An Odd but Delicious Friday Night Dinner

An Odd but Delicious Friday Night Dinner I was out and about yesterday afternoon, so I thought I would go ahead and get some ideas for our Friday night dinner. I messaged Shawn to see if he wanted anything in particular. His response was he wasn’t all that hungry. Fast forward five minutes later and he threw out the suggestion of KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) bowls, but still said he wasn’t really hungry. Well, that was helpful! Hahaha! I generally make a copycat version of the KFC bowls instead of…

Turkey Egg & Cheese Muffins

13,August, 2018 Shannon

I love breakfast recipes that are quick and easy, yet hearty, and I think this recipe satisfies both of those. This is a simple, relatively healthy, and pretty dang tasty recipe for turkey, egg, and cheese muffins. It can also be customized to your liking which is an added bonus. Who doesn’t love an added bonus? 😉 I think these would make a great boat passage meal too! Ingredients 6 eggs ¼ cup milk 2 – 3 slices of sliced turkey or ham, diced 1 cup chopped baby spinach…

Five Bean Turkey Chili Night on a Chilly Night

Five Bean Turkey Chili: Introduction Few foods satisfy on a cold night like a hot bowl of Five Bean Turkey Chili served with sour cream, cheese and a few corn or tortilla chips. Tonight, in the aftermath of the frigid temperatures from Bomb Cyclone Grayson, we were both hungry, and we both thought Five Bean Turkey Chili sounded like it would hit the spot. Everyone has their own recipe for chili, and I am no different. Typically I shoot more for the fullness of a balanced flavor, rather than just…

Banjo’s Hashbrown Casserole

There’s a restaurant here in New Bern that has some pretty tasty Dutch potatoes, or as I call it hashbrown casserole. Recently, after a visit to said restaurant, I was reminded just how much our Captain loves this delicious cheesy dish. Without delay, I set out on a mission to replicate it, or at least make something acceptable. After researching several recipes online, I came up with my own version of what I am calling Banjo’s Hashbrown Casserole. To my surprise, the Captain approved, and actually said my hashbrown casserole…

Apple Cranberry Pecan Bread

11,December, 201711,December, 2017 Shannon

I am often asked since we are currently docked in a marina, and I am not currently working, “What do you do all day?” Well, it depends on the day, but there is always something to do. Some days are cleaning or boat project days, others are shopping or tracking down parts days, but almost every day I dabble in some kind of cooking or baking. Although I am no chef by any stretch of the imagination, I do enjoy to cooking mostly because I enjoy the eating part…
