While I was at Aldi for dog food ingredients, I found the best thing ever! Two tiny steaks wrapped in bacon. Good quality steaks, the bacon isn't the best but it works. I had found some freezer meals for one at my store. We sell so many of them that I figured they would be … Continue reading I Found Tiny Food
I mean for real tiny! The stove-top has 2 burners that measure 6.5 inches. That sounds reasonable. Look at your basic cereal/soup/salad bowl and imagine cooking on it. I got a steak. A beautiful New York Strip steak. A dinner to celebrate my new home! Steak and rice seemed like a nice, simple beginning. The … Continue reading Let’s talk tiny
Soup is a great way to use up the bits from the fridge. Soup can also be a great way to use up the garden before the weather turns. I happened across some sexy leeks on a great sale so I loaded up! I love leeks just by themselves. Crispy, braised, sauteed, baked, grilled. There … Continue reading Potato Leek Soup- Tiny Edition
Beef stroganoff is one of our favorites. Who doesn't love a creamy, mushroomy, oniony kind of sauce with beef and served over noodles? It's all the things that are good in one bowl! I picked this for a date night dinner as it had been ages since I had made it. With only 2 burners … Continue reading Beef Stroganoff
We are going to talk about the tiny kitchen! I mentioned that I only had 2 induction burners that I had to watch a video about how to use. I had a microwave and a toaster oven. The toaster oven set off the smoke detector every time. Turns out it was a heat detector instead … Continue reading Stir Fry
Ok, one last tomato recipe and a pause on the side dishes. I am excited to tell y'all about the tiny kitchen creations so this will be our last 'mater dish. I don't always want a sandwich but sometimes the bits left around the kitchen lend themselves to being stuck between two slices of bread. … Continue reading Tomato Sandwich with Herbed Cream Cheese
If there is a veg that I love as much as the tomato, which isn't a veg at all, it would have to be the cucumber! She is so versatile. She can be pickled, sauteed, grilled, juiced, sliced into water or eaten raw. This is another simple salad. By simple in this case I mean … Continue reading Cucumber Salad
We had a bumper crop of the 'maters so I am going to keep sharing how I used them. This is another super simple side. It's summer, it's hot, no one wants to work any harder in the kitchen than necessary. Good quality ingredients make this salad absolutely burst with flavor! The ingredients can be … Continue reading Greek Salad
We are going back to our summer salad state of mind. This is one of my favorites as it combines fresh tomatoes and corn. Is there anything better than a fresh veg salad? I don't think so. This is probably the easiest of all the salads as well as being tasty! 4 cups fresh corn … Continue reading Basil, Feta and Corn Salad
Just hearing the name of this salad transports me to warm days and bright skies! Fresh basil, mozzarella, tomatoes and avocado is a dream combination. I got the idea for this from a magazine and they had made perfect avocado halves with no skin. I tried to achieve this made for print loveliness to no … Continue reading Avocado Caprese Salad
