Mexican Pizza

I had some ground beef to use, and was planning to make tacos, until I had the bright idea to try and make a Mexican pizza for the first time! This was so simple and there are a couple different ways you can make this. For example, if you want a bigger meal if you are really hungry, you can place another tortilla on top of the beef and put all the toppings on the top. I must warn you- this is how I made my first pizza, and could only eat half of it! I am going to show you how to make a 1- layered pizza. Hope you enjoy!

Chicken & Chorizo Stuffed Peppers


I had some lonely chicken breasts sitting in my refrigerator and I didn't know what to make with it.  While browsing the produce section in the grocery store, I came upon the colorful bell pepper section, and I came up with an idea. A southwestern style stuffed bell pepper! The end result of my dish was a colorful and tasty dish that is sure to please!

French Onion Soup

French onion soup is my favorite soup, and the cheese is by far my favorite part- with that being said, the Gruyere cheese is, in my opinion, the most important ingredient in this recipe. I would not substitute this cheese for any other kind. It is a great cheese for baking and the flavor is savory without overpowering the other ingredients.

Chopped Salad

I'm not a huge fan of salads made at home. I had not been able to find a dressing that I like, and salads always seem to be so boring when made at home.... until now. This chopped salad includes a lot of fresh produce ingredients, and there are so many flavors, colors and textures that your taste buds will be left wanting more!
