My beautiful and awesome sister invited me to guest blog for
an upcoming post and asked me to share some recipes I’ve tried lately. I absolutely love to cook and am always
looking for new recipes or new ways to cook some of my favorite foods. I am lucky that I have a husband who loves
food and cooking as much as I do and that we have an adventurous six-year-old
who will try almost anything... and like it.
I often have ground beef in my fridge or freezer and tend to
make the typical meatloaf, tacos, burgers or chili with it. Occasionally my husband makes a mean
shepherd’s pie, or shall I say cottage pie since it’s made with beef and not
lamb. I started looking for different
ways to use ground beef and came across a delicious one for beef
stroganoff. It was definitely yummy, but
I still wanted to find more recipes that were simple and comforting. As usual, I researched my favorite website,
skinnytaste, and came across a recipe for Salisbury Steak. I know what you’re thinking, Salisbury Steak
is what you had for TV dinners back in the 80s and you haven’t thought of it
since. Let me tell you, it was a blast
from the past delicious. I did alter the
recipe a little as I didn’t have any ground turkey on hand and I ended up serving
mine over Cauliflower mash instead of mashed potatoes. My son scarfed it down and I got a little
extra since it was so delicious. It
definitely satisfied our palates and made me fulfilled in my quest of finding
another ground beef recipe to add to my recipe box.

Other than looking for new recipes for change, I also enjoy
cooking with the seasons. I love the
fall and everything that goes with it – leaves changing color, crispness in the
air, soups/stews and fall vegetables. I
was interested in spaghetti squash, having only made it once before, and
finding it easier to make than I thought and really yummy. This time I wanted to add more ingredients
and flavor to it. I came across a recipe
that had mushrooms (one of my son’s favorites), garlic and sage. I love using herbs that I don’t use very
often so I settled on trying this recipe.
It turned out delicious and my little boy and husband were very pleased
with the results. The sage was yummy and
we even did the truffle oil drizzle before eating it. I would definitely make this recipe again,
but I am sure my curiosity of cooking things different ways will entice me to
seek out more recipes for spaghetti squash that I can keep in my repertoire.
