German Potato Salad
I’m usually not too creative with my side dishes. As I’ve mentioned before, I focus on the main dish and completely forget about any sides. About five minutes before serving, I suddenly realize that I’m missing half my dinner and throw some veggies into a skillet. Today, I decided to focus on the side dish. […]
Spicy Cashew Rice
This Indian-style spicy cashew rice is an incredible side dish. Who knew so much flavor could be packed into a rice dish? Plus, it has cashews. And we’re a bit obsessed with cashews. The plan was to make this spicy rice last week, but we ended up eating the entire can of cashews before I […]
Thanksgiving Eggs Benedict
I love Thanksgiving for one main reason: the leftovers. Mostly because I can just pull the leftovers out of the fridge and have a complete meal with minimal effort. In our house, Thanksgiving is a multi-day affair. By the time Thanksgiving dinner arrives, I’m exhausted. To keep from having the same thing every day after […]
Blackened Mahi-Mahi Taco Bowls
Just a few weeks ago, I made one of my favorite taco recipes: Blackened Mahi-Mahi Tacos. The tacos are filled with spicy blackened fish, cheese, tomatoes, cabbage, and drizzled with a chipotle mayo sauce. So. Much. Flavor. These Blackened Mahi-Mahi Tacos Bowls have many of the same flavors, with less mess. I’m pretty messy when it […]
Chilean Sea Bass in a Bag (En Papillote)
This Chilean Sea Bass is gently steamed in its own juices with white wine and aromatics. This is a wonderful recipe to serve for guests since everyone can get their own little parchment packet. Cutting the bags open tableside makes for an impressive presentation, filling the room with steam and aromatics. In these packets, I’ve added […]
Diver Scallop And Shrimp Puttanesca with Butternut Squash Noodles
I’ve made this Diver Scallop and Shrimp Puttanesca twice in the past week. It’s a little salty, a bit spicy, and super-savory. Made with simple and fresh ingredients, it’s a great weeknight meal. Even though this dish takes a little longer than 30 minutes to prepare (breaking my rule of calling it a weeknight meal), a […]
Macadamia Nut English Toffee
During our honeymoon, we stopped at a little boutique chocolate factory in the Marlborough region of New Zealand. They offered free tastings, so we tried a variety of confections. However, our favorite was the Macadamia Toffee. As if one side wasn’t enough, they coated both sides of toffee with milk chocolate and finely chopped macadamia […]
Pistachio English Toffee
A week or two ago, I posted the recipe for Macadamia Nut English Toffee. It was the first toffee recipe that I’ve posted on That Oven Feelin’, but I knew right away that it wasn’t going to be the last. Even though I don’t eat many sweets, I really liked having a little toffee in the […]
Slow Cooker Carnitas
When looking for inspiration at the grocery store, there is always one section that I tend to skip over. I closely scan the beef, seafood, and chicken counters, but have never really stopped to look at pork. This past week, the butcher was organizing large pork butts (shoulder) and I thought, why not? An 8 pound […]
Slow Cooker Korean Lettuce Wraps
Okay, here it is. Pork Butt Part II. If you’re a little confused, let me explain. Last week, I bought a large pork butt at the grocery store. I used half of it to make some pretty awesome Slow Cooker Carnitas and saved the other half for these Korean Lettuce Wraps. These lettuce wraps are super-easy to […]
