My husband always gets annoyed, though, with how much I post food on facebook and I'm sure other people do as well. My blog is a perfect vessel for sharing my ideas and yummy recipes.
Here are some highlights from the past few months of #makehusbandfat. That's the hashtag I've been using with my recipes. My skinny man needs a little more meat (I just need to make sure I don't eat as much).
If you desire a recipe for anything, email me or comment below.
Here are some of my favorites lately:
Fried Beer Pickles
This is a favorite, occasional snack of ours. We LOVE us some fried pickles. While we know fried pickles aren't good for us, we sometimes just have to indulge. It's a very simple recipe that is usually gone in a few seconds. Actually the first time I made it, Michael ate almost the entire jar of pickles. I couldn't fry them up fast enough for him!
Italian Dressing Shish Kabob
This recipe comes from my dad. He really taught me the little I knew about cooking when I first started. We love to eat this after a long, hot summer day. It really is so good on the grill and SO easy. We always change it up, but our shish kabob includes veggies (peppers, mushrooms, onions) and meats (steak, chicken, shrimp, sausages). I always do them on the sticks, but present them like this over a bed of rice. YUM!
Roasted Chicken and Sides
We eat a lot of chicken in this house, mostly because my husband is obsessed. One of the easiest and most delicious ways to prepare chicken is to just roast it. I usually buy the breasts or thighs with bone-in and skin-on. You literally just throw whatever spices you want with some olive oil over the chicken and roast it for 30-40 minutes. It's easy and good. Of course, this dish is paired with roasted potatoes because like the chicken, my husband is obsessed with my roasted red potatoes. He eats an unnecessary amount when I make them. I also did mushrooms in some butter and easy broccoli in water. The bread is a delicious recipe of lemon, garlic, herbs, and butter... oh it's so stinkin' good!
Shrimp Alfredo
Now, whenever I make alfredo pasta I have to make shrimp or scallops for me and chicken for Michael. He loves chicken and I love seafood. The easiest way to do this is to make the sauce first, mix in the pasta, and then add the proteins once the pasta is in the bowl already. Alfredo is one of those super simple sauces that really gives a deep, rich impact to pasta.
Dijon Crusted Salmon
This recipe is actually a revised recipe I grabbed from pinterest. I did a simple dijon, bread crumble on my salmon and made the sauce separately. The salmon was good with or without the sauce. My husband doesn't like salmon, though, so this was a night he ate PBandJ.
Steak Dinner
We eat steak more often than we should probably. Aldi's Grocery Store sells these delicious little bacon-wrapped fillets (as seen above) for like $2.50 a steak. That's a steal! I always make sure to add lots of sides when we have these Aldi's steaks because they are little. I usually do a simple broccoli, my famous roasted red potatoes, and mushrooms or bread. The steaks are so easy. This last time, I made a rolled herb butter (pictured on the steak) and Michael said they were the best steaks yet. It really made that much of a difference!
Crockpot Ribs and Cheesy Potatoes
This meal was made possible with TWO crockpots. I was babysitting all day and Michael was going to be getting home later, so I threw our whole meal into crockpots. The only thing I had to do when I got home was microwave some broccoli. The ribs were done in water with some BBQ sauce added 3/4 of the way through. The potatoes were covered in onions, cheese, and bacon... uh, YUM! It was a good dinner.
Those are some of my favorite dinners from the past few months. Like I shared, anything posted on here that interests you email or comment and I'd love to share the recipe. Hopefully in the future I will do more step-by-step recipes on the blog.
Yum!
