Skillet Chicken, Peppers & Tomatoes

August 2, 2012 by Tiffany King 9 Comments

A few weeks ago I decided to make a recipe from Feast in 15. But I didn’t have any cooked chicken in the freezer. And it was way too hot to grill that day. So I decided to use the skillet instead.

The result was an entirely new recipe. I used chicken marinated in soy sauce and Italian dressing. A quick thaw in the microwave and it was ready to go. Browning the chicken in the skillet and then adding the veggies made for a tasty sauce, perfect for serving over couscous or pasta.

I don’t have an ingredient photo for you this time, because I thought I was making a recipe I’d already shared in Feast in 15. Sometimes something new sneaks up on you. [Read more…] about Skillet Chicken, Peppers & Tomatoes

Pepperoni Pizza Pasta – 15 Minute Meal

April 3, 2012 by Tiffany King 9 Comments

I am a huge fan of the 15 minute meal. Some days, there just isn’t any more time than that to pull dinner together.

This meal idea came from my mom. She had something similar when she ate out recently. I’m not sure what restaurant and I don’t know exactly how she fixed hers. There are many different ways you could take this, depending on what your family likes and what you’ve got in the pantry.

I happened to have a variety of bell peppers in the fridge, so I used them to add color and flavor. Doesn’t this pan of cooking peppers and onions look good?

Here’s what you’ll need for this quick meal: [Read more…] about Pepperoni Pizza Pasta – 15 Minute Meal

Ingredient Spotlight: Bell Peppers

June 15, 2011 by Tiffany King 14 Comments

When I was young, my relatives called a green pepper “mango”. Anyone else ever heard that name for green pepper?

We’ve actually got some green peppers growing in our garden that look like they are going to produce this year. That will be a first. We’ve tried them several times, but they just don’t do well. Hopefully, this year will be different.

But until our garden peppers are ready, I buy them at the store. I love adding sweet peppers to recipes. They make everything taste better and look pretty too.

Here are a few of my recipes that use bell peppers: [Read more…] about Ingredient Spotlight: Bell Peppers

Western Omelette Casserole

January 7, 2011 by Tiffany King 31 Comments

For Christmas morning, I wanted to make a different type of breakfast casserole than the egg/sausage one I usually make. We have to have some kind of protein to counteract the cinnamon rolls, frozen fruit cups, and hot cocoa.

I set out on a search to find a recipe that suited me, but since I’m picky, I couldn’t find the perfect casserole. So, I created one based on several recipes. I knew I wanted ham, peppers and onions. And it needed to be something I could make the day before and pop in the oven on Christmas morning to bake.

The result was exactly what I hoped for. The green and red pepper made it look Christmasy, but it would be good for any brunch. It would also make a good breakfast-for-dinner meal. I didn’t get a photo of the ingredients, but here’s what you’ll need: [Read more…] about Western Omelette Casserole

Scrambled Eggs and Peppers

August 27, 2010 by Tiffany King 7 Comments

This is more of a method than a recipe. We ate it for dinner, but if you like a big breakfast, this would be great in the morning.

I used red and yellow bell peppers, onions and Italian blend cheese. It paired up perfectly with biscuits.
