Recipe 21 is in the books. I actually cooked this one for my mom a few weeks ago when I was visiting and it came out great. As a woman with Italian blood, pasta is one of my favorite foods and I am always looking for new ways to make it into a meal. While …
It has been a LONG time since I have done an update on this, even though I have done a TON of cooking for this bucket list item over the last month. However, life has gotten in the way and I have not really had the chance to do a proper update. I have five …
Recipe nineteen is finished! I am visiting my mom and told her I would make her one of the recipes from this cookbook challenge. We agreed on the Pork Chop with Sweet Potato Mash and Spinach. It is a meal I make pretty often on my own, but Snoop’s recipe put a new spin on …
Two more recipes are completed! I actually did these about a week ago, but life got in the way, so it was difficult to find time to post! I also combined these two since they were made on the same day. Recipe 17: Mile High Omelet: This was an omelet with 4 eggs, cheddar cheese, …
My sixteenth recipe is DONE! I cannot believe how fast this item on my bucket list is going….I still have a lot more to do, but slowly but surely it will get done. (And don’t call me Shirley!) I have two planned for this weekend and more for when I visit my mom next week, …
Recipe fifteen is in the books! Only 47 left to go for this challenge to be done. I am excited with how this is progressing and only wish I could do more. However, I have been feeling under the weather these past few days, so cooking has taken a back seat. This particular recipe was …
Fourteen recipes in….and there was bound to be a failure in there at some point. The bacon may have burned for recipe for recipe 4, but at least with that one, the non burned parts came out fine. This time….it was a mess. I tried to save it (and it didn’t taste too bad, but …
Ah, lucky number 13! I am officially done with thirteen recipes for Item 21 on my 40 by 40 with Sammi Bucket List Challenge. So far, all of them have been delicious, knock on wood. Even the bacon that got burned was fairly decent, once I got rid of the burned parts! Tonight was no …
Another recipe is completed. I actually made this last night because I needed to finish up the package of chicken I had defrosted and wanted to make extra food for my brother to take to work. This was his orange (but really kind of burgundy) chicken and white rice. I must confess that I was …
It is Sunday, which is a great day for cooking. Of course, this means crossing more recipes off my list! I made two today, but only served one. I will share that one today and the other one tomorrow. Here is the rundown for the Yardie Yardbird, aka Jerk Chicken; Blend 1/4 cup olive oil, …
I finished another recipe this morning. It was very simple, but very delicious and healthy. It was called Tha Smoovie, which is a healthy protein shake. All you need is a handful of spinach, an orange (peeled and seeds removed), coconut water and a banana. Blend until smooth and serve immediately. Next time, I will …
Last night, I cooked another recipe or my 40 by 40 Bucket List Challenge, Item 21. I am officially nine recipes in with 51 more to go. The ninth recipe I completed was the Tha Next Level Salmon, which had a side of garlic green beans. It is simple, delicious and can be completed in …
Another day, another recipe! Today I went the simple route and made the Good Good Green Beans. I had initially intended to make the salmon, but life happened so I decided to do the KISS method when it came to doing a recipe tonight. For those of you not in the know, the KISS method …
Happy Sunday! I had some extra time today, so I decided to make another recipe for Item 21 on my 40 by 40 With Sammi Bucket List Challenge. I wasn’t sure if I was going to do anything today, but since I had all the ingredients in the house, decided to make the brownies in …
I began the next item on my #40by40WithSammi Bucket List Challenge. As you know, I chose From Crook to Cook by Snoop Dogg for my cookbook. I chose his Mack and Cheese recipe to start, which is a recipe from his wife. Below is the recipe, my thoughts and what I liked or would change. …
