Quarantined Dinners

5/11/2020

0 Comments

 
With being in quarantine I was forced to feed myself yet again! No more fast food! No more going out at all! So, I've learned to cook. Look at my masterpieces.
Picture

Spicy Barbecue Chicken Tenders​

Chicken tenders are a favorite any time of year. I mean, at one point I was eating them everyday. So when I came across some chicken breasts in my freezer, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Spicy Barbecue Chicken Strips! So delicious! With those I made a white cheddar mac and cheese and loaded mashed potatoes. So much cheese baby!

Sweet Chili Salmon

This baked Thai sweet chili salmon is quick, ridiculously easy, healthy, and packed with flavor! I had some salmon fillets and was filling tired of the same lemon dressed recipes so I found this! I paired it with some wild rice, oven roasted Brussels sprouts and black beans. OOH! It was so good!

Garlic Baked Chicken

Super quick, easy and delicious Garlic Butter Chicken. The best chicken breast dinner! I had some more chicken after the tenders and dropped it into a baking pan! I served it with roasted asparagus, pinto beans, cheesy scallop potatoes, and toasted buns. MmMmMm!

​Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo

This  classic Italian recipe is creamy parmesan sauce, topped with sautéed garlic shrimp. It's super easy to make and is a great go-to dish. With some shrimp I found in the fridge, I knew exactly what it do. With it, I steamed some broccoli and tossed it in salt and pepper. And I baked some home-made garlic cheese toast. Magnifico!

Chicken Pesto

So simple. Yet, so delicious! This one pot Chicken Pesto Pasta is chicken, yellow pepper and rigatoni pasta in a basil pesto sauce. Out of my chicken thighs (that I had for probably too long) I tried something that I've never cooked, or even had, before. With that I popped open some Pillsbury biscuits. Super simple! Super satisfying!

​Jambalaya

With the leftover shrimp and some cajun sausage I made my absolute most favorite dish. I've talked about it before on the blog, I think. Jambalaya! It's spicy, hearty, and incredibly flavorful. I also threw in some red peppers and a little bit of diced tomatoes with a little bit of flare. This dish called for no sides and we just ate it as it was! So satisfying!

Chili

​Another one post recipe! This traditional chili recipe is just like mom used to make with ground beef, beans, tomatoes, and a simple homemade blend of chili seasonings. It's thick, it's filling and it makes me happy!

Shrimp Stir Fry

I ran out of rice so I used pasta noodles instead. I still think it worked. Shrimp Stir Fry is a quick and healthy. We sure loved it!  Loads of ginger and garlic, fresh veggies and juicy shrimp are tossed in a simple delicious stir fry sauce. I served it with some toasted rolls.

Rigatoni Alfredo

I just Fettuccine Alfredo. But I ran out of pasta. Oops! It's quarantine okay!? But this  classic Italian recipe is is still super good in creamy parmesan sauce. To bad I used the last of the shrimp in the Jambalaya. And of course I paired it with some broccoli, tossed it in salt and pepper, and some home-made garlic cheese toast. Just as delicious! 

Baked Chicken

Simple baked chicken flavored with garlic, butter and herbs, then oven roasted to a golden, crispy, and juicy perfection! EASY, simple to make and flavorful. This is the BEST best baked chicken. And this was my absolute favorite meal growing up. Mainly for the potatoes and green beans, which I baked with the chicken. Along with it I made some beans. Ooh, I'm hungry now!
I am not the best chef (or photographer) I must admit. However, I love cooking. It was so much fun. So delicious. So enlightening and almost therapeutic. And the more that I do the better I get! My boyfriend doesn't mind my new found love either. He's gotten some pretty good eats out of it. And these are just the one that I remembered to get pictures of. I've cooked just about everyday through this quarantine. I've mad a lot of food and I have no more left. Good thing I'm going home for the summer. I am very proud of my dishes and myself. I'm so excited to where this will take me! I'll keep you updated.
