Cucumber Sandwiches

Advertisements

I’m still drowning in cucumbers, and as a result, I figured some sandwiches with some cucumbers in Italian dressing would be a nice treat. The dressing for these sandwiches is rich and full of flavors. The thick cream cheese brings a smoothness to the dish. The dill is subtle, but so delicious with the cream cheese. The ranch dressing brings most of the flavors, with garlic and onion bringing a savory flavor to the dressing. All that complimented by the fresh and crisp cucumber. You can pick from a variety of breads, but we went with the standard white bread today. Try this at home sometime soon and you won’t regret it!

Homemade Chicken and Broccoli

Advertisements

Chicken and broccoli is my favorite Chinese food. I’ve been eating it since I was a kid and I hear a lot of other people like it too. So, as a result, this dish was formed. When you choose to make this, you can substitute worcestershire sauce in place of soy sauce if you don’t have much ginger or garlic, since worcestershire has soy, ginger, and garlic in it. I used 2 small chicken tenders to make this, however, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to use a pound of chicken breast instead if your love Chinese food, or if you have a larger family than two to feed. Though this tastes very similar to takeout, this dish tastes just as good if not better with the sesame oil, and garlic powder coming through even more than takeout!

Taco Scrambled Eggs

Advertisements

Tacos are great to eat, but their leftovers are even better to work with. I could have made a casserole or just froze the meat for next time, but one of my favorite things to do with these leftovers is to make taco scrambled eggs. I’ve been making taco scrambled eggs since I was a kid. It’s simple! Just throw everything into a pan and in just a few minutes you’ll have a delicious, filling, savory breakfast. I used shredded shape cheese then topped it with slices of American. I also used my homemade cucumber salsa with this dish. Not only did it add beautiful color to this dish, but it was so refreshing with these eggs and brings a new flavor than normal salsa, though I love this with normal salsa too!

Green Beans

Advertisements

It’s not everyday I do two posts, however, my earlier post was short, so I wanted to share another today. I’m growing green beans in my garden this year. I usually just serve canned green beans, but I was convinced they would be good to have fresh, and if we don’t have them fresh, we can at least freeze them to preserve them. Here is a delicious way to serve them that doesn’t take much time or fancy prep work.
