I have decided to try and share more recipes that are easy for our busy lives. There is nothing like a quick, easy and tasty home cooked meal. My craving for comfort food is what prompted me to experiment with this dish. Since this dish got the family seal of approval. I had to share. So let’s dive into this recipe.

This recipe serves 4

Once your mixture has cooled a bit……about 5 minutes. It’s time to add it into your ramekins. Once you have your ramekins filled it’s time to top with your pie crust.

Take a bowl a little larger than your ramekins and use it to cut out four pot pie crust.

* This is optional use a small cookie cutter in the center of your pot pie crust and make a cut-out.

Or simply score the pie crust after you place them on top of your ramekins.

Ginger Scallion Wingettes

Posted in Food & Recipes by sewloveable

Hello everyone,

Welcome to……..

My oldest daughter has an obsession with chicken wings/wingettes. Sometimes I feel like she is making up for years of not liking chicken at all. One day a family friend got her to taste a chicken wing while we were attending a party they hosted. From that day on this girl has had a serious love for wings!

Since she has such a serious love I am always looking for unique and new ways to prepare them. So I am here today to share my latest kitchen creation with you.

Here’s what you will need:

(*This post contains affiliate links, which means I may receive compensation if you make a purchase using the links.)

4 lb of organic chicken wings or wingettes

8 organic scallions (chopped)

1/4 C organic ginger (chopped)

1 tsp liquid amino ( or low sodium soy sauce)

1 tsp toasted sesame oil

1/2 C of oil (like avocado or grapeseed) divided into (2) 1/4 C servings

Seasoning:

In a small bowl mix the following.

1 tsp of garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper

Method:

Preheat oven to 450°

Line baking sheet(s) with parchment.

Place your clean, drained and dry wings in a large bowl.

Add your avocado oil and seasoning to your chicken and toss to evenly coat each piece.

Place into your preheated oven and let cook for 35-40 minutes. (They will be a light golden brown and cooked through.)

While the chicken is cooking let’s work on the sauce/paste that we will coat our wings with. In a food processor add the following……

Scallions, ginger, amino acid, sesame oil and avocado oil (pulse mixture for 30 seconds to a minute.)

Pour your scallion sauce/paste into a large bowl. Once your wings are done add them to the bowl and toss to evenly coat the wings with the scallion/ginger mixture.

Place the wings back onto your baking sheet(s) and pop them back into the oven for 5-10 minutes to set the sauce onto the wings.

Once cooled, enjoy!

Easy One Skillet Lasagna

Posted in Food & Recipes by sewloveable

Hello everyone,

Welcome to…………

Lasagna is a dish I really enjoy. My only issue is that making lasagna can be quite time-consuming and require so many ingredients. A remedy to this is the One Skillet Lasagna. I’ve been seeing a lot of them online lately and decided to make my own version.

I hope you will enjoy this simple, quick, easy and flavorful recipe………let’s get started.

Ingredients:

(*This post contains affiliate links, which means I may receive compensation if you make a purchase using the links.)

1 lb ground organic chicken

2 C fresh organic spinach (finely chopped)

1 C organic chicken broth

1 Tbsp avocado oil ( or oil of choice)

1/2 C organic diced onion ( yellow or white)

1 C shredded organic mozzarella cheese

1 (16 oz.) Jar of organic marinara sauce

6-8 organic whole grain lasagna noodles

Seasoning for meat:

In a small bowl combine the following.

1 tsp garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil and a salt-free seasoning blend (like Mrs. Dash)

1/2 tsp of black pepper, thyme, sage and salt

Seasoning for the sauce:

In a small bowl combine the following.

1 tsp garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil and a salt-free seasoning blend (like Mrs. Dash)

1/2 tsp of black pepper, thyme and sage

Method:

In a large and deep skillet on medium heat add your oil. Once your oil is heated add your ground chicken and cook until cooked through and browned.
Add the spinach and meat seasoning. Stir until everything is evenly incorporated.
Next add your chicken broth, marinara sauce and seasonings. Stir to combine. Allow the mixture to come to a boil (takes 5 minutes or less).
Now that the mixture has come to a boil….break up your lasagna noodles into bite size pieces and add them to the meat mixture. Cover with a lid and let this cook for 20-30 minutes or until your noodles are cooked.
Once the noodles are done turn off the heat add your cheese, cover back up and allow your cheese to melt. Once the cheese is melted your “One Skillet Lasagna” is ready. For added color feel free to sprinkle on some dried parsley or fresh if your prefer.

I hope you enjoy this recipe it was a huge hit with my kid’s so much so that I ended up making it twice in the same week. By the way, they had no idea that I had spinach hidden throughout the dish……I’ll let that be our little secret.

How To Make Miso Honey Wings

Posted in Food & Recipes by sewloveable

Hello everyone,

Welcome to…………..

If you are looking to add something a little sweet and savory to the menu, then this is the perfect option. These wings work great for appetizers or as a part of the main course for dinner.

Let’s get right into it……..

Ingredients:

(*This post contains affiliate links, which means I may receive compensation if you make a purchase using the links.)

