Welcome :)

Recipes

I use this website every week when planning meals, so I organized it by category. It's easier to pick one recipe from each category than to pick 8 recipes from the whole list.

Mexican

• Chicken and Skirt Steak Fajitas I double the onions, still use 1 red bell pepper, and 2 poblano peppers instead of green bell peppers. I also broil the meat on a wire rack on the baking sheet. Pat the meat very dry!
• Pupusas with avocadoes (not really Mexican)
• Chicken Tinga We don't use chicken fat like he suggests, there is never enough chicken fat. Also Using all the peppers in the can makes it very spicy.
• Green Chicken Enchiladas We use El Pato red sauce, and usually poach 3 chicken breasts instead of doing a rotisserie chicken.
• Guacamole

Soup

• Peanut Chicken Curry I like it less thick, using 4.5 cups of chicken broth, and always end up needing to simmer the vegetables for an hour so I just add the vegetables at the same time as the chicken.
• Tomato Bisque
• Pork Chile Verde Chicken thighs are great too! I usually use 4. If sear chicken thigh, pressure cook for 20 min
• Wild Rice Soup I add chicken breasts

Seafood

• Honey Garlic Shrimp>
• Salmon burgers

East Asian

• Chinese Chicken Thighs
• Ginger Fried Rice
• Congee

Drumsticks

• Chicken Drumsticks In the oven I cook this on 425 the whole time, for just 40 minutes and rotate it once about halfway through. In the air fryer its 18 min at 400.
• Toss 6 in olive oil and then coat them 2 tablespoons of flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 tablespoon of Tony Chachere's or Costco Sweet Mesquite seasoning. Air fry 18 min at 400 degrees.

Wings

• Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings I stopped making this with the glaze because my kids can't handle the heat. In the air fryer its 16 min at 400.
• Similiar to the drumsticks, Ill defrost about 15 of the costco wings and do 2 tablespoons of NOT ALUMINUM baking powder, 1 tablespoon of costco sweet mesquite seasoning or Tony Chachere's

Sunday

• Steamed salmon We always double the sauce.

• Daal (written recipe) We use our instant pot for 1 minute, with 3 cups of liquid. Once the instant pot finishes, we let it depressurize for 5-10 minutes before using the quick release. I saute the onion and aromatics in the instant pot, it does a good enough job and then you don't need to clean a skillet.
