I love to cook. I love learning new recipes and putting my own twist on them, which essentially means: 1) not measuring anything, and 2) using whatever ingredients I have on hand. This is the best part about cooking, in my opinion! You don’t have to follow a recipe perfectly (unless, you’re making your noni’s or mom’s sauce & meatballs). So, that’s exactly what these recipes are. Use them as a guideline, and if you want to add or substitute anything, go for it! Share your feedback in the comments - I’d love to hear how your recipe came out!
first, cook steak to your liking (my husband is a medium rare/medium person, I’m a well-done person) and hard boil eggs, so they aren’t extremely hot when you top your salad. next, add romaine lettuce, avocado, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, roasted corn blend (you can buy it already roasted in a can), and blue cheese crumble. top with hard boiled egg, steak, crispy garlic onion straws, and blue cheese dressing.
mix warm/hot water, apple cider vinegar, sugar & salt. put chopped red onions in a container (mason jars are my fav) and pour the mixture over. refrigerate for at least 24 hours before enjoying. good for a few weeks!
add basil, pine nuts, garlic, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese and EVOO to a food processor/blender and mix. add water to play with consistency.
cut off the tops of the peppers. boil the peppers in hot water for ~10 minutes. brown the meat. drain the juice from the meat, then add onions and chopped pepper tops. add diced tomatoes, jar of sauce, Worcestershire, garlic, salt, oregano, salt & pepper, and cooked rice. stuff peppers and cook for about an hour. top with shredded cheese if desired.
