few days.

So, here's to hoping I post regularly!

Thai Three-Flavored Salmon

I love going out for Thai food, but that gets a little pricey. My favorite dish at the local place is Three-Flavored Salmon. My version doesn't taste exactly like it, but I'm getting closer! Also, if you haven't noticed, salmon fillets are reeeally expensive, so I've found a decent poor-man's alternative at my local Costco—salmon burgers. They're a surprisingly delicious way to stretch your dollar.
