This recipe is so simple and taste amazing that even my boyfriend who is an asparagus hater lol asks for this dish from time to time.

All you need is:

  • 1 lb of asparagus
  • 2 to 3 tbsp of olive oil
  • 2 tbsp of bread crumbs
  • 2 tbsp of feta cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste

Remember there is no exact science to some recipes so you can give or take on these ingredients based on your liking.

Lay asparagus in your pan and drizzle olive oil throughout. I live to move the asparagus around to get all the stalks moist. Then top the asparagus with the remaining ingredients.

Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for approximately 20 mins.

Honestly it’s so good I could eat the whole dish myself. If you don’t like feta cheese then just omit and it’ll taste just as good!

Another easypeasy recipe that I whipped together. i take ideas here and there from other recipes then tweak them to make them my own. This one is super easy and tasted amazing.

6 to 8 white potatos peeled, quartered and boiled for about 10 just before they get tender

1/4 cup of mayonnaise

1/2 lb of bacon cooked (extra crispy)

1/4 cup of diced scallions

1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

Salt and Pepper to taste if needed but I didn’t even have to use it because between the bacon and scallions there was so much flavor in there already.

Mix all the above ingredients together and serve

These are so simple to make and they call for really basic ingridients. We were going to a friends house to have a fire and I didn’t feel like running out to the store so I used what I had on hand. Bisquick, ground beef, taco seasoning, eggs, Franks Red Hot Sauce, and shredded cheddar cheese.

2 cups of Bisquick

1 1/2 cup of milk

2 eggs

1 lb of ground beef

1 pkg of taco seasoning(any kind will do)

Franks Red Hot Sauce

All you need to do is mix your Bisquick, eggs, and milk and set aside.

Brown your ground meat, drain fat, and add your taco seasoning mix(follow recipe on the package as if you were making tacos). I like to add about 3 tsp of Franks Red Hot Sauce to give it a little kick.

Grease your mini muffin pan with either Crisco Shortening or just softened butter

Layer starting with your Bisquick mix first, then your taco meat mixture, and then top with your shredded cheddar cheese!

I showed it in steps here.

Bake about 12 to 15 mins on 375. Just be sure to preheat your oven at about 425 for 5 or 10 mins first.

Let cool before removing and then they should easily pop right out.

Homemade quick and easy lasagna

Okay here it goes my recipe for quick and easy homemade lasagna. I am no chef but I must say my cooking isn’t all that bad. I have a very busy schedule and really don’t have the time to go all out on making big dinners so I like to whip up good belly sticking homemade full your tummy meals. On the menu tonight was lasagna.

Just keep in mind, I always season to taste. I actually think that is my whole motto in life. I season to taste just about everything I do!

Homemade Quick and Easy Lasagna

Lasagna Filling

1 lb. Ground Beef

1 lb. Sweet Sausage

12 pkg. of fresh chopped mushrooms

1  onion chopped yellow onion

16 oz shredded mozzarella cheese

16 oz Whole milk ricotta cheese

1/2 cup of parmesan cheese

2 eggs

1 tbsp garlic powder

1 tbsp onion powder

1/2 tsp

1/2 tsp pepper

9 cooked lasagna noodles(perfect fit for an 8×12 pan)

020

Brown ground beef and sausage and drain

Saute mushrooms and onion(I usually melt 1 tbsp of butter in the bottom of the pan)

Mix all cheeses, eggs, and spices – set aside

Quick Sauce

The sauce is something you can actually make ahead of time or if you are in a real rush buy a jar of Ragu traditional and 3 – 32 oz cans of crushed tomatoes, add all together and let cook about 1 hour and half before time. I like to brown some garlic on the bottom before adding the jar and cans of sauce. What really gives it a good flavor is about 3/4 of a cup of parmesan cheese. Kid you not it adds a lot of flavor.

Directions

Layer the bottom of your pan with 3 lasagna noodles.

Spread cheese mixture on top. We like it cheesy so I usually add extra shredded mozzarella on top of the cheese mixture as well.

Spread browned meat/mushroom, onion mix next.

Dribble sauce on top of that.

Sprinkle parmesan cheese and garlic powder.

Repeat starting with the layered noodles.

When you put your last(3rd row of noodles down, only finish it with sauce and mozzarella cheese).

Don’t use too much sauce throughout because it will get watery!!

Remember season to taste! Don’t be afraid to use extra spices! A little extra flavor never killed anyone. I use hardly any salt because

it’s bad for your blood pressure!!
