Chicken Paprikash

I was sure I had posted this recipe here already as it's one of my favorite dishes, but I haven't.  I was sure I got it from a co-worker, years ago but when I asked her, she told me her recipe was a Paprikash soup.  So now, I'm sure that I don't really know when I'm "sure"... Anyway, I don't know where I got the "how to" for this, but below is what I do.  There are a tonne of different recipes and comments about what is authentic Hungarian is and what is not.  The last time I made it and brought it to someone at work, he told me it tasted like "butter chicken".  I think I used boneless, skinless thighs that time.  😏  So, whatever I do is most likely not authentic, but all I care is that it tastes good.  It's comfort food and this was Sunday dinner.

Fried Brown Rice with Pork

I had some leftover pork roast to use up and thought I'd whip this dish up for dinner tonight.  I made enough to have leftovers.  I wanted to buy some good healthy rice, so chose organic Lundberg brown jasmine.  For sure this is my favorite brand that I have tried so far, that I can find locally in any grocery store.  I would have normally cooked it last night so it was ready to use today, but didn't have any in the house.

Zucchini Almond Butter Blondies

I saw this on "The Chew" t.v. show today on my DVR.  I decided I'd make them since they seemed somewhat healthy and a good thing to pack for the sweet "treat" in lunches.  Also, it was very easy and with few ingredients.

Molly Stevens’ Best Braised Cabbage with Chicken Apple Sausages

I love a good braise!  A co-worker picked up these below for me and I was wondering what I should do with them???

Sriracha-Butter Cod with Garlicky Kale

I don't like to cook on Friday nights when starting the weekend.  However,  this was simple, so I gave it a go, tweaking it my way.

New York Steak Cauliflower Fried Rice

I know, sounds weird, right?...  One of these throw together dinners I probably won't do again.  I bought this below, from Costco.

Vegan Lasagna with "Ricotta" and Mushroom "Meat" Sauce

This became my Sunday dinner project.  If it was good, I'd have lunch for the work week to come.  Well, even if it was bad, I'd have it for days to come, so fingers crossed... I'm a sucker for béchamel sauce in lasagna, so this recipe really appealed to me.  Also I've tried some store bought vegan "mozzarella" cheese (Daiya brand) and it did not taste good in the slightest to me.  I did a couple of minor edits, which I changed below.  It made me laugh when I told my son about it, he simply said very hesitantly, "...interesting".  😏

Vegan Sichuan Shirataki Sesame Noodle Salad

Yup, those shirataki noodles are a godsend when watching carbs and zero calories too, what more could you ask for?  They are the perfect noodle substitute, especially in a dish like this.

Spicy Caribbean Mahi Mahi

I picked up the mahi mahi at Costco in the frozen section.  It wasn't cheap at $37 for about ten 4 ounce portions.
