Sharing is Caring.....

Hi My Loves!!!

Do you ever feel like you get stuck in a dinner rut??? I am in one right now. I am in desperate need of some new recipes or ideas for dinner meals. I feel like every week I end up just doing the same, or similar meals and I'm getting so bored with them!!! I'm sure Jay is too although he would never admit it........

(Photo Surce: Google)

So if you have some snazzy (EASY) dinner recipes or ideas for me, please just comment below or if it's the actual recipe just email them to me at samschuerman@gmail.com and I would be so grateful!!!! I'm sure you guys have got some pretty amazing ones!

Whichever ones I try, if I get the chance and remember to take pictures, I will post on here so that we can all try them out :)

That's the beauty of the blogging/you tube community... learning and sharing new things :) 

BECAUSE SHARING IS CARING :) Haha!

P.S. I don't like seafood or pork or super spicy things........

Thanks so much loves!!!

My Favorite Curry!!!

Hi My Loves!!!

I've had quite a few people asking me about how I make my curry from a while ago and so last night when I made it, I thought I would snap a few pictures so you guys could see what I use. I would love to sound all snazzy and say I make it from scratch but I'm not nearly that cool :)

This is a super easy dinner to make and so yummy if you love a good curry. I have tried quite a few different jarred sauces and this is by the best by far. It's not too spicy but has great flavor.

It's the Patak's Simmer Sauce Tikka Masala Curry. I used to have to get it at World Market but they started carrying it at Walmart a few months ago so that's exciting. Ours runs out super fast though, so I always make sure I stock up. 

I basically just cut up 2 chicken breasts into small pieces, throw them in the pan with some olive oil and cook them on medium-high heat until they are nice and white and now deathly with salmonella :) Then I add the whole jar of sauce with a little bit of water (just add some to the jar to get the leftovers out) and reduce the heat to simmer and let it sit with the lid on for about 15 minutes :) Make some white rice and ding.... you are done.  

Normally I make broccoli as a side (we were out) and we always eat Naan Bread with it too (we were also out of that). I get mine at Walmart in the bakery section. It's so yummy!!!! I just spread a little butter on it and stick it in the broiler for a couple minutes.

Enjoy :)

Happy Sunday!!!

Sam's Spaghetti Bolognese!

Hi My Loves!!!

Just before Valentine's Day I made Jay's favorite meal that I make, which is Spaghetti Bolognese. It's a great hearty dinner that can feed a lot of people, or if it's just 2 people, you can always freeze the rest of the sauce and use it at another time :) It freezes and re heats super well.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1-Large White Onion

4-Organic Carrots ( I prefer organic because they taste sweeter and cook quicker)

1lb Ground Beef (or turkey if you prefer)

Basil 

Salt & Pepper

1-Clove of Garlic

1-Can Del Monte Diced Tomatoes with Garlic & Olive Oil

1-Jar Prego Roasted Garlic Parmesan Pasta Sauce

(These are my favorite flavors so that's why I put these specifically, I've tried a bunch of other variations, but this always tastes the best)

Thin Spaghetti 

(I'm not gonna say how much because I don't know how many people your cooking for)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Get your water boiling for your spaghetti

2. Get your large pan ready on medium to high heat and add about a tablespoon of olive oil

3. Peel & Chop your carrots ( I like to make them round) and add to large pan/skillet (whatever you want to use)

4. Dice your onion, chop your garlic and add to pan

5. Cook on medium high heat and keep stirring for about 10-15 minutes, so that the onions get nice and see throughish :)

6. Add your basil, salt & pepper (to taste)

7. Add your ground beef to onions and carrots and keep stirring until meat is browned (usually about 5-10 minutes)

8. Add diced tomatoes and stir

9. Add pasta sauce (I always like to add some water in the jar once it's empty and shake it up to get the rest of the sauce out.... maybe about 1/2 cup)

10. Add some more olive oil..... maybe another 2 tablespoons ( I never measure)

11. Put the lid on your sauce and turn the heat down to simmer for about 20-30 minutes. I find that the longer it simmers, the better the flavor. I simmered this for about an hour and it was AMAZING!

12. Once your put your sauce on simmer, add your spaghetti to the water and boil until they are done :)

13. Drain pasta, put back into pot, add some more olive oil.

14. PLATE IT UP!!!!

I always like to make some garlic bread to go a long with this meal. I just get whatever looks yummy in the freezer aisle :)

DING!!!! Here is your finished meal :) This was Jay's. He adds parmesan cheese to his.

Here was mine ;) 

This is always super yummy as leftovers too. The sauce just gets better with time ;)

And here is what Mr. Phoenix made while I was cooking :) Some oatmeal, trail mix bars, rice and a ball!

 Looks tasty!! He's a little chef in the making :)

Haha

I hope you guys like this recipe. It's taken me a few years to make it just how I like it. 

Of course I'm sure there are lots of different ways to make this and different spices and herbs to add but this is how we like it :)

Please let me know if you make it! I'd love to know how you and your family like it! Post a picture to my Facebook page :)

Thanks for reading!

Happy Eating!

Sam
