I get these smoked sausages pretty much every other week at the grocery store for a couple of reasons. 1). It’s cheap! Usually 2 for $5.00 and they are low in calories (1 serving is only 110 calories). I’ve been sick all week, just went …
Believe it or not, but I am the only one in my family that likes quiche! I would make it all the time for dinner/brunch, but sadly that’s not the case. So, I decided to make my own quiche for one! I used 1 oz. …
I am re-posting this recipe because I love pot stickers so much! I think I could eat these every day and never get tired of them! The best thing about making these is that you can pretty much use up any extra veggies or protein …
I would say about 99% of the time, I DO NOT buy meat with the bones in it. I just don’t like cooking with them, or picking the meat off, etc…. BUT, my sister kept on telling me how much cheaper it is to buy …