2-3 lbs of organic chicken wings or wingettes (clean and dry them and place in a large bowl)

1/2 C of honey

1/3 C Organic Miso Paste ( I used Miso Master’s Organic White Miso)

1 tsp Amino Acid or low sodium soy sauce (I use Bragg Amino Acid Liquid)

Herbs and spice (* combine the following in a small bowl and mix to evenly combine)

1 tsp organic granulated garlic powder and granulated onion powder

1/2 tsp of organic ground ginger and black pepper

Avocado Oil (or any other oil than can be cooked at a temp of 450°or higher)

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 450°

2. Line a baking sheet or 2 with parchment (for easy clean up)

3. In a large bowl add your honey, miso, and amino acid. Stir until smooth and combined and set aside for now.

4. Add your herbs and spices to the chicken, toss to evenly coat each piece evenly.

5. Place your chicken on the baking sheet(s) making sure they are not touching and have enough space. Drizzle a bit of oil over the wings ( we want to get a nice crisp skin on the chicken.)

6. Bake in your 450° preheated, oven for 35-40 minutes. Your chicken should be golden brown.

7. Once the chicken is cooked through and golden, remove it from the oven and add the chicken in the miso and honey sauce bowl. Toss the wings to get them evenly coated with the sauce.

8. Place the wing back onto the baking sheets and place them back into the oven for 2-3 minutes to let the sauce thoroughly adhere to the chicken.

9. Remove from the oven. Allow to cool and enjoy!

This dish was a really big hit with my family. For me it offered the best of both worlds…..sweet and savory all in one. I hope you will give this recipe a try and that you and your family enjoy it as much as we did.

Organic Vegetarian Pot Stickers

Posted in Food & Recipes, Trying New Things (Reviews) by sewloveable

Hello everyone,

Welcome to Tasty Tuesday!!

Usually, I share a recipe but today I wanted to share a new find. A few weeks ago the kids and I were in Costco and we found a new item. Frozen Organic Pot Stickers.

When it comes to pre-packaged meals…….. it’s not something I really buy. Usually because of the ingredients and if it has good quality ingredients the sodium is usually really high. So for me, these types of meals get left in the store.

Then I’ll make a promise to the kids to try and re-create it at home with healthier ingredients. Which doesn’t always happen right away.

Thankfully……I found something that I could actually put in the cart, take home and have prepared in minutes.

Now all I can do is hope…….that it taste good and that we all like. Is that asking for too much?

Well, I am here to tell you…..that I now believe in miracles…lol….because we all loved them.

Have any of you tried these or have any other recommendations, please let me know?

Thank you for taking the time to stop by, I greatly appreciate it.

Extra Crispy Oven Fried Ravioli

Posted in Food & Recipes by sewloveable

Hello everyone,

Welcome to Tasty Tuesday!!

I’ve had this dish on my mind for a while now. So last week while grocery shopping, I finally remembered to pick up the frozen ravioli.

This dish is simple to make, great for kid-friendly cooking and kid approved. I promise you that it has such a great crunch on the outside with a tender and cheesy inside. Dishes like this are perfect especially when you are not in the cooking mood, but you don’t want to resort to picking up fast food. It’s really a quick cooking dish. You can check out my other quick cooking semi-homemade ravioli dish here.

Ok, let’s get cooking!!

Ingredients :

1 Package of Frozen Ravioli
1 Cup of Whole Wheat Flour
1 Cup of Panko Bread Crumb
2 Eggs
1 tsp of water
Cooking Spray

Seasoning:
Paprika, black pepper, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano and basil (you can use whatever spices you desire)

Instructions :

Cook Ravioli according to package instructions and drain. You will only need 25 Ravioli pieces. The rest can be refrigerated and enjoyed with marinara the next day. (No wasting here.)

Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper, place a baking rack on top.

Pre-heat oven to 450 °

In 3 shallow dishes….Place flour in the first, eggs+ 1 tsp of water in the second and panko in the third.

Add 1/2 tsp of the seasoning to your flour dish and your panko dish and mix each dish to combine the seasoning. (optional you can also season your eggs….I simply seasoned mine with 1/4 tsp of Black Pepper and tiny pinch Garlic and Onion powder…..I like all elements to have flavor so that the Ravioli is nicely flavored.)

Set up an assembly line Ravioli, Flour, Egg, Panko and your prepared baking rack.

Take the Ravioli and coat with flour, dip in the egg and coat in the panko and onto the baking rack. (This part I did with my children we each dipped the Ravioli into an assigned mixture….this assembly line made thing’s go by very quickly.)

Once you have all the Ravioli on the baking rack spray with cooking spray. (I used Trader Joe’s Coconut Oil Cooking Spray across the top.)

Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Warm up some marinara(I love Bertolli’s Organic line) and place in a dish for dipping.

Once done let cool….. it’s time to dip and enjoy.

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by, I greatly appreciate it. If you give this recipe a try, please let me know how you enjoyed it.

I would love to connect with you on social media follow me…..I follow back!!

Organic Corn Bread in 4 Easy Steps

Posted in Food & Recipes by sewloveable

Hello everyone,

Welcome to Tasty Tuesday!!!!

Growing up corn bread was made pretty frequently in my family. It was my brother’s absolute favorite. When my family and I visited my grandparents my grandmother would make homemade cornbread, she would always say the best cornbread is made in a cast iron skillet.

So today I decided to follow in her footsteps and make cornbread in a cast iron skillet.

Ingredients:

2 C Organic Cornmeal

1 1/2 C Organic All Purpose Flour

1 1/2 C Organic Unsweetened Applesauce

2 C Unsweetened Organic Plain or Vanilla Almond Milk

3/4 C Organic Sugar Cane

2 Large Organic Eggs

6 Tbsp of unsalted melted butter ( I prefer Kerrygold)

2 tsp baking powder (aluminium-free)

1 tsp sea salt (pink Himalayan)

1 tsp organic vanilla extract
